I don't know, many of my bikes spend quite a bit of time on the back wheel. Since the rear cylinder is actually pointing downward at this time,...
I feel like it's the safest and most robust way to make this work. Upper mount extensions have some issues and I don't feel comfortable with them.
No problem! I've shipped quite a few outside the US. Australia has been real popular lately for some reason, as has Europe. I also offer a...
I bought an Athena set once..... the first couple of parts I pulled out didn't fit at all so I threw it away. I was afraid to use the head...
The info have for the stock 84/85 cams is: Intake: .308" @ .040" 236° duration Exhaust: .299" @ .040" 236° duration Not sure about the 86's....
How about with the suspension? :biggrin: Yes my friend you are bold, but are you also..... daring? You are a giant among men.
Wow Tink, having a bad day? Slowbird doesn't have a place to work on the bike, no garage or anything. I can understand how that would make...
Sea Foam is probably worth a try, that's what I would do first. If that doesn't help you might need to pull the carbs to give them a thorough...
That's too bad. I twisted the throttle on one of my 500's yesterday and was able to get over 90mph in less than a 1/2 mile. Seems like you goal...
It seems to me that the VFR800 community as a whole is not really interested in more power (begs the question why Honda bothered bumping up the...
If it just dies at idle and every once in a while I'd say it doesn't sound bad enough to cause any damage.
I wouldn't worry about the year since I'm assuming you will be doing engine work anyway. The 500 engine does not require any special electrical...
I agree that the pilot circuit is where the issues lie. I would check to see what the pilot screws are set at. You never know, a simple...
Agreed, the 700's are very close to the 1000's but almost nothing is in common with the 500's.
I think it's doable for sure. The biggest challenge might be the distance, 1.3 miles from a standing start isn't that far. A 500 can hit 125mph...
While you might not be able to put the truth on an Ignore List, you can put S-man there. My suggestion to VF500Jeff is to do just that!
As mentioned, the noise is common and doesn't hurt anything. Don't mess around with attempts to quiet it down, that will only cause you problems....
That's actually pretty common with the 500's and I don't think it's anything to worry about. They have a weird noise that happens at low rpms...
You know, everyone that I've heard of trying to do this ran into quite a bit of problems. In order to do this you'll need to find 49-state carbs....
Yeah, the OEM shocks were marginal when new and by now are probably in a condition where they barely function. On the OEM unit there is really...
