1984 VF500 Spare parts

1984 VF 500 Interceptor parting out - Mississauga / Peel Region Motorcycle Parts, Accessories For Sale - Kijiji Mississauga / Peel Region

A guy in my area is selling stuff.

I'll go meet up with him soon.

Anyone need something?

Rebored engine with new wiseco pistons?

 

Thanks alot buddy! Now the whole world knows about it....lol

I have been corresponding with him since I sent you the link. He just sent me photos today. I am considering buying most of what he has.

 

lol...sorry.

You and I will get most of the parts since we are close.

Did you ever talk to that guy in Toronto with the VF500 with no ownership?

 

No. It sounds a little dishonest based on him posting a pic of another bike as you found out.

I want the motor, excluding heads from the guy near you. Is that what you want too?

 

My bottom end is fine....I need heads.

I just don't know if they will fit my 86 block.

Could use the 86 front fairing if it's in good shape and a seat.

 

Invisible Cities will likely have some input, but my hunch as that they would work fine. Essentially what you would have is an 84-85 motor with your 86 carbs and rad. Essentially what I had before my rebuild. I say this because it seems that the only real motor change that anyone cites between the 84-85 and the 86 is the heads. It would be worthwhile for you to take the time to cross-check all of the part numbers between the too.

 

When I go on bike bandit and check the "Crankcase set"....

The part numbers for 1986 VF500F are different than the part numbers for the 1984 and 1985 Magna and Interceptors.

????

 

Interesting. I guess that answers that question. I wonder what else is different...

 

Yea that's the million dollar question with the VF500's.

Rockers are the same for all 3 years.

Valves and cams are the same for 84 and 85

Head gaskets are different for all 3 years.

Seems like the 86 has mostly unique parts for that year.

if he sells the heads cheap maybe i'll buy em just so I can see if they'll fit.

 

Anyone - What would be a reasonable price to pay for the disassembled motor with no heads? Rebored, new Wiseko pistons, main and connecting bearings, etc. installed. I know that pistons and rings are somewhat hard to get a hold of.

 

also 86 got rid of the cam chain and went to gear driven cams.......the most important change.......

 

Not on the 500. They never went gear driven.

 

I don't know what I'd offer for that. How much is it bored over?

Pffft....yea. I WISH. :wink: Not the VF500

 

sure? I though that 86 saw the end of the craptastic cam chain for all? ah well........

 

If it had an OEM windscreen w/ trim in really good shape I'd ask one of you guys to grab it for me. I want to try to darken one, and don't wanna botch mine if it doesn't work.

 

More sure than anything in my life.

 

True indeed the '84/'85 and '86 VF500F engines have chain driven cams - but - why the bad press on this design?
