When starter switch is flipped from "off" to "on" then voltage is applied to CDI's and spark is produced momentarily at spark plugs. This is...
I took my chances with POR15 tank sealer this time. Though my '86 tank was in near perfect condition I knew without sealing I would eventually get...
I have seen these holes quite a few times. The adjacent area is unfortunately not much better. That's the VF500; a bike with great handling and...
Difference is quite big but I believe the '86 petcock is over engineered. The diaphragm of the '86 petcock is the same as the one of the VTR1000!
I tried to enter the brass tube of the '86 petcock in a '84 tank just for taking photos but it is slightly bigger so it cannot fit in. I believe...
Here is a lengthy -1000 words- reply: [ATTACH] If it doesn't come out clear or if any questions please ask. Scale is 1:1 I do respect your...
With just petcock modification the answer IMHO is definitely NO. The brass tube of the '86 barely enters the '84/'85 tank and the mounting plate...
It seems like the '86 petcock is at least double in external piping! [ATTACH] [ATTACH] Thanks IC! If you hadn't triggered me with...
No. I didn't have an '86 petcock yet, only an '86 tank which is on the way to be finished. I have opened/modified an '84 petcock which is placed...
The fuel outlet diameter of the '84/'85 petcock is probably the only non restrictive part of it. Internal petcock piping have half of outlet's...
To answer the first question, setting the float height lower after removing the fuel pump is NOT the way to go. Main problem in '84-'85...
How is overheating because of a non existing thermostat possible???
Cylinder numbering is: Front Left 2 Right 4 Rear Left 1 Right 3
Main switch then?
Your problem sounds electrical. I would inspect all connectors, from pulse generators, to CDi boxes, to HT coils one by one. Maybe a loose pin...
I'm sorry I don't know them, nevertheless I doubt if there is difference of few degrees or if there is any difference at all. Alteration of...
Copied from the Dutch manual: VF500 thermostatic fan switch on @90±2°C, off @85±2°C (on @190.4F~197.6F, off @181.4F~188.6F)
50 degrees is a lot, doesn't sound correct. I have done the parallel switch mod. It works well only if you have it permanently on while in...
Page 9-1 included. A note on service manual numbers. it seems the "200" refers to 1984 while 201 refers to 1985 and 1986, "MF" is the VF500 so is...
Here are the Specifications of: VF500F/F (1985) European version (?) as stated in Honda shop manual 67MF201 [IMG] [IMG] [IMG] [IMG]
