I've had bad caps before, and pressure leaks from radiators. Weak o-rings in the coolant pipes at the cyl heads and blown water pump pressure...
Yep, pull the main tank and pop an aux tank into the fuel line. I usually bend a coat hangar or some wire and hang it off the left...
I think the idle screws on those early V4 carbs are for the air bypass...but I'm not sure. My guess is that out is leaner, in is richer. If it's...
Looks just like my '95. I have about 33K on mine. My master cyl is very smooth and progressive. I'd pull it apart to see if the two-piece lever...
Good luck, let us know how it's coming along. One thing I forgot to mention about spare parts availability...I've heard that the '86 Interceptor...
I'd just tighten the plugs by feel. If you have a really nice torque wrench, use an extension and universal joint & go for it. I'm sure you know...
I'm glad you got it taken care of. I'll be sure to check mine, although I'm pretty sure they just need rebuilt. I also found that an ultrasonic...
That was a great deal! Sweet 1st gen. I always liked the blue/silver paint scheme on these bikes, and yours seem to be in excellent shape. Take...
Does the fan kick on before the bike overheats? Or does the bike overheat at idle even if the fan is running? Do you have a coolant pressure...
Check out the shop manual sticky, great info there. One of our members here (JasonWW) has the Honda Shop Manual uploaded. Here's a link to his...
Just received my parts, exactly as described, well packed. Buy his stuff - good prices, great service!
I hear you. Motorcycle tank restoration is probably a really good business to specialize in. Seems like I always have to buy a parts bike to get...
Nice score on the bikes - that's a lot of machinery for less than $1K. Wish mine had been that good of a deal! Is that a Fox twin clicker under...
I'm in! Thanks for the very reasonable prices too. With these parts and a little luck I might have my poor project bike on the road this summer!...
Yep, pic worked. Doesn't look bad, if the motor is OK. GLWS!
I'm hoping your seals swell up, but personally I'd pull the carbs and replace the rings. They're Buna-n nitrile rubber, and won't last long with...
Congrats, great bike you have there! I've never had the good fortune to have one out on the road, although I am familiar with taking them apart....
According to Partzilla, those insulator boots (PN 16211-ML7-000) are only common with the '86-'87 VFR, not the 500 Interceptor or any other Honda....
You might have a stuck/sinking float or a bad valve or grit in the seat. The carbs will overflow if the floats don't seal up. You can get new...
That's a great post, follow those directions and you'll be OK. I tend to use a giant screwdriver and I've also used a 3' prybar in the past....
