Just one reason, they tend to fall out. When that happens there are usually 2 results. If your lucky the chain will get spit out onto the road...
Wrong section. This is for the 86-87 bikes.
There isn't much reason to get a narrow 17" as you'd still be limited to a small number of bias ply tires. If you wanna do a wheel swap, you...
I don't think there is an alternative relay. They rarely go out and are used on many Honda models so getting a working used one or a new one is...
Oh yes, on the front end swap I used the unique kawa stem and just lengthened it on the bottom to fit the taller neck on the Honda frame. I found...
I would ignore the naysayers. My front end swap was the best mod ever. Some notes though. Since the donor bike had a steeper rake to the forks...
Almost all exhausts for these bikes are no longer sold, but which one are you referring to?
Squirrelman means "You have another issue. No fuel pump or pump relay problem will NOT cause the engine not to crank over (before it starts)." Is...

Just a reminder, you can replace all 4 plastic tubes with a set made from metal for $70. You won't have to worry about cracks any more.
I don't have an answer, sorry. Have you compared your plastic tee set with a proper picture to make sure it's all the correct parts? I'm...
I've never needed to buy a rebuild kit. I replaced the float bowl o-rings with 041 units from a hydraulic repair shop (total $2) and simply...
Say what? An update on my tuning. I didnt realize it, but my carbs are running the Dynojet stage 1 needles. The one on the right. [IMG] I...
It's pretty hard to get big clamps on the small battery terminals. You can attach the ground clamp to the bikes frame (I do it right where the...
I've been talking to Rae-San and feel I have a good working knowledge of the 82-97 Honda V4 ignition systems. I'm working on a thread that will...
Oh, A1gatorz, below are pics from the Honda Factory Service Manual showing the air gap specs on the 1st gen VF bikes. They definetely left it out...
