Isn't there's a link for the Clymer VF500F manual in the specifications section? I've never been able to find a download for the factory manual....
No you don't. Just unbolt it. If everything is loose around it there should be (just barely) enough clearance to get the valve cover out. -Jake
Because you have a left exit exhaust? Is that the Two Brothers set-up or a different one? Spill the beans brother! -Jake
I've never understood this either. The only thing I can think of is that by keeping the system pressurized any air bubbles will be smaller and...
Pacific Northwest Riders <-Linky As long as you don't mind riding with people not on VFRs. -Jake
If it's a part I know is out of stock elsewhere I call first. It's possible they have a few left but it's more likely that they're lazy and...
By not draining out the excess you risk running your crank through an oil bath thus increasing rotational resistance of the engine and creating a...
That's more common than you think. I'd say redneck would be cinder blocks or wheels. -Jake
How The Onion isn't behind this I don't know. -Jake

If I wasn't getting rid of my 500 I'd love to pick up a set of those just to be different. -Jake
I'm not aware of the VF ever being made with those wheels. The only bikes I've ever seen those on are the CX Turbos and Eurosports. Regardless,...
Depends on where you live. PNW Riders is a good place to find like minded individuals as well. -Jake
Who has this? A VF500 kit would be a VTR250 kit x2 so what's stopping them? Cost? I find that hard to believe since they already have the 250 kit....
There is no fix for the VF500F valve spring issues short of replacing them on a periodic basis. As the springs are no longer available and there...
No dice with the dual carb setup? -Jake
I love the first gen's and I've really enjoyed my 500 but when you start looking at long term benefits he has some good points. I do think he...
My understanding is that the '86 had hotter cams to make up for the smaller carbs. I don't know anything about them being de-tuned versions of the...
