You could keep the VF500 for the street, then!
Hoblick's bike would be a great choice! I'm just surprised to see him getting out of doing trackdays. He's a good guy that takes good care of...
I'm very happy with the BT45's. I have nothing to compare them to on the VF500, as they are what it came with from the PO. I have a set on the...
I bought the kit from partsnmore as well. All the gaskets that I've needed out of the kit have been just fine. I finally replaced the valve...
Sheep? (anyone that's on Ohio-riders as well will know what I'm talking about...)
I'm thinking I have the need to agree that the tool is needed in some cases. I re-adjusted mine the other day and it still has a couple ticking.

There's a thread that has the info somewhere, I'll see if I can figure out which it is.

There are a few tings under the chain cover that could be doing it. There's a water pump to case o-ring seal, the countershaft seal that was...
Mine must be set to spongy! My bike handles pretty well, it just gets a bit bouncy-ish feeling when hard into a curve. I really need to check...
I thought about all of the screws on my carbs were JIS. Thanks for reassuring me I wasn't confused!
The new Motionpro sticks don't use mercury, they're around $100. There's another out there that people here say is better, but I can't remember...
A JIS screw typically has a dot on the head to identify it as such. I've been told that many Snap-on screwdrivers are JIS, and I have had better...
That reminds me, I should sync mine again before I go messing with my mid-range "flatness" issue. I've had them off since the last time I synced...
Ridervfr has it right on for the chain adjustment. With that said, you know the chain is shot when it gets to the point of having to be adjusted...
You are on lucky person! WOW! I'd LOVE to find a deal like that on one of those!
I still love to beat up on my Ninja 250! I took it for a short ride this evening, and I kinda felt like I missed it since I've been riding the vf500.
I have both. My Interceptor is a 1985 500, and I have a 2004 Ninja 250. I really like both bikes. For reliabilty, the Ninja 250 is a tried and...
That is interesting.
