I can help out on this one, when I get to the shop tomorrow. I'll try to remember.
In looking around for other info, I ran across this link, which give a reasoning for them changing the spec, from Dave Dodge, THE early VF guru....
It looks like the springs are the same, and the exhaust valves. The intakes valves would be in common with the 86 VF500. That is what I think...
I don't mind the threadjack! It's commonplace on the other forum that I use everyday! By keeping the revs in check, I've read on here that...
I'll let you know as soon as I know what's going on with it.
That would be AWESOME! Especially if you have verified that they're good. No, you're not crazy. I'm a bit skeptical on riding the bike very...
