Most bikes come stock with ball bearings. The tapered bearings are more durable, but harder to adjust. When you know you'll likely have...
I wonder if you have a blocked tank vent? That's another possibility here.
Did you replace the exhaust gaskets when you did this exhaust work? Maybe it's an exhaust leak. Or maybe one of those collars at the top of the...
You're not going to find a lot of large weights to take off. At this point you're getting into shaving an ounce here, an ounce there. You'll...
Behind the pads there are these little spring plates. I think they are supposed to prevent squeal. Are they missing? Are they installed correctly?
She. :biggrin: Ooh, good point, that would be the simplest possible cause of that sound! :redface:
Well, when you change the exhaust it will shave off weight, and if you do it right it will improve performance. Could you replace the battery...
If you just had the exhaust off, maybe that is the source of the noise. I don't know about the VF500, but I know some V4s of that vintage had...
I agree with the valve idea people have posted here. The VF500F has screw type adjustors, no shim kit is needed. I'm wondering if maybe one of...
Welcome Rodon! I hope you enjoy your new VFR as much as I am enjoying mine. :smile:
Clogged fuel filter, or bad fuel pump, or bad fuel pump relay. Is there rust in the tank? That could clog the filter, or even clog the screen...
More countries use daylight savings time, than not. But they have many different dates for the time changes. And there are parts of the USA that...
Yeah, I enjoy the chat, and it also spares the non-riders around me from my constant burbling about the motorcycles. :smile: It was nice meeting...
I love the TDM. It is the most fun bike I have ever ridden. It's just plain sweet. I don't know what is the matter with the American motorcycle...
After joining this forum last July, and looking around all winter, I finally got my VFR about two weeks ago. It is a 1994 model, red, with 25,000...
If the forks sliders (the part of the top tubes that goes in and out through the seals) are clean and undamaged, then once you replace the seals...
Write to Dave Dodge at Dodge Racing Products, drp123@mindspring.com. He often has some used V4 carb parts available for sale.
I love my Givis. I've had the same set for years, and I currently have three bikes, with Givi racks on each of them. I never unpack my cases all...
If this is bad enough, then the symptom you would feel while riding, is that the bike will weave. With a notch in there you can't make the smooth...
I agree, if the front brakes have been oiled you should replace the pads. If you don't have at least some tools already, the do-it-yourself...
