Ahhh. Well then why did Honda go to gear driven cams? All my reading says that it was to prevent wear and was like some magic fix on the V4's.
Yes for your 86 motor, all valves need to be at .006 on intake and exhaust. A little click is no big deal. That's to be expected even at...
Thankfully the VF500F motor does not use shims, it uses a more familiar "locknut / adjuster" type setup. You check clearance, if needed loosen...
I think what he's saying is its not JUST the camshafts themselves - but the actually cams are gear driven instead of chain driven, making them...
It sucked. Honestly I was going to take pictures along the way to help everyone out - but I got frustrated and just wanted to finish the job. I...

According to the Clymers the 86 has no fuel pump. There are some other minor differences as well. Apparently the radiator swings out of the way...
I'm glad I've never had to it. It's a small bike, but still 400lbs.
Its easy to pull the seat and side cover off, slap on the trickle charger overnight once a week to make sure the battery never lets me down....
^^^^^^^^^^^ Wtf?? He was pushing start... That was a pretty useless post..
So with the F2 rear wheel on a VF500, should I run the 160 width or a 150 width?

Ha way to drive it home though slowbird =) :thumbsup:
