Almost everything you say is true. However, the rims of these bikes are very narrow. Therefore, they need the extra sidewall height to step up to...
Yeah, you're on the right track. But the 140/70 18 should be 653.2 mm
I don't know if you can put the 140/70-18 on the bike. I'm running a 140/80-18 on the rear right now (Bridgestone Battlax45). The manufacturer...
I've used wd40 to lube throttle cables and I wouldn't recommend it. Mine ended up sticking again later. wd40 isn't really a lubricant, its...
Thanks for the reply. I ended up finding a rear rotor on ebay that was in good shape for only $20. I was the only one to bid.
I was a bit worried about that, it won't be cheap. I'm trying to fit a vf1000r rear rim on a vf750f.
Are there any options for the rear brake on a vf1000r. They are not available through Dennis Kirk and the ones on ebay are used and overpriced. I...
Just looking for a way to put radial tires on my '84 vf750f. I think radials are available for the rims on the vf1000r. Can these rims be swapped...
Awesome, thanks for the advice.
Hey guys, I've been thinking about re-jetting my bike. I have a full kerker exhaust and a K&N airfilter. Any recommendations for what jets to...
Just re-read your post and saw it was the No. 1 intake valve. Funny, that is the same one that went on mine. I think that cam is the most...
Sounds like the cams have gone to s*** just like most do eventually. My '84 750 had a similar course of events that is leading me to replace the...
I haven't taken the bike to a certified mechanic. But a visual inspection of the cams shows pitting on all lobes, and a significant amount of...
Nailer, Just to satisfy my curiosity, what about the 700cc cams won't work? Will the valves strike the piston or something like that?
Not expecting an improvement. My 750cc cams are very pitted and the engine cannot be run as it is now. One of the cams wore down and is making a...
My understanding was that the 750 and 700 had different profiles. I doubt many have experience with this, maybe going the other way 750 cams in a...
Ok, this is going to sound a bit strange. I have an '84 vf750f with pitted camshafts. I'd love to harden the pitted cams and run a bit more...
Thanks for the reply. I have the option of a cam to boost midrange, or one aimed toward top end. I'm trying to decide which one to do. Did you...
Jethro is completely right. I'm studying engine science and here's my 2 cents: Engine octane rating is a method (sometime inaccurate) of...
