So I have been commuting for a few weeks now on the bike becasue the car is down....I had to go to our other building yesterday were their is...
A little off topic, But has anyone ever tried to make a custom "Collector" for the 500 to turn it into more of a 4-1 exhaust?
IT's running perfect! I took off the carbs again.....and 2 of the 4 idle jets were plugged. I re-cleaned all 4 with the help of 24/28 gauge wire....

I was able to see light through the holes. And I blasted cleaner through the ends. But I definitly think they are clogged again. On my ride back...
Ya I tried using tooth brush bristles to glean out the holes, But i guess they did get clogged again. It looks like I will take it all off again...
I drove it into work today. The idle stayed steady except for ~3 dips. Other than that it would hold at 3K rpms. I lowered the idle just a bit (...

I have a 86 VF500F. No fuel pump. The petcock seems to have gone south. With the lever in the "off" position fuel still flows through ( took the...
The 86' 500 didn't have a fuel pump right? at least I know mine doesn't...
Hate to bring up an old topic....but was the noise ever found? was the bike fixed?
It was the starter..... after providing power directly to the starter while on the bike and not hiving it start, I pulled it off the bike,...
OK, I charged up the battery yesterday and when I got home I tried to start the bike (VF500). When I pressed the start button, all i heard was a...
