My wife and I went for a short ride by Horsetooth reservoir outside of Fort Collins, CO. Wonderful riding day, bit I was coming down with a cold. :p
I recently purchased a new clutch lever for my 85 VF500F (new aftermarket on eBay for $11 shipped); the existing one was kind of ratty looking and...
+1 as well. It would significantly ease fixing my problem. :tongue:
That sounds like a good plan to me. Any chance you have a part number so I can check the fiche and determine if it matches my VF500F part?
Well, I know the starter button is hosed; there are signs of melting in the switch itself and it keeps the headlight from working. If I can find...
You're certainly right there. If I can get my friend to come over maybe he can show me how it's done. Thanks!

Sweet! I'll PM. Thanks!
Thanks kindly!

The turn signal switch on my 85 VF500F is missing the little button. I understand these end up missing fairly often. Any sources for a...
Greetings folks. I'm hoping someone with better electrical knowledge can give me hand. The headlight won't turn on. When I first purchased...
Huh.... why didn't I think of that. :biggrin: Thanks!
Quick question: I don't have the owner's manual for my 85 VF500F. Can anyone tell me which fuse is which? Regards, John E.
Thanks kindly! I'm loving it; been away from bikes for ten or so years. It's been a great bike to return to riding on.
