Yes, pains me to say it but an early VFR750 is a much better buy than a VF500.
Yeah. That's problem Pledging is one thing. Seeing the actual cash is another. My advice is don't go there. 32 springs in a VF but each valve has...
There are 32 valve springs in a VF500. THe VF500 isn't the worse Honda made either. Check out the CX650Turbo, CBX550, CB750/900. Similar vintage...
Ask them how much first. It's just not economical, unless you have money to burn. Hope I'm wrong but I doubt it.
And another bike to ride when you are working on the VF!
It did have support way back but it's over 30 years old. It still looks pretty modern (I'm biased) so maybe that's influencing you. Believe me if...
Your would be wasting your time and money. It's a very old bike that didn't sell that many anyway. It had a production run of two years (three if...
You really need to look at the carbs. These bikes are notorious for having blocked circuits in the carbs. If you are getting fuel and any spark...
That mangled plug is a symptom of a dropped valve. You need to compression check the cylinder it came out of. I am afraid your engine is probably...
There was no gasket on my 86 tank, just the very thin O ring .
Thanks. Well as close to mint as a 30 year old bike that is used can be. However one has to be sanguine about these things. The rest of the bike...
If I knew what the drop list was I might be interested
Thanks. Can't be an 84 if its like mine though, unless it's repainted. They introduced that red/white/blue paint scheme in 86, in Europe anyway.
See above. As far as I know just the petcock fitting flange. The petcocks are significantly different too.
1986 [ATTACH] 1984 and 1985 [ATTACH]
Yeah spotted that alright. Wrong colour and wrong year though. Shipping and import duties would make it hugely expensive. If it was the right...
Being an idiot, I let my 1986 (Euro fully faired) VF500F2F roll off the side stand and fall into a steel crash barrier. The tank is now creased...
Where I am from (UK) we have high detergent fuels which I use in my VF500. I reckon with regular use these do a good job in keeping carbs clean....
When I did a 17 inch conversion on my 86 I changed the gearing from stock to 15/41. This meant the wheel was too far back so I had to take a link...
If you have no adjustment left to take out the slack when the chain wears, then yes, something is very odd. If the wheel is back as far as it will...
