These are good little bikes, but you've got to make sure you keep up with the valve adjustments. Ask the owner if they've ever done one. If not,...
I'm definitely no doctor, but I would think that it looks OK. I had that junk in my ankle once and you should have bone growth in those areas...
Yes, 2001 was the last year for the 5th Gen. And yes, VTEC changes were made on the 2006 model. I own a 2007 and it is very smooth. No...
It looks great. Are you leaving the hard cases off (for now)? If you didn't want them, they'd be any easy sell.
I ran full synthetic in my 1986 VF500F, 1986 VFR750F and 1986 VF1000R with no problems at all. Technically, the 500 is a 1st Gen design.
The V4 carbs are a pain to get back on. What I usually do is straddle the bike, get the carbs for the back 2 cylinders seated, then I work in the...
For the 6th Gen, the only option I had was choosing between silver or black. Where they mount on the forks, assuming the forks are in the stock...
It is rare to see an original owner for a bike of this era. It looks great and appears to be unmolested. You've even got the stock exhaust on...

I really like the looks of the rim tape. I haven't seen many VFRs with it yet.
And I thought MX was dangerous. Great pictures Long. I see what you're saying that the bike could make a huge difference. A CRF250X has plenty...
I just sold my '86 750 last fall after owning it for more than 10 years. Every winter, I would store it dry in the basement. Every spring when I...
NOOOOOOOOOO!!! You just brought back some really bad memories. I had an external fixator on my ankle for 4 months back in the late 90's - of...
The PCV is the Power Commander FI module which eliminates the FI issues with the 6th Gen. Here is a link to a bunch of updates that I did to my...
Great job with the restoration. I'm glad to see that you actually followed it through and are getting back to normal. Your wrist will get there....
That's great news. Easy fixes are always the best. Let us know how the ride goes.
Luckily, she is into it as well. Over the years, we've gone to numerous Supercross events and outdoor Nationals. It's all good until somebody...
I love your quote. It is one that most of us are guilty of. I'm glad to know that I am not alone with this addiction. Anyhow, great looking...
Bummer Long. I feel for you. I broke my collar bone pretty good back in my MX days. The doctor said to stay off the bike for 6-8 weeks. I was back...
I like his mindset. He thinks like my 7 year old twins who right now are sharing a CRF50 and they scare me to death when they ride that thing....
