Facom is a highly regarded brand in Europe. French I think.
In my case it would need a hurricane :courage:
If you are interested in doing the mechanicing then fine. However, 1000 euro sounds an awful lot of money for what many would consider nothing...
Yes, I doubt that one will ever see the road again. Pity really.
Except the discs on a VF500 are not the floating kind. They are a one piece construction bolted to the centre hub of the wheel. I suspect the...
There was a service bulletin released in Aprl 1987 which was about putting hardened steel caps on top of the valves to prevent them mushrooming....

There's a belt conversion VF500 that has done 100K miles out there. Google it if interested. High mileage is possible. Most of the UK bikes I see...
Maybe wait for some other opinions on here who have a better handle on US prices. Even with the new stuff it still feels expensive to me. 19K...

Most of the sediment that gets throught the petcock filter ends up in the bottom of your float chambers. There is another little filter before the...
If your tank is clean then I question the need for these filters. Seems a lot of trouble for little benefit. The petcock itself has a plastic tube...
Have you had the cams out? It sounds like the timing is messed up.
As a alternative way to spend your dosh, consider changing them for 17 inchers. Best mod I did to my VF500F2. Handled well before but with Pilot...
