Awesome thread...I'm a huge fan of the Moab area myself. Been going there at least once, sometimes twice a year since 89. Usually I make a...
Good point JD...
Interesting...keep us posted
No...you won't hurt it by running the higher octane. I'm not positive about the bulbs...I'll check my shop manual today
I respectfully disagree with Jamie's assertion of "they all do it". I've heard some very quiet running VF500's. That being said, some pronounced...
Hi Slowbird...can't say for sure about OE recommendations, but here's from practical experience. My 85 ran fine on 87 octane oxygenated fuel we...
Sweet deal slowbird. The 86's were the best in the bunch of VF500's IMO...for a bunch of reasons. BTW...I sold my 85 (totally pristine and...
Good point Mike...everything makes sense in retrospect...I also wanted to ask some additional questions. Are all four spark plugs fouling? Or...
hmmm...sounds like you've put enough chemicals in it. Proper mixture screw adjustment is important for good idle, but that's not your...
I'm with squirrelman on this one. Routine valve lash adjustment is probably the best you could hope for. My 85 VF500F made very similar noise....
Hope its fixed...by the way, autoeb...I meant the part of the harness that comes from the engine, or alternator. Sorry for the confusion.
What the hey? Don't hold back on the detail. Post the specifics. There's a lot of sharp people on this forum.
Stators are relatively easy to test. Unplug the three pin stator connector...yellow wires. You will be probing the engine harness side. Check...
I just read this thread...thought I'd "dredge" it up cause I think I have some useful information. If you take the cap off your master cylinder...
A couple things come to mind that haven't been mentioned, although it's a stretch to think they would occur because of tipping the bike over. You...
The recall involves a bunch of other models that use the valve as well. The most common bike we sell covered was the GL1800. I've done dozens of...
No disrespect intended to Mason45...but Honda began align boring their V-4 heads beginning in 1986, with the exception of the 1100cc engine. This...
Not much history or info, huh? Sounds like it's not running on all four cylinders. Maybe a fouled spark plug? Bring your 17 digit VIN to a Hon...
Thanx all. Randy from BC...think Hon recommends 16K (that's miles), I've only done one vtech, at 20K and it did not require shimming. Vtech does...
To my knowledge, that little cut relay is used on ALL carburated Hon's that use an electric pump to help supply fuel...VF, VT, GL...you name it....
Separate names with a comma.
