Good point! I forgot that part! :doh:
www.bikebandit.com they have a parts fiche that's got just about every consumable part for the VF500, if you have problems finding stuff, I can...
Expect the price to rise substantially, the shims for the valve adjustment (if needed) are pretty expensive and your bike has 16 of them. Though,...
Eek, all 4 carbs should open at the same time no matter where on the linkage chain you open it up. Did you remove the carbs off the air chamber?...
240 for labor is still really good IMO.
