I just got a compression tester that fits the tiny spark plug holes on the vf500f. The results were: (Dry Test) Front Right 50, Front Left 115,...
I haven't checked the timing, but I haven't opened this motor "up", so I suspected that the timing should be in order.
I've checked the gap on the plugs and they are right on, and clean. I checked for spark, but everytime I think about it I wonder if the spark...
Cleaned the carbs yesterday, at least to the best of my ability. There was alot of grime in there and all the jets were clogged. I believe I...

The warm weather gave me the opportunity to do some more work on the bike, started at 10am and ended at 9pm. Sanded and painted chipped paint...
Just figured it out, and I love it.
Where and how did you get that head light and tail light. Teach me the ways.
My diaphragm tops are pretty pitted and rusted, and I liked what you did with yours. What grit did you sand them down with before painting, and...
Thanks for the offer Matt, I'll take you up on that once this weather of ours gets a little warmer, and dryer. Working at Burton must be pretty...
My plans for this bike right now is to get it running, then get it inspect able, and then get my license with it. It's my first bike so it's bound...
