Update: - Fixed the horn. I tried a different one, did not work. Took apart the left controls and tested the switch, didn't work. So, there was...
I bought my first VF500 25 years ago this summer. Unfortunately I sold it 3 years later. As with all my bikes that I have owned over the years, I...
As I said it was just a guess. Lani from Copper Gaskets suggested this as a possibility. He said he has seen such modifications on other gaskets...
Yes, like this: HONDA CB750 VF500 XL200 XR200 XR250 FLYWHEEL PULLER: eBay Motors (item 110535165901 end time Jun-17-10 18:37:28 PDT) I thought...

It runs!!! I finally got it all back together last night and it started up within about a minute! What a relief. After so much work I was...

Just to clarify: I set all the clearances for each cylinder at its own TDC and used the mark to the right of the TR or TF letters for alignment,...
OK. PM your results and I will think about it. My priority right now is to get mine running and then decide if I am keeping it or moving onto a...
If I did buy it I would want to covert my painted up '84 to the '86 stock look. I would also pull whatever looked in better shape than my...

Pretty clean looking. I would pick it up if it were closer. 1985 Honda Interceptor - City of Toronto Sport Bikes For Sale - Kijiji City of Toronto

Help. The darn Clymer manual shows two different drawings for what TR alignment looks like!!!!! The section on valve clearance shows the line to...
