Are you sure that Kibblewhite has a set of VF500F valve springs? That's the culprit - replacing just the spring is the only thing you need....
I sell a carb seal kit that contains everything you need. It's $25 with enough seals for all four carbs. Shoot me an e-mail and I'll get one...
Negative. The mushrooming is not from wear but rather from damage due to the slide-hammer effect of floating valves. The SB for the caps was a...
No need! You can find an o-ring that is already the correct size. In fact, one from the $25 VF500 seal kit that I offer is probably the same...
If you look at what causes dropped valves in the VF500's you'll find that maintenance doesn't play a role. Some people think that if they keep...
Yep, those are the ones that I sell.
This was something from way back when.... maybe the 60's? It was when cars had huge radiators but were inefficient. Removing the thermostat gave...
Yep, sounds like a dropped valve. Bummer! I'm sure there is someone out there who needs some parts (too bad you aren't closer) so I'm sure there...
Progressive rate springs are light on the first part of travel and get extra heavy on the last portion of travel to make up. That makes them too...
Agreed, original paint colors is really the only way to go. Pretty much anything else would look ugly. Try running a lower temp thermostat....
That's weird, it almost looks like your upper fairing is in the living room. My wife would never go for that!
It's very possible that the plastic fuel T is cracked. They are very brittle and are easily broken. I would suggest getting new ones on order -...
The answer is actually yes. The VFR750 uses smaller diameter springs because the forks are smaller. Even though they are not correct, they will...
Or just: Daugherty Motorsports - Tank Valve Petcock Modification That's been the permanent fix for my bikes!
Yep, that's a bent wheel if I've ever seen one. I've got a good spare in case you need one, just shoot me a PM.
What a bizzare issue. I really don't think the pulse generators are the problem because the unplug-plug process would make no difference. It...
Exactly. That's why I agree that yours are not correct. On all of the VF500 carbs I've worked on they were different - the needles and emulsion...
The parts do not make complete sense. I can tell you that the needles do not follow the emulsion tubes. It's weird. [img]
Please let us know what you find out. This is so weird and I'm curious to know what could be causing it.
Since the hydraulics are a closed system, if there is no air in there and no leaks it will work. I'd check to make sure the pushrod is in there...
