There are some options that use the F2 caliper bracket, so let me know if you would like more information concerning that as anb option. As for...
I'd either go with -2 or -3 teeth on the rear or +1 tooth on the front. One tooth on the front sprocket is approximately the same as three teeth...
Has anyone contacted coppergaskets.us ? They have the pattern for the VF500F head gaskets. In fact, the guy e-mailed them to me a few years back...
Welcome! The 1000R is a great bike and I'm sure you'll find plenty of fans on this forum. Make sure to keep us up to date on your progress!
I'd say maybe your situation was a bit different than most! The typical wobble is something that easiest to see when you take your hands off the...
Rule #1 is never say you can't do something. If the guy said "I've never worked on carbs like that before" you probably would have walked! I...

It's possible to take the remote preload adjuster from the VFR800 shock and fit it to the 929 shock. It takes a little work, but it's not too...
Hummmm...... looks strangely similar to my bracket: [IMG] [IMG] I guess imitation is the sincerest form of flattery! My original...
Boy, I've got to tell you..... I really don't think any of those things are going to make a difference. Neither plugs, fuel pump, nor the idle...
TSB - Technical Service Bulletin I highly doubt it's the fuel pump. That would cause the engine to stop work while you are riding, not on...
Many 500's have this problem. There was a TSB that described an adjustment to the idle screw setting that was supposed to help with hot-start...
