Super typical with those bikes. I've found that it's caused by three factors: - Bias ply construction front tire - Fork slider bushing...
That looks like a VF700F/750F cowl to me. The 500's lower cowl is much smaller than that. I guess it really doesn't matter, it looks great!
Here's a file that might help: http://www.daughertymotorsports.com/files/Valve%20shim%20sizing.xls I made this several years ago when I was...
Nice job Greg!!!
Yeah, it sounds like you didn't get hte cam timing correct. That's super easy to do, don't feel bad about it. You will want to be sure and check...
You know, I've never gotten that method of checking for leaks to ever work. Even though your bike has decently low mileage, it's also 25...
Sounds like maybe a vacuum leak? I'd check your carb insulators (boots) to see if they are cracked. You might also consider doing a carb sync -...
The skinny and fairly low profile front tire didn't offer much in the way of front end confidence. Turn in was ok but it just wasn't "there" when...
My advice is the same as about a year when we talked about your application - you should ride the bike to see what is doing first. The 110f/140r...
This is probably not a big deal, but certainly makes sense considering what else you've found. Hopefully that's the last thing you find messed up!
No, the VF1000F does not have vacuum operation of the petcock. It's fully manual.
Nah, that's not a stupid question. The stock wheels are a size that isn't standard anymore. Because of that manufacturers aren't making modern...
Aren't these bias-ply tires? One of the biggest reasons (if not the biggest reason) to change wheels is to get radial tires. Just changing to...
Exactly. Your wheel should be ok as it was sucessfully installed by the previous owner. If the bearings or center spacer tube were wrong you...
Have you considered machining down a 530 part? That's what I do in these situations. The only difference between a 520 and 530 is the thickness...
Rock on Matt. The Indy GP will be here before you know it, I'm looking forward to some good times.
That's typical for all motorcycle shocks. Getting access to the thing can be a challenge. Most of the time it requires having the side panels...
Sorry man, the stroke is different between the two.
If you are thinking about a 600RR shock, I don't think it will work. The reservoir on those stick out pretty far and would probably cause...
You might want to check the length of the CBR600RR forks. From my experiences, the CBR forks are pretty short and the VFR800 does not have very...
