Let us know what you find out. The rule of thumb that I have always heard is "If you think it's the coil, it's probably not the coil." My...
I grantee that's what they did. Dealerships do this all of the time. The owner of my dealership needed front wheel bearings for his Road Star...
I have no clue what an ECS port is either. Since the problem is at mid and high rpm's (assuming this is large throttle openings) then it would...
I do not believe the 84 R and F engines are the same. I love that black frame. You've pretty much sold me on it. When I get to working on...
The 84 tank is more flat on the top and makes a more pronounced bend down at the rear (if that makes sense). If you look closely at the spot...
Many people make the mistake of thinking that since the 86's came with different jets that they should run them in the larger 84-85 carbs. That's...
Yes, you have to measure the chain and decide how many links to cut off. It's not necessarily going to be 108 especially considering that you are...
67 Camaro or 70 Camaro? Most people will say 67. The same thing applies here, the VF1000R will always get more respect even though it's heavier,...
You can tell from the shape of the tank and the frame that it is, in fact, a 1984 model. It takes a trained eye to see the differences, but they...
Don't do that - you need to run the 85 jet sizes. The jets are matched to the carbs, not to the engine. Running the larger jets would make the...
The oil pressure switch port is not necessarily a bad way to go, but you really need to be careful. The main oil gallery modification is what the...
That's funny, so far I don't see much that is different between my VFR700 and the earlier VF series. The overall design is very similar when you...
Go to your local dealer. They are pretty cheap through them, by the time you pay for shipping/handling through an online source you would...
Very often you will find more than one valve in a dropped-valve engine that is showing deterioration of the valve tip. I'd say if none of your...
The jumpered connector sounds like the fuel pump relay. Those relays were known failures and it was common for people to just jump the connector...
Ahhhh... YEAH!
Absoltely, the F2 wheels are not heavier than stock. Anyone who has ever ridden a VF500F before and after the conversion will rave about the...
Ok, let me clear this up. My recommended tire sizes for the VF500F with CBRF2 wheels: Front: 120/60-17 Rear: 150/70-17 Gearing is 16/44...
I think it's prudent to keep in mind the context here. We are talking about a VF500F, not a CBR600RR or other modern sportbike. The VF500F is a...
The stock head gaskets are made of a grey matieral, so that is probably what you are seeing. Something else to be aware of: the head gaskets are...
