Actually, 49mpg is still not very good. Something around 55mpg should be considered normal. Keep in mind that I'm basing that not on just one...
Surging is almost always a problem with the carbs. That's where Matt's problems were coming from too I'm pretty sure. In fact, one of my 500's...
GoForARide - You have a PM!!!
The VF500F's already have dual valve springs on each valve. There isn't anything that I know of that would fit. Valve springs are a very touchy...
DKC - I've been working really closely with Matt on his bike. I can tell you that the cams are not his problem. When the rockers go bad it's...
Just messing with you bro! You do, however, own the record for longest replies.
Slowbird - didn't you mention that you rode the bike a couple of times with the caliper bracket crooked? It was pushed off in exactly the same...
Yes. The design was pushing the limits for it's time. Think about the revs that little engine was turning - the valve springs just aren't...
Once again, making us look bad with the long responses DKC! I've found the clutch side to be way easier than the brakes. Once you start to get...
Keep in mind that this service bulletin pertains to the valve spring / valve float issue and not the oiling system. The rocker arm wear is not...
Yeah, just flushing with clean fluid doesn't always do it. Plus you can push crap down into the calipers that way too. I'd pull the piston out...
Hey Matt - Try keeping all of the parts under the hood from now on, ok?
That doesn't sound right at all. Matt, what I would really like is for you to send me all of the parts for the wheel kit so that I can check them...
Yes, this is totally normal and all VF500's have that gap. You aren't the first to notice it and be concerned, but it's just fine.
Rebuilding the master cylinders is just fine. In fact, just a simple cleaning and new fluid might be all you need. I'd start with that and see...
Wow, you can't beat a deal like that. Based on Eric Buell's comments on the video, all new units that are not yet sold will still be backed by...
DKC - I must say that you write the longest responses on this forum. You should stop it, you are making the rest of us look bad!
Mice are rodents just like some other animals I could mention........ :smile:
The difference in ride height between the stock VF500 tire and the F2 160/17 tire is about 12-15mm. Normally when I make shocks for this...
The GP suspension valves work very well indeed. I'm not surprised that you like your setup! Correct springs and revalving the forks, even with...
