Starting a thread for my VF. Will mostly be focused initially on doing the “once through” for a new-to-me-and-I’m-atleast-the-third-owner bike....
Here's what I've got: https://drive.google.com/file/d/1h3lz7ggrOcFs6qH7lnY3OkBU0wlo7zco/view?usp=sharing Took me a few days to find a CD drive...
Likely what it is, but I believe the microfiches show quantities and descriptions adjacent to the exploded diagram, at least they do for the 350...
Bah. That’s a bummer. They do exist - I know Honda publishes them, but I suppose nobody has scanned them. There’s one available:...
Anyone have the parts catalog for a 1985 VF700F? Looking through this thread and the links didn't turn one up. Nabbed the service manual, but no...
Aaaaand brought the ‘85 home yesterday. Some cosmetics that need to be taken care of, a good clean, and go over all the hoses, fluids, etc… I’m...
I got in touch with the seller - the carbs literally aren’t there. Owner took them off to “to get them cleaned” and his estate (all the bikes were...
I do appreciate the advice. I’m particular on what I like - not looking for a 90s bike right now, but understood that a later 80s model is going...

Seeing this one on Friday. Likely the last one that will show up before winter comes and nobody's thinking of selling bikes anymore. 1985 VF700F...

Running off Captain 80s above. If it’s running well at 16,000 miles I’m assuming the cam issue didn’t touch this bike. And if it did? It gets...
Found another contender... and picked up a second slip in the garage I rent that needs to get filled :D I'll be in PA for Thanksgiving, might...
Aaaaand it sold. Womp Womp. I’ll be on the lookout for more VF700Fs, even if they’re mis-labeled =) Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
Great. If it hasn’t sold by next weekend and it rides fine I’ll make it happen next weekend. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
Current lead......
I learned my lesson from the 350 I have now. Ran a compression test and it came in fine, 150/155. Rode it around the neighborhood for 5 minutes....
My current bike is from the 70s, and I originally “learned” on dirt bikes from the 80s. Much different dirt vs road bike however. Ive ridden...
