My local dealer was glad to sell me a new front tire (tube type you know, wire wheels) for my ACE only to NOT have a tube for it!! They even...
The starter solonoid for my '83 is $96.00!! I might be able to find it cheaper if I had to order one. Mine acted up and I cleaned the connections...
Are you a member of HRCA? If not, you might look in to it. I'd give a call to Honda customer service. The dealer here in TN. would rather work on...
As I understand the cam issue, the 1st gen doesn't get enough oil to the top end at idle. When sitting in heavy traffic, idleing, and the engine...
I think it's the magic cloud dust. That'll do it every time.:pound:
That picture looks very similar to something I'd see on the Blue Ridge Parkway, here in the east. I've seen 57+ mpg on my ACE, but never on my...
I wouldn't worry about the mileage being wrong. The VFR engine is good for many tens of thousands of miles, however, the if the seller marked...
Sell it?:eek: What...are you kidding? I'd fix it in a second!! Not only will you get to keep that coolest of all VFRs, it'll always be the bike...
It should have a special lock washer with tabs bent over to prevent the nut from backing off.
Harleys are born to be modified, customized and redesigned, but a Honda is born to ride, ride then ride some more. Paint it, clean it up then ride...
The front forks and wheels are worth more than $400.00!:biggrin:
$400.00 ??? Surely you left off a 0. A bike that nice for $400.00, I want one!!:cool:
Given the size of Honda, I'm surprised they even fool with the VFR at all. 1000 bikes is nothing to a company the size of Honda. Don't get me...
I agree not to rev too high when cold (that 11K thing...joke:biggrin1: ). As far as choke goes, I think different bikes react differently to choke...
The fuel filter on my '83 is in a hole for sure. Not much room to work around it. The fuel lines, after 20+ years can be pretty hard to remove...
If the light DOESN'T light with the key off, you don't have a drain. It will always light with the key on. Will the bike start and run if you...
I try do keep the idleing to a mininum on the '83. The 1st gens don't get very much oil to the topend @ idle. I give it full choke for less than...
Me too. I do just about the same thing. My '07 is pretty much ready to go after a minute or two. My old 83 likes just a little choke for a...
Are you hooking one end of the testlight to the end of the ground wire (heavy wire normally hooked to the battery) and the other end to the gnd...
This sounds right to me, except, hold 11K until the temp shows about 210F. That should have it warmed up pretty good.:rolleyes:
