If anyone is unsure about how Oil reacts in water, take a swim in the gulf. :frown: Well I think almost any problem can be solved by throwing...
You can? When I was researching parts for my 86 VF500 I couldn't find parts to replace all the flawed VF500 parts. There are places that...
The problem with these bikes is the fact that you cant fix all of the problems. The valve springs are an issue and you'll need to make custom...
Maybe if it was a different bike, but for a 1st gen there are too many unknowns. You can pull the engine apart and fix everything....spend lots...
I've helped a bit. Though I'm beginning to feel the need to piss on 2nd Gens too. .....but that could be the beer and watermelon :confused:
Looks nice but for that price it better be immaculate with low mileage

Count the number of teeth on the rear sprocket. Also....how much do you weight? A general consensus is poor mileage and you should take a look...
Nope. It's currently in a family members garage....stuck in a corner. when I need to work on it I'll call ahead and go there with (hopefully a...
^^^ Very good point.
I gave BillyC the money already....I'm just waiting for him to get the Valve Float Assys in stock. Bike would start when I tried to ride it to...
The main reason I want to stay with the VFR line of bikes is the Gear Driven Cams and lack of valve clearance checks. I'd LOVE a hawk 650....but...
