Here is pic looking through the pan of a VF500f, but it's the same view on the VFR700. [IMG] The countershaft gears (the ones I need to look...
The factory service manual tells you exactly what to check and measure to make sure everything is within tolerance. Access through the pan is...
Reverse "gear"? Your being humorous? My bike has 44k miles on it. Not taken care of by PO. Old nasty fluids, been down on both sides, damaged...
It's not that difficult to check the shifter mechanism. I'd recommend you give it a go. Here's how I did mine. Drain and save the water and oil....
Your thinking of the shift kits that replace the solid detent roller with a ball bearing type and swap the spring with a stronger one. I already...
If anyone is curious, I'll explain what my bike is doing. When I upshift from 1st to 2nd my bike will sometimes (1 out of 5) pop out of second...
Cool, thanks for the confirmation. When I say bevel, I'm talking about a dovetail style bevel that pulls the gears together, not the kind of...
If I'm correct about the dog gears for 2nd gear being "D", then the big one is 33 teeth. [IMG] The smaller one is 29 teeth. [IMG] Here are...
Here is a little pic I whipped up. Let me know if there are any mistakes. [IMG] My bike will pop out of second and back into neutral on rare...
Where does the improvement come from? Is it the stiffer detent spring? Does the stock detent roller have tons of drag in it?
I'd like to know, too. Just what the hell spring did Honda put in these things?
Will the 87-88 CBR1000F "Hurricane" rear rims bolt on? They have larger diameter rotors, but the mounting bolts look the same as the VFR rims,...
Are you asking me? I'd recommend you follow the owners manual. Me personally, I check it with a gauge about once a month, but check it by hand...
Wow, that's good to know. I wish I had seen your post earlier, but it got buried under all this other nonsense. BTW, my bikes oil level was about...
They should be cold. What is wrong with some of you guys? I just don't get the humor here. Is this forum mostly made up of teens?
Cool, my old Virago was not this simple.
A 1/4 of a turn play in the throttle? That's huge. You'll need to pull the left fairing and look at where the throttle and return cable are bolted...
Next you guys will be telling me it's fine to check the oil level once a year cuz it's no big deal.
Thanks for the info. I'll keep it in mind.
Johnny, your right about the front. The fork springs need to be firmer for sure, the 3/4" preload spacers I made for $0 really helped. I would do...
