Everything looks great. Very nice. 120 was the correct choice. What's that black area near the disk mount on the rear wheel?
The K&N might help a bit, but I still think #40 is where you need to be. Throw the K&N in and turn the screws in and see if things at least get...
Welcome Tony. Feel free to start a thread in "Mechanics Garage" or maybe better in the "1st Generation" forum. You'll be welcome there since...
In my opinion 42 is too large for an unmodifed 500. You can try and run the screw in a bit, but a 40 is the sweet spot. Get yourself some...
Remember you don't check float height with the carbs completely upside down. The weight of the float will depress the little spring loaded button...
I know I can just not click and not read. Same way everybody else can just not respond and let this thread fade away. Reminds me of that...
If the miles were the same, I'd take the 99 over the 01. Not catalytic converter and a normal fast idle lever ("choke"). But on a VFR of that...
Oh yeah... I remember you talking about this stuff now. Gonna have to try and source some for those housings I want to keep stock. I've found...
If you're not worried about being original, the best thing to do is adapt some newer switch assemblies that you can find used in good shape. Mid...
Yeah I agree. Not trying to poo-poo the party here.
Agreed. Pretty crappy around here too. Not everything is a Kubota Power Take Off bracket. I don't know why I said "surprised". I'm anything...
Yeah, your NS panels looked superb. His lifted BAD in multiple areas. The paint job is toast. I didn't help the paint was pretty fresh.
Nice. Started out as a nightmare. My buddy's newly painted VFR tank lifted the paint from bad seams. He was gutted. I lent him a tank to use...
I'm surprised they didn't mask the disc mount faces. And the sprocket face.
No. "there is a very loud screeching/whining noise" It sounds like you have a problem that's more than the very occasional slip or whir. You...
Symptom when cold is very common. First item, yes, but not a 100% guarantee fix. Sometimes the second item is cracked.
That sounds like it could be your starter clutch. It is a one way gear that can slip when it is worn. Sometimes the casing can crack and cause...
Correct OEM paint? 83 and 84 have different colors. Or just a solid piece, no cracks?
If we are talking about the carbs, the 84/85 have the fuel inlet into the left rear carb on the side (originally with a fuel pump). 86, the fuel...
Wow. Awesome. Im getting ready to go thru my 86 that needs the carbs gone thru (all original except for Honda float bowl gaskets in 1993). I...
