Cables on the 500 really need to be done with the carbs out of the boots and tilted to one side. You are spending way more time than just popping...
Pretty sure the Water Pump housing cover has a drain bolt. Look for the 8mm head lower bolt with a washer (copper, but prob painted black), or a...
Should be the same. Yo can also go to the General section and they usually list common torque values for bolt sizes (6mm?).
At least it was a Stanley bracket. What the actual fuck?
Here's a post I made that seems pretty relative. https://forum.vf1000.com/t/fuel-pump-and-starter-more-options/3532
I say this to my friend all the time when he's working on his bike. He's a notorious over tightener. "How tight?" "Tighten it until it just...
I don't even care on this application. I tighten it to where it feels right. I know I am putting ample pressure on the bearings and spacers to...

[ATTACH] [ATTACH] [ATTACH] Modded bracket looks decent. Not awesome. But I pretty much knew what it would look like because of the casting...
When I was working on a friend's 2003, we were trying to track down a no start issue. The Fuel Cut relay and the High Beam Relay are the exact...
I need to get down my VF750F parts box and grab an extra stock seat latch lock. I think I have an idea that will provide the cowl a latch and...
Hell yes. Congrats.
I typically don't fuck around with (cheap) aftermarket shit levers. I try and find NOS or used Honda. Bikemaster and Emgo seem to make decent...
This side was also not easy. Decided to maintain the parabolic curve and keep some of the ribbing for strength, since it is a center stand...
[ATTACH] If the Staintune didn't have that extra mount I wouldn't have even bothered. But I'm not having an empty mount hanging out in space,...
