Riding no hands is not what these bikes were designed for and is a foolish risk to take. 4th gens do the same thing. It seems that things were...

It's always best to bleed the master separately at its banjo bolt before bleeding at the slave if the master has been disconnected....
let us know what you find. bent rod is unlikely unless it dropped a valve...........but in that case the engine would lock up.
Sorry, Bunky, but if you had enough good sense to ask about VF500s here before you bought we could have told you to watch for bad motors and how...
[ATTACH] Sparky needs to clean his slow jets with a steel wire (.010") poked clear through; compressed air isn't much good for cleaning...
With double radiators it's especially hard to get air out, so fill as much as possible, then ride for 15-20 minutes, wait for it to cool and top...
