Is the hydraulic slave cylinder REALLY all that un-reliable? I think I'll be keeping it until someone can provide a good reason!
Oh, believe that all of the gen 1 V-4's have the oiling problems! I'm believing it now! I once thought (from what I had read) that the 500's...
I'm thinking about messing with the jets on mine once I get it back together, and it gets warm enough to ride again. Right now, I'm not sure...
Ya Matt, I'm hangin' on to mine until I can't afford to fix it anymore, or if I can predict it, just before that!
I haven't figured out what has to be done to get them from Cometic! Do you just have to call them and tell them what you have? I'm probablt...
I tend to agree here. I have seen both failures first hand! I'm SO glad I have another engine for parts! The engine on my bike now suffered a...
All the other valve tips look ok.
Great information guys! It sounds like many around here aren't afraid to go anywhere on them! Once I get my valve situation ironed out, I'll...
I wish I had known of this site when I was into my carbs, and needed all that stuff! Jamie is very helpful!
On the manual, I'd say go with the factory Honda manual. I'm looking for one. I have a Clymer's, and it is lacking in some areas. Check ebay....
I only have a little more in my 85 VF500F, and I put quite a few miles on it last season, riding it almost daily to work (only a few miles though)...

Has anyone used the gasket set that you can get from partsnmore.net ? They say they have the most complete set available, it's a 34 piece top...
Nah, I'm pretty sure it's Hondabond, or something similar. I'm an auto technician by trade,so I know a little something about this stuff! ;)...
Well, I got it all apart. The head gasket had been coated with grey sealer, leading me to believe it had been apart before. Not a big deal...
That's exactly what caused my fuel delivery problems last year when I first got the bike running! It was a sintered bronze element, inside an...
I have to agree with you, even if some (most?) of your posts are abrasively honest, I read them, and consider what you have said. I DO see what...
I've been back and forth on the fuel pump. Mine seems to do best with it. I still haven't tried it since getting rid of the filter that I...
Oh, I totally understand what you're thinking, and I am paying attention! I'm just far from the bike being a money pit right now! Once I get to...
No hatin' from me squirrelly! I'd like to get a newer VFR, but this is what I have, and I can fix it cheaper than replacing it, so far. Since I...
