Oh, and the deal on the tailpiece would be $110 exchange (for a repairable piece) including shipping CONUS. The part is repaired and...
Sorry, I didn't mean to mis-lead the membership...... The parts pictured are for future projects, not really for sale -- I just happen to have an...
Why don't you just ask?? I have a couple......... [ATTACH]
+1 on the Motion float bowl o-rings -- I've put these in several gen 2 & 3s as a matter of course. Their Viton, so ethanol shouldn't be a concern...
So, after three weeks of sitting, my VF500 refused to engage the starter. Battery good, all handlebar fuses good, all other systems functioning,...
Your plugs look OK, but plugs can only be accurately read (for jetting purposes) after a hi-rpm run and shut-down... or after a few thousand road...

My '90 project was a front end mess of fork oil goo. So, disassembled forks, installed fresh K&L seals, everything went together normally,...
I had a front brake binding on my '90 VFR project, cleaned, inspected, lubed, reinstalled... the pads still bind. So, I removed the really sticky...
Bowl gaskets are generic o-rings (use Viton), 3" x 1/16" or 75mm x 2mm or simply -041. motionindustries.com [ATTACH] BTW, if you use the...
I don't know about the swelling whatcha-ma-callits, but you may have quite a wait there if you're referring to the bowl gaskets. There's a generic...
Well, I get mine at a local motorcycle aftermarket shop, and he gets them from the Parts Unlimited catalog, as I recall. For more money and time,...
