Hey all! Took my vf500f for a long ride this weekend, and while I loved it in many ways, I had a few key problems: - I'm 6' and my legs were...
Perfect!
Hey All, This is probably a really stupid question, but my front wheel is not straight on my VF500F. The handlebar mount (the grey box on top of...
Cool. SO, another update! I put a new gauge assembly on (my old tach was shot), and the new temp gauge is showing it hanging out more in the...
Update on the running too hot - the fan only kicks on when the temp sensor is about 3/4 of the way up. Does that mean my thermostat is shot?
I did find that for some of them you can see 'em after logging in. Photobucket ones are buggered.
Hey All, My Tach on the VF500F is not working, and I'm honestly at a loss to why. I'm getting a solid connection from all 3 wires (br/bk to br/bk...
My tach is shot, so I'm trying to fix that up right now. The carbs still need some love (rebuilt and the thing runs like a dream, but it has been...
Sweeeet!!! That fixed it! Reinstalling Tapatalk now. Seat has been swapped for a red one, so now I have a spare brand new black seat just hanging...

Roger. My tach is shot as well. I'll probably start a new post about it, but in case you have ideas. All 3 wires leading to it are getting good...
:) I will totally accept that. Was mainly hoping for some pain spots of the carbs to check or possibly other things to make sure were okay. I...
Turns out that the pilot jets were clogged! I could see through them, so I assumed they had been cleaned enough, but it turns out they needed more...
Heard tell that it could be Spark Ignitor related. Thoughts?
Nobody has any ideas? I feel like this can't be that obscure a problem!
Bump!
Rather than firing once and then absolutely not firing, I mean
I'll check again, but 99% sure. Wouldn't that cause the opposite problem, though? If fuel wasn't getting to the engine wouldn't it never fire?
Turns out the plugs were shot and the kill switch corroded. Cleaned the carbs anyway and they were already pristine. Note to everybody:...
Hey all, Just got a VF500 and I'm having the oddest issue. The bike turns over fine, gets a solid spark (red not blue, but solid all the same)...
