So got it back together and just completed a 100 mile round trip of varied roads. Front end is much improved, especially under braking. As I...
Indeed captain. Even the YSS guy at Firefox Racing said it was ok….and should work! Thanks Terry, Ill filling oil based on height rather than...
I have removed the TRAC valve shims and drilled the 4 x 8mm holes in each damper rod. Thats opening up the non TRAC rods 4 holes from 7mm to 8mm,...
I now have the PD290 valves, and they sit on top of the 500 damper rods in the same way the pic provided of your CB1 Captain. I bought the YSS...
The PD290 would certainly seem to be the better fit for the fork tube. The 21mm damper rod shoulder is a bit loose as the rods internal diameter...
Captain, missed your point on the fitment. If the YSS ones were the same (flush with the outer edge of the rod) the spring to emulator problem...
Fork Emulators PD238. The Racetech install guide covers the TRAC damper rod difference but the ones they show in the pics are not VF500 versions....
I bought a pair of these recently and would like to know if anyone has successfully installed them. When I offered them up to the damper rods I...
I noticed 16020MF2641 was available on David Silver Spares (UK) at £75 + VAT which took it to approx £100. It is available elsewhere at around...
Thanks. Ill check the jetting. It'll be a while before this one gets fired though.
I agree on that. On another point on these carbs is the crazy air vent. That vent into the plenum. When I fuel tested, no.2 and 3 carb shut offs...
Not pilot screw side, and blow down test didn’t yield anything. I have since pulled my 30mm carbs of a later F2 and its the same! So none the...
I recently acquired an early 84 VF500F2 in bits with a blown head gasket and knackered inlet cams. Its been disassembled for 20 years! After...
Thanks. I can only get the colour as a base coat only. Satin was my guess but good to have another opinion.
I have bought an early VF500F2 (red/white) that has been in boxes for the last 15 years! It has a blown front head gasket. I have decided to do a...
I took a look at this one today. The photos don't show up the faults. Its def a 15k miles original bike. Paper work back to 1990 was good, and...
I doubt a lack of vacuum cutoff would impede fuel delivery. My guess would be either float heights or clogged jets/airways. To what degree was...
Geeat thanks all.
Hi, I am overhauling my '86 VF500F2 forks. The Red paint on the lower legs is a bit rough and appears to be a satin finish, is this correct or...
Thanks. I got a parts manual from a guy in New Zealand that was supposed cover '84-'88 which is full of confusing info on the carbs. I suspect...
