Coolant in Oil, feeling pretty sick right now

Affordable,,,well that is a bit of a different story and why I can understand the recommendations to make a jump to a more modern bike - but - you can fix 'em if one is up to the challenge.

 

Water has a specific gravity close to 1.0 and oil is around 0.9. Water is more dense than oil.

 

If anyone is unsure about how Oil reacts in water, take a swim in the gulf. :frown:

Well I think almost any problem can be solved by throwing money at it.

I did really like the feel of my VF500, and if there were readily available Valve train parts that were affordable I may have gone that route. But in the end it would have been a bad idea I think. The engines aren't known to last very long.

 

Slow, I totally understand this and I am glad that the sale of your VF500F worked out and that you are enjoying your VFR750.

This said, I think most owners who have vintage bikes understand the pros and cons of owning one.

I don't think of custom modifications as throwing money at something simply to solve what many here consider a Promethean task.

More, I'm interested in turning a wrench and building something custom while making a few friends along the way. I have a lot of fun thinking about, working on and riding bikes.

Working on a 25 year old bike isn't for everybody but I believe the satisfaction and enjoyment that this brings is close to the hearts of many a First Gen owner.

 

I did shake it hard. Just became salad dressing is all. LOL

But We cannot shake an motorcycle that hard now can we?

 

Honda CBR 600 valve guides same as VF500. Available now. EBAY
Intake AND exhaust valves for sale on EBAY now for $19-25 bucks.
Valve guide seals available too.

 

This thread just made me sick to my stomach thanks hwell:

 

........which is why it would have been smart to research VF 500s on our site b4 you bought !

But I'm hoping you'll be LUCKY !
