Hi all, Matt from UK here, I have recently aquired a VF500 FII for restoration, See you around :love_heart:
Hi Matt and welcome to the MadHouse:welcome: I see from your other post you are starting off a restoration with a seized motor - so good luck with that. There are several youTube videos which might be worth reviewing before you jump in - as lots of others have faced the same challenge. I suspect if the bike has just been resting for too long then you might be able to save it by simply pulling the plugs and applying loads of thin oil into the bores - repeat over several days and then with bike on main stand stick it in gear and try rotating rear tyre back and forth to hopefully rock the engine enough to get the motor freed off. If that fails - then it probably needs a full dismantle - so fitting replacement engine is probably the way to go. You may want to update your forum profile (forum actions/Edit profile) to include the specs of your bike and an approximate location city/county is fine - so they appear automatically alongside your posts and if you need help with your project you may find someone living nearby is able to offer advise - especially if you have a well stocked beer fridge . Take care and post up plenty of photos (click the "insert image" icon follow prompts to select and upload photos from your computer). SkiMad
