  1. rusty crusty 1999 revival 18 Jul 2025 00:10 2 hours ago, bmart Nice kitchen. The first thing that came to my mind was ... My first thought was, you MUST be single. Anybody have a wife that would allow bike repairs in the kitchen?
  2. VFR Top 10 Again 2 Apr 2024 19:17 interceptor69, 3/30/2024 at 7:46 PM Actually #1. https://www.hotcars.com/valuable-vintage-japanese-sport-bikes/ Intersting, 5 of the 10 bikes are Honda!
  3. Need pointers for cleaning SMC (secondary master cylinder) 15 Sep 2022 15:26 Well, one step forward followed by brick wall. I was able to remove the clevis, boot and snap ring. I think I have now found the root issue. The piston is stuck in the compressed position, and will not budge. I tried…
  4. Need pointers for cleaning SMC (secondary master cylinder) 15 Sep 2022 01:25 Thanks Terry. I did notice the nut below the clevis, and put a wrench on it and attempted to turn it while holding the clevis. It didn't want to turn and I was unsure if I should force it until I was certain that was…
  5. Need pointers for cleaning SMC (secondary master cylinder) 14 Sep 2022 14:05 Just reread your comment, I was thinking you referred to the piston in the master cylinder. I have removed and cleaned all of the pistons in the rear brake, and installed all new seals. All pistons can be moved with…
  6. Need pointers for cleaning SMC (secondary master cylinder) 14 Sep 2022 14:03 I have no idea what condition the piston is actually in, since I can't figure out how to remove it. When installed on the bike, I can move the SMC as it would normally move under braking. It did not seem to actually…
  7. Need pointers for cleaning SMC (secondary master cylinder) 14 Sep 2022 13:28 I am trying to resolve the problem of rear brake dragging. I have narrowed the problem down to the middle piston not releasing. This would seem to point to a problem with the SMC. I just reviewed an old post titled…
  8. Bad Week For The Vfr 1 Jun 2015 23:37 Thanks for all the the encouragement, I need it. Rode the bike to work today. I discovered one of the brake disc is bent. Must have been when it fell in the trailer. I hope I reach the end of damage discovery soon. This…
  9. Bad Week For The Vfr 1 Jun 2015 10:05 I finally reached a point where I could bear to look at the bike. Been on eBay. The Big Brown Truck has made a few trips. Found an upper fairing with some minor damage, front fender that looks near new. Spent yesterday…
  10. Bad Week For The Vfr 1 Jun 2015 01:26 After years of wanting a fifth gen VFR, I finally got one early this year. Couple weeks ago, I took it to Boone NC for a week vacation. Finally, a chance to ride some good roads! This was a gathering for owners of…
  11. 1995 Fuel Leak 5 Oct 2014 02:43 My 84 VF1000F is parked right now, fuel pump is one of my issues. I had noticed a puddle under the bike, and thought it was a carb leaking. Figured it was float valve. I just turned off fuel when parked. Six months of…
  12. Resurrecting a 1986 Honda VF500f 7 Aug 2011 00:00 [image: View Post]1986vf500, on 06 August 2011 - 03:05 PM, said: Hi All, I was given a 1986 Honda VF500F as a birthday present a few weeks ago. This is going to be my first bike, I am really excited about that. The…
