  1. Mystery part in my oil pan 20 May 2012 12:15 it will jump out of gear while unloading power if the little spring on the long arm puching/pulling the shift drum is tired/broken... clutch cover off to inspect. clutch basket off to replace.
  2. After market fuel pump? 4 May 2012 23:03 a mitsubishi fuel pump from 1990s and early 2000s out of pretty much any japanese carbed bike will work just fine r6, r1, yzf, fzr, cbr, xl1000, zx6, zx9, gsxr you name it....
  3. Completely dead battery ? 1 Apr 2012 21:01 look for melted wires and connectors first
  4. Completely dead battery ? 1 Apr 2012 19:59 short circuit on main voltage probably happened to me, starter switch positive terminal grounded itself to the frame, flat battery within hours, such state usually damaged acid batteries, I was lucky having an odyssey…

  7. '84 VF750 Interceptor HELP 7 Feb 2012 23:25 use a rubber mallet to unblock sticking carb floats
  8. 1KR engine into 1KF frame 30 Jan 2012 10:00 I think Honda even said not to take the plenum off unless you wanted to replace o-rings. Nevertheless, pushing carbs loose will easily damage plastic connections and loosen up the o-rings, then you end up with a fuel…
  9. 1KR engine into 1KF frame 26 Jan 2012 09:44 if you mean putting carbs back onto the engine then you can: - heatup carb rubbers with a heatgun or boiling water to make them soft again - oil them to aid assembly - front ones go in first then rear ones at the angle,…
  10. 1KR engine into 1KF frame 18 Jan 2012 00:29 regarding the extra mounts on wider head engines - I've replaced my 1000FE engine with line bored FF item, wasn't bothered about extra mounts, been riding it for about 500miles now and can see no difference to frame…

  14. This is WACKED! 12 May 2011 20:40 temp gauge goes up though the roof when the earth is not connected. two green wires in one clip, somewhere under the seat, as on my vf1000fe...
  15. vf1000f project 11 May 2011 13:30 rearsets are chinese made, bolts made of cheese, fairly nicely cnc'd, but lack finesse http://cgi.ebay.co.u...=item563e10a583 got them free of charge, so won't complain... exhaust is going to be twin can, one on each…
  16. vf1000f project 5 May 2011 16:57 back from the dead :)) sorry for not updating the thread with any info, but at times progress has been slow, really slow, and i didn't want to add any melanholia to this great forum. anyway, over last two weeks i got a…
  17. Can't believe I rode my bike! 6 Nov 2010 00:15 best feeling in the world isn't it? :) i think i have another 6 months to finish my 1000f.
  18. vf1000f project 23 Oct 2010 23:10 oooh, i love those wheels :) took some practise to powdercoat big items nicely, but was well worth it. have a look!!! btw. i changed the rear wheel over from fzr1000 item to a thunderace one. same dimmensions, but the…

  21. Wider front tire than stock, good idea or bad? 5 Sep 2010 18:11 narrower tyre will turn in quicker, higher profile will slow the turn in down, but will give more grip while leant over.

  29. vf1000f project 21 Apr 2010 00:16 damn, i'm so happy this engine fired up :) anyway, time for some more mods. next stop - swingarm. as the front end came off an fzr1000 exup, the rear end will have to match, and it comes off the same model. now this is…
  30. vf1000f project 19 Apr 2010 16:30 IT LIVES!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! woohooo!!!!!!! :D
  31. vf1000f project 16 Apr 2010 12:43 got another problem, quite a worrying one tbh. when i attempt to start the engine, the starter motor hasn't got enough power to crank it up. firstly i thought - starter motor - so that's been replaced with a vfr750 one,…
  32. vf1000f project 4 Apr 2010 23:16 hi guys. been a while. sorry. ok, so after an attempt to fit 929 forks and yokes, and some wise words from kel, i saw what was the matter with them. no go. so, i took it all off, and slotted an fzr1000 exup ru front end…
  33. vf1000f project 24 Feb 2010 00:46 managed to pop the engine back where it belongs. still waiting for those 929 forks being sent from canada. it's been 7 weeks already :/ next on the list - starter motor and carbs overhaul... Attached thumbnail(s)…
  34. vf1000f project 17 Feb 2010 18:25 little bit of a progress. frame is now powdercoated satin black and ready to take the engine back in. should be in one piece by the weekend. 600rr arm, as you can see laying behind the frame, is much better compared to…
  35. vf1000f project 8 Feb 2010 17:53 now you are gonna laugh :D hence it'd only be a cosmetic mod, why not something like a hugger off a cbr600fl? i know i know, big talk so far and i'm about to settle on a silly hugger...but they look good and make an…
  36. vf1000f project 8 Feb 2010 17:05 narrower arm = narrower frame = narrower engine... vtr sp1? i've asked some brakers selling those for dimensions, should find out soon... 268mm for the sp1 item, 16mm on each side, much better that 27mm as on 929.…
  37. vf1000f project 8 Feb 2010 16:22 ok. first dummy test done. 929 swingarm. here are some dimmensions: swingarm pivot internal: vf 145mm , cbr 190mm swingarm pivot external: vf 235mm, cbr 290mm rear wheel axle internal: vf 255mm, cbr 255mm (at least one…
  38. vf1000f project 2 Feb 2010 13:08 yeah. i was actually thinking i could use a single pivot bolt to fix the arm in the frame, take the left side bracket off, but forgot about the exhaust pipes, damn! single axle is a no go for me then. on the other hand…
  39. vf1000f project 2 Feb 2010 00:14 i think it'd look really nice. i don't want to keep the bike original. custom is the word. those arms are quite affrodable. what you reckon, is it worth a try? Attached thumbnail(s) [image: Attached Image:…

  42. vf1000f project 27 Jan 2010 01:25 why is it always when you start a project, the weather suddenly goes nice and sunny? :pissed: anyway, last two weeks have been quite bizzy at the garage, so progress has been slow... ish. so far i've managed to strip…

  48. vf1000f project 16 Jan 2010 17:43 in the process i'm thinking about the paintjob. i want to know what you think. two classic variations and a modern black&white. so, jury's out on these :) Attached thumbnail(s) [image: Attached Image: dsc03218y423.jpg]…
  49. vf1000f project 16 Jan 2010 05:25 just a quick one. i assume i won't be able to find a second hand starter for such an old lady. would one off something else fit?
  50. vf1000f project 14 Jan 2010 22:21 thanks for a warm welcome. this is a first honda i'm taking completely apart and to be honest i have to admit honda in the 80s were so much more in front of the competition in regards of design and future thinking. i…
