Last 50 of 109- White love... Yes. There is enough clearance to keep the exhaust in place.
- White love... End result.. [image: 24.JPG] [image: 26.JPG]
- White love... And.. I want it high uo and following the lines of the rear cowl.. That\s c;lose enough... [image: 23.JPG]
- White love... Well today was rainy.. So lets spend the day to get the exhaust update to a high mount.. That needs some tubing from the bottom end upwards.. [image: 22.JPG]
- White love... If it doesn't rain tomorrow, it will be playtime.. [image: IMG_7184.jpg]
- 2,000 RPM idle driving me nuts! Not sure on VFR1200 series, I never did any work on them. But you did say you swapped the throttle bodies. Correct me if I'm wrong, but the VFR1200 has a TPS sensor.. TPS- thottle position sensor. Has that been set…
- White love... Nearly there. [image: 20.jpg]
- White love... That bad looking came from whitey.. The good looking engine came with the donor.. Don't get me wrong.. My 1000R mill looked worse, and in fact was seized after two years neglecting/non running.. But it came out nice…
- White love... RC36B, 2/10/2020 at 2:07 PM And different switch left side (no choke) She got the manual back again.. The throttle housing on the 2000 model looked like a nightmare to revive. Everything is corroded. Also it…
- White love... Today she breathed air for the first time since the rebuild.. Next.. take care of all the tupperware..
- White love... 22 minutes ago, RC36B "Ours not to reason why..." I guess the wires moves more controlled/predictable with this setup. Nice project... 🙂 Thanks, The reason why I got puzzled, was that the 2000 onward model has a…
- White love... 7 minutes ago, RC36B Same "sewing" as with the VFR 750 🙂 wire looms goes behind - see illustration from the shop manual Thanks,RC36B my manual wasn't as clear as your pic.. I did install them behind the legs, so I am…

- White love... The trick with the lcd swap withen the cluster did the trick. Allthough the donor bikes cluster was trashed, the lcd was still in good condition. Swapped the LCD's out en presto, the mileage went down from 106,000…
- White love... Rear wheel finished and installed.. Subframe got a new coat of black. Routed the wirring loom throughout the tail and installed all the electrics.. One question, does the wiring loom on the handlebar controls pass in…

- White love... Display is working again.. [image: 5.jpg]
- 4th gen carb: turns of screw? First test I would do is turn each pilot jet on each carb in seperately (Engine running @ idle) gently untill it reaches fully in.. Don't force it, because the small tips tend to break in the carb housing if you tighten…
- White love... The first part of rebuilding.. Take the bika apart into pieces.. So far so good.. [image: In pieces.JPG]
- VF500F2 Aka MBD Incubation Period At Least 52 Years Say that again… I was praying backwards a few times, but finaly I got them. And if the tools are not at hand when needed, you have to improvise and make them yourself.. Just for those synch screws--> I want that factory…
- Fuel tank alternatives? 84 VFR 500 Biggest "thing" between 84/85 model and the 86 is the oilpump and oilsump. On the '86 the oilpump is bigger and the sump holds a little more oil..
- VF500F2 Aka MBD Incubation Period At Least 52 Years When you have a GPS telling you the right travelling speed.. When you have a phone installed on your BT headset (with flitsmeister) giving you audible information when you are going to fast.. ? ? Why on earth do you…

- I.D. This Reg/Rectifier? Google says on AYA6007 is made for a Honda CX500
- What can you tell me about my VF500? For the location of the carbcode, here is an example: [image: carb ID.JPG]
- What can you tell me about my VF500? 26 minutes ago, Captain 80s This is a "track"?!!!! I can't believe they allow people to stand right at the end of the straights. Don't get me wrong, I would run it in an instant, but HOLY SHIT! Seems really un safe.…
- What can you tell me about my VF500? The slow jet is standard #38.. I wouldn't go beyond #40 on the slow jet. On most of the VF series the slow jet is #38. On my VF750 street bike the slowjet is #40. On the VF750 endurance racer, the slow jet is #42. I…
- What can you tell me about my VF500? As above, drop the jet sizes... We are running 112 with open box, open baffles... For street use, I would not recommend that.. But it is an indication that at least you have to resize the 117's below the 112's.. (98/95…
- Vf1000r needles It depends on what model year VF1000R you have. 1984 has #38 slow and 145 mains.. 1985 has #38 slow and 125 mains.. California versions #38 slow and #120 (Back) / # 122 (Front) mains.. Needle info, I need the carb code…
- VF500F2 Aka MBD Incubation Period At Least 52 Years Nice picture... Allthough... Did you choose that location on purpose? In life many of these bikes end up in a similar shredder as in the background of that picture...
- Endurance Racing VF500 build. From my point of view that is a very wise decission.. I have been there more than once.. On the Suzuki endurance racer we had two races where we didn't even finish the qualifying sessions.. Race one was justified to…
- Endurance Racing VF500 build. I could send you the Original needles for a non-cali version... Also bump the slow jets from #38 to #40.. Then start to play with the mains... IIRC we are running #110 on the mains (No aorbox cover, just a flame guard…
- What can you tell me about my VF500? As far as i know, you can´t get the rear head removed with the engine in the frame.. Allthough the 500 does have bolts on the outer corners of the cilinderhead, instead of studs like the VF750 and VF1000, the timing…
- VF500F2 Aka MBD Incubation Period At Least 52 Years About yhe age to turn the 2 hours ago, Dutchy Steady..... She is 53 :-) About the age to turn the SP2 into a ST1300 or a GL and keep the VF for the twisty shortcuts in life... :wink:
- VF500F2 Aka MBD Incubation Period At Least 52 Years Dude, with that trunk, the way you have it set up.... It looks like you don't want to have that trunk to be part of your bike.. We need to talk dude.. Seems like the Baltic experience has done some brain damage...
- VF1000R motor into a VF1000F? Nope, the head gaskets are identical for all model years VF1000F, VF1000R and VF1000FF/F2 engines.. What differs is the valve cover gasket. The 1984 VF1000F has a straight valve cover gasket where the 1985/86/87…
- VF500 clutch master cylinder rebuild I gues you can, allthough getting that circlip that holds the piston and spring in place can be tricky... Whilst you have to bleed the whole system again, and the risk of having brake fluid drip on precious painted…
- Carb walkthrough vs repair manual. 83 750 On the VF series, from a seated position: Front left is #2 Front right is #4 Rear left is #1 Rear right is #3 On the carbrail #4 is the one carb where the throttle cables attaches to. That #4 is the carb where all the…
- VF500F2 Aka MBD Incubation Period At Least 52 Years Dutchy, 19-3-2017 at 10:18 PM Yeah, but will do that by hand, a special pair of pliars for 4 sets of 2 bolts a bit too expensive... I have two of those, and SS wire....
- Endurance Racing VF500 build. When you're done.. Every dickhead whants to own it... :wink:

- VF500F2 Aka MBD Incubation Period At Least 52 Years Now put on some safetywire on those bolts to get the real performance look.. :wink:
- What can you tell me about my VF500? Option one: Get a used valve and lap the surface to match the valve seat.. Option two: get a good used replacement on the cilinder head.. I do have used valves... I do have complete heads with lapped valves and new…
- 86 vs 87 vfr700 wiring harness Wiring harnes is different. '86 models have an extra pick-up on the cam that is wired seperately to the CDI. Also there is a seperate Yellow/Green wire coming from the CDI box. This wire is responsible for the tach…

- Endurance Racing VF500 build. Before opening this topic, I prepare myself...Just want you to know that I've laid out a stack of paper towels over the key board to keep it from shorting out from all the drool. Wuv it.
- VF500F2 Aka MBD Incubation Period At Least 52 Years JMHO, the Laser set does have a better look then the BOS cannisters. However... These BOS cans look good... I would have changed the link pipes so the cannisters would follow the line of the of the rear cowl... They are…
- 1984 Vf500 purchase advice 1 hour ago, Blake Dutchy, what a fool cares for? Not sure what you mean. Blake Almost.. Directly: What a fool gives for it.. So what a fool is willing to pay.. Two years ago we bought three VF's.. One was in excellent…
