  1. Vf500f Pictures and Painting 20 Mar 2012 03:09 In terms of a new shock. What am I looking for? I would like to get one sometime in the future. Also, is it doable for someone who does not have a metal shop to do a front and rear wheel swap for the f2 conversion?…
  2. V4 Carb Sync 20 Mar 2012 01:38 Sparrow75 Eamann, I suspect your manometer is not leaking air...that is if the fluid in two of the four lines go up while the other two go down by the same amount. If it is leaking at the bleeder screw in the cylinder…
  3. V4 Carb Sync 19 Mar 2012 17:56 Well, as a college student, every penny saved helps. And in reality, it only took me about 15 minutes to put the whole contraption together, so if it does work correctly, it's definitely worth it. The only reason it…
  4. V4 Carb Sync 19 Mar 2012 02:18 The only issue with that is that the oil seems like it is going to get sucked into the engine.
  5. V4 Carb Sync 19 Mar 2012 01:26 How much should I adjust them with the engine off?

  7. V4 Carb Sync 13 Mar 2012 06:13 Ok. I will give you pictures tomorrow. I found the nipples on a website and have ordered them already You might be a bit confused because the '86 carbs are different than the '84-'85 versions. The vacuum ports are not…
  8. Vf500f Pictures and Painting 9 Mar 2012 21:24 Yes I was looking into that the other day. Probably a better investment to start. Also, I need to strip the cans and repaint them. Should I just use a wire brush with a drill on the can?
  9. Vf500f Pictures and Painting 9 Mar 2012 19:44 What kind of money are we talking for parts making a custom exhaust? I can get a welder and everything but I don't know what we're looking at price wise for pipe for the bike. Is that a possibility or is that just a…
  10. Vf500f Pictures and Painting 9 Mar 2012 19:02 Alright guys, So thanks to all the help from you here on the forum (especially invisiblecities, a walking encyclopedia of information about interceptors), I was able to get the bike up and running strong. Total cost of…
  11. V4 Carb Sync 8 Mar 2012 21:30 Yes but there is only one vacuum port on my bike. The rest are covered with screws.
  12. V4 Carb Sync 8 Mar 2012 18:09 Perfect! What kind of adapters am I going to need for the '86 vf500? I will go to the store and pick up the stuff as soon as I figure that out.
  13. V4 Carb Sync 8 Mar 2012 17:37 Sounds great. I'll look into the tool. If you can give me a shove in the right direction as to the process as well that would be great!
  14. V4 Carb Sync 8 Mar 2012 17:27 I am finally in the final stages of getting my carburetors set for riding and need to sync them. The local dealer quoted about $250 to do this for me, which is way out of my budget. Can anyone give me a beginners guide…
  15. Stubborn carbs - wont go back in! 1 Mar 2012 23:44 My camera is currently dead but I am going to try to take and post the video in an hour or so. It's probably going to be a bit dark but hopefully it will work
  16. Stubborn carbs - wont go back in! 1 Mar 2012 08:11 What was suggested to me was the "factory trick" but I could not get that to work for me so I followed another bit of advice. Just don't start banging on anything with a hammer. That won't end well…
  17. Stubborn carbs - wont go back in! 1 Mar 2012 08:09 I'm about to put a video up in the next day or two. I have had to take off the carbs to make adjustments multiple times in the last two weeks and have found a very good way to do it. It has been said already but I will…
