All 20- 1984 VF700F New owner, info/tips? Pops Voltage regulator wiring is a very common issue with these bikes. As the connections age and corrosion sets in resistance builds up to the point where the connector housing will actually melt! Disconnect the three…
- 1984 VF700F New owner, info/tips? I'm debating rather it'll be beneficial to leave the fans wired like they are so that they run constantly??? Not to excited about taxing the electrical system though....
- 1984 VF700F New owner, info/tips? I would like to do the POR 15 but atm can't even afford the 40 bucks for it lol. I'm hoping that this process I'm doing will be good enough for now and when I get the chance I will do the POR 15. For some reason even…
- 1984 VF700F New owner, info/tips? Man it's difficult to get them carbs off! Lol. Some WD40 and a big flathead screwdriver and it was off. Started the tank derusting process...gonna be a pita. I ordered a new Hiflo oil filter earlier and bought some…
- 1984 VF700F New owner, info/tips? Rode the bike for about 1 min today lol...felt pretty comfortable considering it has no back brake and rpms go up buy themselves lol. Gonna start derusting the tank and swapping carbs tomorrow. Got a bunch of gravel,…
- 1984 VF700F New owner, info/tips? Thanks for the input, I've yet to find the fuel filter lol if it doesn't have one for some reason then I'm gonna buy a cpl asap. Definitely going to change the oil! I'm gonna run it with some cheaper oil at first to get…
- 1984 VF700F New owner, info/tips? [image: post-24384-0-73562800-1333397418.jpg] Picked up the bike yesterday. It will only start with full choke and will not idle. I put some seafoam in the tank, cleaned the plugs and checked/tightened connections and…

- V4 Carb Sync eamann The only issue with that is that the oil seems like it is going to get sucked into the engine. Just gotta have those long tubes and be ready to hit the kill switch. Use a thicker oil in the tubes to slow it down…
- V4 Carb Sync I'm looking into this whole sync thing myself, my bike may need it as well. Not gonna pay a cpl hundred when I can do it myself. If I was to adjust them with the motor off I'd set them to factory specs from the get go…
- 1984 VF700F New owner, info/tips? Two more weeks till I pick up the bike! The (po) got it started today, ran pretty good except the rpms are going up and down? He didn't clean the carbs, just poured some gas straight into it and gassed it a bit.…
- 1984 VF700F New owner, info/tips? rainman6 Congrad's on your find! Lokks very tidy and shiny alread and the full fairing is a bonus if you ask me. I went throught the same oil mod dilema and I did do the drill and tap method. In hindsight for all the…
- 1984 VF700F New owner, info/tips? Ok so the guy I'm getting the bike from worked on it today, said it's turning over and sounds like it wants to start...carbs are the prime suspect.He has some already cleaned carbs from a 750 that he's going to put on,…
- 1984 VF700F New owner, info/tips? Veefer800Canuck You won't find replacement exhausts for that bike anymore. Better off to refinish what you have if it isn't too rusty. Stay away from BBQ paint, unless you actually enjoy ripping the exhaust off,…
- 1984 VF700F New owner, info/tips? 683 JohnnyBentsmoke357 Cool, what do you need to do to it? What town are you in? I just started looking into the Accel coils as a replacement of stock, not sure if it would be worth the money and time power wise…
- 1984 VF700F New owner, info/tips? Cool, what do you need to do to it? What town are you in? I just started looking into the Accel coils as a replacement of stock, not sure if it would be worth the money and time power wise though...?
- 1984 VF700F New owner, info/tips? Thanks, I'll look for that. I was thinking that if I did go 4 to 1 I'd have to have it made up but that's just future thought, probably wouldn't be worth the money. Yeah I was amazed when he told me that! We'll see what…
- 1984 VF700F New owner, info/tips? Oh and also, what does everyone think about 4 into 1 pipes? Power and sound worth the trouble? K&N Air filter or what? I know it's just an air filter but if it even gives me 1 hp I'll take it lol. Btw, bigger jets if I…
- 1984 VF700F New owner, info/tips? Thanks for the replies. First of all yes the mufflers are Yoshis, I'm anxious to hear how they sound. I read different methods on how to deal with the rusty tank, one method that sounded easy and cheap was bbs and evapo…
- 1984 VF700F New owner, info/tips? Hi, I'm a new member to the forum and new to these bikes as well. I grew up riding dirtbikes but the only "street bike" I've ridden has been a Harley Sportster. I came across this 84 vf700f for $700. The guy bought it…
