All 15- More Complex Than What I Am Used To...'86 Vf500F InvisibleCities Congrats! How did the carb sync work out - & if I can add, don't forget to check the valve lash (if you haven't done this - it's very good to check this off the maintenance clipboard). Have fun! valve…
- More Complex Than What I Am Used To...'86 Vf500F kinda scary [image: 17510487334_5cecaa58a9_k.jpg] DSCN0474 by Sean Barney , on Flickr but I got it all put together and have been having good times on this bike [image: 17944975188_5b3896a939_k.jpg] DSCN0512 by Sean…
- More Complex Than What I Am Used To...'86 Vf500F ok, I figured out how to post pics here...again. So time for a long overdue update. Crusty rubbers above replaced with these... [image: 18129553512_e64d86bf11_k.jpg] DSCN0480 by Sean Barney , on Flickr mmm...new chain…

- More Complex Than What I Am Used To...'86 Vf500F Magna86 Just buy the motion pro carb sync. Its the best investment you can make with carburated motorcycles. I just use a 1/4" ratchet and sockets with a swivel joint to reach the adjustment screw on the carbs.…
- More Complex Than What I Am Used To...'86 Vf500F So, I was back to the old carburetor drawing board...I pulled them off again and once i got the float bowls off it became obvious that I did not clean these carbs good enough the first time, as 3 out of 4 slow jets were…
- More Complex Than What I Am Used To...'86 Vf500F Time for updates...swapped in some used pulse generators. These stilled measured out of spec, but were closer than the ones I had. Seems like they maybe helped a little, but the bike still ran like crap. Over on the…
- More Complex Than What I Am Used To...'86 Vf500F IC, that was a very informative post. Thank you very much...Kel too. I felt like I did a pretty thorugh job of cleaning the carbs, but one thing was pointed out that I did not do...I did not realize there were screens…
- More Complex Than What I Am Used To...'86 Vf500F Thanks for the tips. I do have access to another pair of unknown good cdi's. What about the pulse generators? Manual says ohms should be between 315-365 ohms. Mine measure about 400 and timing on the one I could get my…
- More Complex Than What I Am Used To...'86 Vf500F schwarzc stupid question, but did you sync the carbs? not a stupid question really (except that I already answered this question earlier in the thread)...I did bench sync them. I have not vacuum synced them. Earlier I…
- More Complex Than What I Am Used To...'86 Vf500F I will check out under the valve cover. Can the lash be checked and set with normal feeler gauges and hand tools? I am finding a lot of stuff about special Honda tools but all the pics I am seeing look very similar to…
- More Complex Than What I Am Used To...'86 Vf500F I do not think I have a fuel supply problem and it does not really act like a vacuum leak either, but I will try some more double checking. This bike just has a vacuum operated petcock, which I have checked with a…
- More Complex Than What I Am Used To...'86 Vf500F The previous owner's story is that he had cleaned and lined the tank, cleaned the carbs, and got it running but he suspected it needed coils, as it would miss above 5000rpm. All this a little over a year ago. He…
- More Complex Than What I Am Used To...'86 Vf500F Hi, new member here. For years I have been playing with 1970's sohc Honda fours. Lately, I have had the itch to go a little faster. So, I thought I would find myself some kinda '80's/early 90's sportbike. A couple weeks…
