All 17- Drive Dampeners 87 VFR700 I can't believe a search found nothing on this. I want to swap out my drive dampeners but can't find them anywhere. Does anyone have a source for these?
- 87VFR700F Front Sprocket/chain slider Just in case someone else has this issue. $22 and about 20 minutes and problem solved. The twin rings ( assume they were originally soft rubber) were shot. When the chain rubbed against these rings it caused a grinding…
- Clutch Woes I have an 87 and keep having clutch pressure issues. If I sit with the clutch lever pulled in, it will often bleed off pressure. Of course this changes the engagement and makes the bike a bit of a pain to start off…
- 87VFR700F Front Sprocket/chain slider I've got a grinding noise up front when leaving a stop. Likely culprits are front sprocket and/or chain slider. I found a chain slider, but can't seem to find a stock sprocket. Anybody have a link to a supplier? Also,…
- 83 V45 Interceptor Overheating Was having the same issues. Fan switch turned out to be the issue. New thermostat and Rad cap while it was sitting and flushed the radiator. Next up is a manual switch to keep it below temps while splitting lanes (which…
- Valve Adjustment And A Coolant Leak And ... As far as surging, try running a bit of Sea Foam through the system. I, too, rebuilt my fuel system last year. Once I got it started I couldn't get the idle down. I mixed in some Sea Foam and ran it up to temp then shut…
- Fuel Cap Gasket Nope, but that sounds like it might work.
- Fuel Cap Gasket Not the perfect spot for this, but it'l do. I am looking for the rubber seal that sits on the flip up lid on the gas tank. I checked Partzilla and it doesn't show this as a separate piece. Anybody have a lead on one?…
- New To Me 86 Vfr700 I can't see the pics here at work, but it sounds like your carbs were in similar shape to mine when I got my bike. Mine had set for 19 years under a cover. Apparently with a full tank of gas when they parked it. I ended…
- Touch Up Paint Looking for a vendor for touch up paint on my Blue 87. Yeah, it's a stretch but I gotta ask.
- Negative Reading So I pulled every fuse on the main fuse block and no changes in readings. Then I pulled the main fuse and both amps and volts went to 0. Anybody have any ideas before I continue? Is there some common failure between the…
- Negative Reading On the amp reading. I followed the suggested instructions here. I started with 200ma, 20ma,, then 2ma. At 200 nothing, 20 .047 and 2 .47. Great suggestion on the fuses. I was blindly checking wires so it makes much more…
- Negative Reading I did the Ammeter and got .47 Also, below is the description of the leak test. Both the Clymer and the Honda shop manual describe this test. Am I missing somethiing? [image: 20160312_195503_zpssnpg85pt.jpg]
- Negative Reading I've been having issues keeping my battery charged. If I put it on a trickle charger every two to three days it is fine (I commute daily ~80 miles round trip). I started checking the system and the first suggested test…
- New Battery On My Old Fat Slow Bike. Light Weight Or Heavy? Looks like an old thread but I can't find the info I need. I have been running Shorai batteries in my dual sport for years and want one for my 87VFR700. Shorai has this the LFX14A5-BS12 for 84-85 VFs but has no specific…
- Howdy Argh...stupid work firewall. Sorry guys, I'll get some pics uploaded when I get home tonight. To answer the color Q: Dark Blue, Silver seat, Silver wheels. Club Racer, thanks for the Galfer link. Of course, the site is…
- Howdy Just joined to hopefully get more information about my bike and meet some new people. Last year I came across a genuine garage find. Turns out my neighbor's son-in-law was storing his bike across the street. 87VFR700F2…
