All 20- 83 VF750F Leaking Fork Tom, Thanks for the offer. I pass through your area sometimes and will look you up. I finally had a chance to work on the forks and get them disassembled. There was some muck under the dust caps and the fork oil was…
- 83 VF750F Leaking Fork I was trying to pre-plan as I actually have a free day Saturday that I can work on the bike. I'll just pickup the seals for now. Thanks for the feedback.
- 83 VF750F Leaking Fork After resurrecting this bike and doing some riding, I noticed I'm leaking fork oil from the left leg. It's significant enough that the front pads are soaked and no good any longer (a little scary when I grabbed the…
- 83 V45 Interceptor Overheating New thermostat, radiator cap, and a bleed improved things but she was still running hot on the stand. I picked up a new thermal switch at NAPA Part # FS 130 made by Eichlin and it was a direct fit. An internet poster…
- 83 V45 Interceptor Overheating Thanks. Come to think of it, the radiator fans did not come on so this morning I tested the wires. I put a jumper wire on the two female sockets of the fan switch and the fans cycled on so the wiring is good. I'll order…
- 1983 Vf750F Resurrection I basically just did the same project on the same bike. I have some work to do to make it better, but I've made some good progress and I enjoy the hell out of it. Let's see some pics!
- 83 V45 Interceptor Overheating Well, that time of year I guess. Now that I have my bike running right after front head gasket replacement and valve adjustment, I let her idle for awhile in the garage. I came back 10 minutes later to find steam and…
- New Guy....1984 Vf750F Welcome!
- My Old Girl Is Getting A Makeover. (83 Vf750F) Well done. You gave me a lot of ideas for the rebuild of my bike this winter. Thanks!
- Suspension Help Great. Thanks for the feedback.
- Suspension Help Thanks Captain. This is exactly what I was looking for as a start. Nick
- Suspension Help Hey guys. Now that my 83 Interceptor is on the road, I'd like to focus my attention on the suspension. I took two test rides this weekend and while I was pleased with how she ran and the new tires, the suspension needs…
- 83 V45 (750) Interceptor Compression My ride. Just finished bringing it back from the dead. [image: post-35230-0-46708100-1459703189.jpg]
- New To The Board Here is my bike. I just finished the mechanicals and putting it together. I rode it 45 minutes yesterday and had a great time. If everything goes well this summer, I'm going to completely disassemble it and paint…
- 83 V45 (750) Interceptor Compression I just went through this for the last year. It sounds like carbs to me. It took me three round of cleaning on my bike and I still think they need a little work. While you get the carbs straigtened out, you can pull the…
- Rc15 Designation Captain 80s is correct. I mixed up the reference in the message body. I'm very familiar with the RC51, which is fact what made me think about this whole thread in the first place.
- Rc15 Designation Quick question out of curiousity. I have an 83 V750F. Is this model referred to as an RC51 or is that just a UK reference? I did some searching and only seem to see that reference on European web sites. Thanks Nick
- 83 Interceptor Front Cam Install Timing Question I figured it out. I added the 45 degree marks on the front cam sprockets per the manual and after I moved the crankshaft 90 degrees I was able to drop the cams right in and rotate them 45 degrees. Once I did that I was…
- 83 Interceptor Front Cam Install Timing Question After replacing the front head gasket, I'm preparing to install the front cams. I have a copy of the Honda shop manual and for the front cams, lists a process to add marks at 45 degrees to the cam sprockets for proper…
- New To The Board Hi all. I'm a lifelong motorcycle rider. I grew up in a Kawasaki household in the late 70s/early 80s and know those bikes really well. I like to work on old bikes/cars and purchased a CL 1983 V45 Interceptor early last…
