  1. 1983 VF750F 5 Jun 2017 01:51 Front calipers fully rebuilt.. Broke the anti-dive bolt before 27 ft-lb could be attained. Now a helicoil is required to fix. Had visions of bleeding brakes and filling forks with oil and front end would be done. Ugh.…
  2. 5k resitor caps, plugs, coils 4 Jun 2017 05:15 While doing some cooling system upgrades on my 1983 vf750f, I am going to replace my plugs and wires.. Pretty hard and they have 5k resistors in the caps. The plugs are DR9EA with 5k resistors. Has anyone put standard…
  3. Master cylinder questions 10 Apr 2017 02:43 The window is cracked from time. No lever so can't test piston. Good shape housing. Unknown if window is replaceable. Free! Shipping will be pretty cheap. I'll take some pics tomorrow in daylight.
  4. Master cylinder questions 30 Mar 2017 00:38 I think I have a master on my 83 750 frame.. You want? Can't cost but 6 to ship.
  5. Master cylinder questions 28 Mar 2017 03:27 The modulation will be different with a different size piston displacement. Bad? Probably will shorten the travel for full disengagement.
  6. 1983 VF750F 28 Mar 2017 03:25 Just got my order of all rubber boots for calipers, all water hard line seals, diaphragms and msc screws.
  7. 1983 VF750F 12 Jan 2017 03:53 Thank you! I looked at Dymag and it seems similar to CH3, but does not say Dymag. To test if aluminum or magnesium should tell me more.
  8. 1983 VF750F 10 Jan 2017 04:51 Front is 3 distinct spokes and deep offset wheel bearings. The braking rotors and rear sprocket part numbers all turned up nothing when searching. Apparantly all items discontinued... Or numbers stamped have to cross to…
  9. 1983 VF750F 5 Jan 2017 23:28 Thanks for again being the guy with the answers! I am not too fond of them either. Will move to back and get more motocross style with some bite.
  10. 1983 VF750F 5 Jan 2017 17:33 Trendy track bike parts or awesome parts?
  11. 1983 VF750F 5 Jan 2017 02:47 Although unknown cbr 17s with rotors and sprocket, stock front axle and brakes. Am following fsm for axle torque. Assured axle installed correctly. Right leg is torqued. Left TRAC leg controls width vs caliper mount to…
  12. WTB control switches 5 Jan 2017 02:39 I figured 80s Honda or Kawi would be easiest to find a parts bike to buy from. I will look into cbr gear.. Good tip. PO already converted to 17s from some cbr so no worry for oem restoration... I save that analness for…
  13. 1983 VF750F 3 Jan 2017 04:23 It appears I need the flanged and longer bushing in the fork leg. Flange to caliper or out?
  14. 1983 VF750F 30 Dec 2016 22:03 In the 8 months since I took the front calipers off for rebuild, I have lost or incorrectly installed the left TRAC arm. See the bushing in the caliper bolt is longer than the bushing in the TRAC hole of fork. Both…
  15. 84 VF 750 Tires? 30 Dec 2016 18:34 I use Battlex BT45s on my last Ninja.. BT23 on all my sport bikes. 23 is a phenomenal tire of 3 compounds.
  16. 1983 VF750F 30 Dec 2016 04:41 At 500 to 700 miles per week, I rack up oil changes fast. Cars go up to 5k on oil. All my motorcycles get oil and filter close to 3k as practical.. I see what you mean about the bracket. Mine has 3 on the upper and one…
  17. 1983 VF750F 30 Dec 2016 03:23 During operation thermostat and radiator hoses I have discovered the fact that the lower radiator is right on top of the oil filter. I am not going to remove the radiator every 6 weeks to change the filter. Hmmm.

  20. 1983 VF750F 29 Dec 2016 02:30 Bought her 21 April 2016. The Yoshi is only a cone completely open with those stamped areas for minimal back pressure. It is VERY loud. The test ride with only a tach, hit approx 120mph according to neighbor bike…
  21. 1983 VF750F 29 Dec 2016 02:06 A little slow to start my thread. Bought a 1983 VF750F. No title for the 83 frame. Have title and bits swapped into 1985 VF700F frame. Engine has custom ground cams Yoshimura "muffler" Custom? 4-1 headers Aftermarket…
  22. WTB control switches 29 Dec 2016 01:53 Anybody?
  23. My Old Girl Is Getting A Makeover. (83 Vf750F) 8 Oct 2016 16:58 The theory is more volume and potentially cleaner oil to the cams. I am curious where that kit was purchased from?
  24. WTB control switches 15 Jun 2016 06:05 I am restoring DOT compliance to a track trim. I need both switch controls from any honda. My 83 VF750 had it's light, horn, starter buttons and contacts all gutted from housings. Criteria: Electric start Harness ends…

  26. 83 - 85 center stand spring 14 Jun 2016 02:10 Thanks guys! That is the lug I had found. The magna must be different.. This spring is 4 7/8 inside the hooks..
  27. 83 - 85 center stand spring 13 Jun 2016 04:42 I am retrofitting a 83 vf750f that was stripped to be a track bike back to DOT compliant. Got a center stand spring and plate and pivot pin off magna or some similar bike. Where does the spring plate pivot? Found a nub…
