  1. VF1000F Fuel Pump Failure? 6 Jun 2017 14:59 I had a recent issue with mine too, where crystalised old crap in the tank from high-ethanol fuel had led to blockage. Take the seat off, undo the pipe coming from the tank and blow back through it while opening the…
  2. Exotic whit a Honda V4 engine 25 Jan 2017 10:19 I am rather partial to a funny front end :) Especially one that is draped on the front of a big v-four!
  3. VF750 Fuel pump relay operation 20 Dec 2016 14:28 The CF318, from the early CBR600 and VFR750 models, works on a VF1000 FF with the three wire fuel cut off relay, the CF304. I'd imagine it should work on the VF750F too.
  4. CBR wheel conversion on VF1000 FF - tyres? 6 Oct 2016 10:05 Thanks guys, good info there. I think I'll go with the 120/70 front and the 160/60 rear. Clearance on the rear seems to be OK. As regards adjustability, I have a custom fit Wilbers 641 on the rear so there's loads of…
  5. Nice VF750 at local show 30 Sep 2016 21:14 Wow, never copped that meself. It did sound fairly amazing. The meet up is a racing past appreciation event, with a few parade laps around an old road circuit. It means that the machines don't get thrashed, but they do…
  6. Nice VF750 at local show 27 Sep 2016 15:35 There's a vintage and classic show that happens near me in Ireland called the Spirit of Dunboyne show. It's full of classic cars and bikes from every era, has a very relaxed atmosphere and is open to all. I've been…
  7. Someone help? 27 Sep 2016 09:38 After checking the fuel situation, I'd say this /|\ Had this on a bike years ago, as the stator windings were breaking down. Hard to diagnose in the pre-Internet days :)
  8. CBR wheel conversion on VF1000 FF - tyres? 27 Sep 2016 09:30 Thanks for that. After a bit of research, I'm going to go with a 120/70 17 front and a 160/60 17 rear in the Road Smart IIs. That still pitches it forward a bit, but it should benefit for that :) I am loosing some…
  9. CBR wheel conversion on VF1000 FF - tyres? 6 Sep 2016 14:33 So, I'm about to order up the Daugherty CBR600 F2 wheel conversion kits for my VF1000 FF. I was looking at Dunlop Road Smart IIs, as I had them on other bikes and liked them a lot, and there are good deals available. I…
  10. RC15 comstar/comcast rims - information sought 25 Aug 2016 13:06 Brembo do a set. I have them on a VF1000 FF They fit a CBR600F2 wheel too, so they may be listed for that, 91-94 model.
  11. 1000F run without fuel pump? 20 Aug 2016 20:36 One other thing I established in my little experience is that the fuel cut off relay from the VF the CF304 is interchangeable with the CF318 which is featured on the earl CBR6 and VFR750s and so are much more plentiful.
  12. '85 Vf1000F Build 20 Aug 2016 10:22 55 minutes ago, mitchb @Ascalon Cone Engineering in the states. Used them on a couple of builds now great quality, great sound even off the stock manifold and cat Cheers mate, they look the business. Period, yet modern.
  13. 1000F run without fuel pump? 20 Aug 2016 09:01 I recently replaced the fuel pump on by FF with a generic pattern one. Any place that does older Honda stuff should have one. I used some elbow connectors and changed the fuel filter too and with some very flexible fuel…
  14. '85 Vf1000F Build 20 Aug 2016 08:58 Nice work. Where did you get those exhaust cans, they look very good.
  15. New to me VF1000FF - change of plan 22 Jun 2016 09:33 Well, as I posted here before, I had some great ambitions to acquire a VF1000F and update it with modern running gear. Having seen a a CBX1000 hung with CB1300 suspenders, it looked really well. Then, while looking for…
