Got a VF500F in not long ago. Ran poorly, had numerous other issues. I think the bike had been a race bike at one time, then re-street-ified. Lot of damage from sliding and banging. |
Needed carb rebuild as well as valve adjust. Found one cam out of time also. |
Engine was extremely noisy also. Was able to locate a pair of cam chain tensioners (came out of Italy). Quieted it right down. |

Coolant leaks, oil leaks, noisy, lurchy, loose steering bearings, bent parts, all kinds of problems. |
Lot of silicone sealer on valve cover gaskets. |
Lot of black silicone sealer on valve cover gaskets. Collected for posterity. :-) |
