I hope this proves to be the bargain it looks like
|
A Honda VF500, plus another for spares, for just over £400.
|
Nice. Not a twin, though.
Is that a 16" front/18" rear setup?
|
I think so. Maybe 17" rear, but 16" front, definitely.
|
16" and 18"
|
Ta. There's an odd set-up.
Wonder if Haynes does a manual?
Oh dear, they don't.
|
Item 320064491133 should fill that gap.
|
Already noted - it's the same bloke as I won the bike from.
|
|
The ukrm manual depository has a Clymer manual for the VF700/1000F
Interceptor V4s. Totally irrelevant to this bike, but whatever.
|
|
Oh, Christ. Oh dear oh dear oh deary me.
Hm. This might be tricky. Lozzo, is the special cam holding tool utterly
essential or just snake oil?
|
This article suggests that it may not be entirely necessary and, of
course, if it's on the net it must be true.
|
"This tool is superfluous. It is also part of a big coverup.....
Moreover, in August of 1985 and again in February of 1986, Honda
themselves revealed its uncertainty regarding this "solution" to the cam
problem, by suggesting in a dealer publication that the special tool
wasn't in fact necessary to get correct valve adjustment."
Phew. Thanks for that. I had a vague recollection that it didn't really
do anything.

Fell off, huh?

Nowhere near, I was in total control....for once.
