shed hermit Posted January 26, 2009 Share Posted January 26, 2009 hi folks got myself a new project last night, a honda vf750f, she is running and all there. it needs a full new exhaust, fork seals and maybe a tank. the headers are totally rotten so i will make new ones unless i find some cheap, the tank is in good shape with no dents but it was leaking at some time and has been patched (but i dont no how well) apart from that everything is there and all the lights are working, pretty good shape for a 25 year old bike.

shed hermit Posted January 26, 2009 Author Share Posted January 26, 2009 check those valves and cams will do drewpy. i had her running last night and i thought i could hear a slight ticking from the rear head, was hard to hear without exhausts. going to strip her down to paint the frame and i will do the heads when the engine is out. the engine wont be to heavy will it ???? might try and get a couple of pictures of her tonight if i can make room in the shed.

shed hermit Posted January 26, 2009 Author Share Posted January 26, 2009 the reason I said that is the VF's were eventually withdrawn to be replaced by the VFR series due to severe premature cam and valve wear the clock says it got 22,000 on it but i dont know if this is right. the guy i bought it from had it sitting a couple of years and the guy before that was the same. the disks and footpeg rubbers are like new so it might not be far away. do you know if there are cups on top of the valves that are adjusted by inserting shims? i havent had time to look yet and i need to get a manual.cheers Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
