place some tape or paper blockage over 1/3 of the radiator area.

no gear drive on gen 1 except for VF1000R

best not to delude yourself or invest time or money in a VF500 unless it passes a compression test FIRST thing ! if yours runs with no disturbing noises, it's lucky. you can't shift properly cuz during storage the clutch plates have stuck together. they can be freed-up by technique without taking anything apart. ride and use both throttle and rear brake at the same time to break the plates loose. or place front wheel against a wall and, in gear, give it some gas.
