VF1000FE and VF800FE (The old and the new)
Ronsk commented on Ronsk's gallery album in Member's Gallery
Yes it's 1984 model. The compliance plated is dated Jan 1984, so its an early one. Oh.... I will also fix the year typo in the description. -

VF1000FE and VF800FE (The old and the new)
Images added to a gallery album owned by Ronsk in Member's Gallery
The oldest and newest bikes in the shed. The VF1000FE (1984) is the first litre size bike I ever owned. While not my original bike, this low km (20,000km) exsample is a keeper. -

Okay, Honda springs and caps it is then. Thankyou.

I have a feeling the starter clutch needs rebuilding or a kit. Ah, the sound of the starter motor spinning while trying to engage the engine. In Austraila, and from what I have fond everywhere else, Honda has discontinued the 15x16 roller part # 91101-422-000 I can still buy the cap and spring but not the 15x 16 roller. Any ideas.... looking for either an alternative part or a honda part if this part was superseded.

Gen. 6 Rear Seat Cowling broken location tab repair
Ronsk replied to Kbear's topic in Body and Paint
A soldering iron and a strip of ABS plastic off eBay worked for me. Sanded down the weld with a multi tool afterwards. Plastex is also worth considering www.plastex.com.au is you want to try something different. I have also had a lot of success with Plastex. -
VFR750F(S) 1995 - backfiring, Spark plugs?
Ronsk posted a topic in Third and Fourth Generation VFR's
Started getting a small backfire when de-accelerating on a closed throttle. The bike gets used one or twice a week, so it is not sitting for long periods. Possibly Plugs or coils? The bike has 65,000km on it and is serviced yearly regardless of kms. The spark plugs are due for replacement, so I am going to replace them anyway. Any suggestions? Or should I just go with whatever my honda dealer specs? -

I am pretty sure that they were factory polished and clear coated. I had VF1000F in the late eighties. I have tried mothers on them to no effect. I suspect the remnants of clear coat is the problem..

Starting to look at reassembling the VF1000R. The alloy valve covers are quite a bit worse for wear. Any suggestions on the best way to refurbish them?

Capt, just heard back from the re-seller, they are saying the Arrowhead brand starter motors are a 2 brush design. I will take your advice and get a second hand 86 VFR starter and put a kit though it. I much prefer the idea of having a 4 brush starter. Cheers

Thanks, I will try asking the supplier if they ae a 4 brush starter motor. If not or if I cant get an answer, I will have a look around for a second hand 86 VFR starter and put a kit though it.

The fareing has been repaired and undercoated. Still a small bit of body filler required in a couple of areas. To quote the Spray painter "Out of intensive care, in recovery. Just a couple of splits to be fixed then the body work" I picked the frame up a week ago. It's been re-sprayed in the original colour as well. With a bit of luck and some spare time I should be able to start putting the old girl back together soon.

I have checked and the starter button is disengaging. At this stage I have purchased a rebuild/repair kit for the starter motor from Wemoto (uk). Brushes, seals, bearings etc.. I will fit the kit. I think I will still purchase a 86 - 87 VFR 700/750 starter motor as I do like the idea of having a 4 brushes starter motor on a VF1000 as opposed to the standard the 2 brush. I have 2 x VF1000's an F and an R so having a spare starter motor (the one with the kit in it) is most likely a good idea.. Does anyone have any experience with the Arrowhead brand starter motors? Are they a 4 or 2 brush starter motor? link below https://www.firestormmotorcycles.com.au/honda-vfr750f-1986-1997-arrowhead-starter-motor-a1

I have an issue with the starter motor on the VF1000F. The starter motor engages and starts the bike without any problems. The issue is after I release the starter button the there is a rattle noise. It a bit like the starter is not disengaging... any ideas? Its different to the starter clutch issue I had with the 1991 VFR750F were the starter clutch does not engage. The problem is the noise after starting the bike witch last for a couple of seconds. I don't believe its the starter clutch.. but I have been wrong before.......

They are a great bike. I can relate to the narrower feeling with the radiators at the front.
