VF500F2 Aka MBD Incubation Period At Least 52 Years
Dutchy replied to Dutchy's topic in Earlier VFRs
4 celcius today, which IS a wee bit nippy... Rode to a wrench day/meet, good that I arrived when the burgers were ready :-) The clutch rod oil leak fix seems to be holding and I do like the RT emulators initial feel. Roads too cold for any serious pushing, but less dive yet planted feel for now. This year I will be experimenting with them. Didnot drill extra holes, will wait if and when a spare set of front forks are at hand. -

So far, so good. The engine ran for about ten minutes, pulled the clutch a few times. And no leakage. Compare this with the earlier picture. -

If you know another trick Bert, please do tell. The Dutchy gave me a tip to pull the rod and put shrink tubing (the stuff you heat up) over the rod area where the seal would be. Tried that, but it kept leaking. So I put another bit of tubing on top and reassembled once more. But then the rain started. So I will try tomorrow if there is dry spell. Made myself a nice gin and tonic and call it a day. -

Well, the voltmeter kept on fogging up, so I caved in and got a new VDO one... A VDO one, just like the clock.. -

Cheers The Dutchy for offering light at the end of the tunnel With the bike under "overgangsregeling oldtimers" I won't be riding her until March anyway. Weekend forecast for rains and more rains so the "pull the exhaust and give the engine a good clean/inspection" will have to wait. -

The glistering wetness all over is condensation inside the garden shed, only redslut is parked in a heated garage.... If there is a break in the weather AND my work schedule, I will take puma out, remove the mufflers, front headers and collector box to give her a good clean underneath and hopefully trace "the source". There was but still is a lot of grime underneath. Having put a new rear shock in a sourced RT front fork emulators and springs, I'm not ready yet to consider letting her go.... In the few months I had her, put ~ 4,500km's on her, I like her a lot... -

Not sure yet, the underside is/was very dirty with old grime so I need to get my sherlock cap on. Other -family- stuff to take care of 1st... The shed is a plain single stone one and with temperatures >freezing anything metal wet with condensation. It could be fuel as the actual petcock was dirty/wet, as was the area below. Shoved a bunch of white paper towel under the petcock and will check tomorrow. -

Cheers Rush! I stil need to figure out to affix the wires to the rear of the case and then down towards the tail section. I won't be taking the case of each time I stop so am thinking of a semi-permanent method. Givi sell -for their own line of cases- a LED system that contains a flug one fits to the bottom of the case and the base plate so it "clicks" into place. -

The decals for both my girls came in today :-) July 1986 the year my VF500F was built also the month/year I started with a certain company I am with still today (after 2 mergers and a split...). Undecided on which color scheme would look best I simply made "3 generations".... The nothing else matters will look good under the sidepanel VFR logo (methink) with the sane insanity apt for the VF...
