Honda VF1000F Engine Noise/Rattle FIXED

[@impaledface7694]

crazy how loud that was

[@teokastelan2930]

I had a Honda VF 750 F 1984 year. it had the same problem which previous owner solved it. It’s common problem.

[@Adikxx]

yep, it is indeed.

[@teokastelan2930]

@@Adikxx Thank you for answering ! The video is helpful because people mixed VF and VFR. I am looking now for VFR 750. It is really hard to find old bike with the low mileage. Old VFR 800 it’s excellent too but for 50 cc bigger displacement the insurance it’s much bigger where I live.

@@teokastelan2930 the 750 RC36 is a sweet bike. I owned one in the past and loved it. The sound of gear driven camshafts is epic!

[@teokastelan2930]

@@Adikxx Yes indeed anexcellent sound ! I never owned one, but I’m still looking. The prices of VFR 750 with low mileage is it going to the roof…

Well done. In the 1980s I took a demonstrator out for a long ride. It was a great bike too. At the time I was into shaft drive as my idea of the moment . I bought a Kawasaki GT750 instead. Was that the right decision? They were both good; But so different.

[@Adikxx]

Both interesting bikes. GT 750 was a shaft drive if i remember correctly. I'd like that very much.

You are the only guide I have to fix my bikes can you do a look at of the fuel system so I can match mine up?

[@charlesscottkelly]

Could I ask you to recommend a way to check head bearings on a 02 thundercat. Loving your 🏍 bikes and vids

[@Adikxx]

Hi, if you lift the front (jack under the engine) you'll be able to feel if the bars move left to right freely without any catching/resistance. If you don't know how long those bearings were there and want to have piece of mind then just replace them. They're cheap as chips and it can be done with very basic tools.

How many kilometres on the engine?

[@Adikxx]

it was about 80k from what i remember

@@Adikxx thanks

[@ihatnecksered]

Honda camchain woes? Surely not ;-) Nice fix.

[@Adikxx]

Yes.. the dreaded 80s V4 with it's painful charm 😅

[@chheevvyy]

Any brand / model recommendations for frame sliders for the rf600?? I wanna protect my bike in case I do drop it lol

[@Adikxx]

I found those crash bungs online. Renner is the brand. allegro.pl/oferta/crash-pady-renner-suzuki-rf-900-gratis-15210173437

@@Adikxx thank you sir!! Much appreciated!!

[@ViewlessSquid]

What kit did you use?

[@Adikxx]

I bought New cam chains(Tourmax) and new tensioner springs from Honda dealer.

[@nickrider5220]

Hell that sounded bad !

[@Adikxx]

Yep, both chains and both springs in tensioners were shot. All cured after replacement, i was so chuffed to see results !
