As Pete will attest to ( he’s my agony aunt ) Ive been having all sorts of on going hassle with my VF500F2. If its not one thing its another; one of those Friday afternoon bikes. I finally got the engine tops screwed back up after new head gaskets when I noticed there was STILL an oil leak coming from behind the starter motor. I thought this was coming from the head originally. So, I stuffed a bung where the starter motor would normally sit and bump starter her… There is was; a crack in the upper crack case. Oh s…t.
If it wasn’t such a beautiful bike to look at I’d sling it over the hedge.
