Honda CLYMER VF500C 500F (1984-1985) [10/350] General information
GENERAL
INFORMATION
pertains
to
it, making sure
you
have
identified the
proper
one.
Study the
illustrations and text
until
you
have a
good
idea
of
what is involved
in
completing the
job
satisfactorily.
If
special
tools or
replacement
parts
are
required,
make
arrangements
to
get
them before
you
start.
It is
frustrating and
time-consuming
to
get
part
way
into a
job
and then
be unable
to complete
it.
Simple
wiring
checks
can be easily
made at
home,
but
knowledge of electronics
is
almost
a
necessity
for
performing
tests
with
complicated
electronic
testing
gear.
During disassembly
of
parts,
keep a
few
general
cautions
in mind.
Force
is rarely
needed to
get
things apart.
If
parts
are a
tight
fit, such
as a
bearing
in
a case,
there
is
usually
a tool
designed
to
separate
them.
Never
use a screwdriver
to
pry
parts
with machined surfaces
such
as crankcase
halves.
You
will mar
the
surfaces
and end
up
with leaks.
Make diagrams
(or
take a
Polaroid
picture)
wherever
similar-appearing
parts
are
found.
For
instance. crankcase
bolts
are often
not the same
length.
You
may think
you
can
remember
where
everything
came
from, but
mistakes
are costly.
There
is
also
the
possibility
you
may be
sidetracked
and
not
return
to
work for days or
even
weeks,
in which
interval carefully
laid out
parts
may
have become
disturbed.
Tag
all
similar
internal
parts
for location and
mark all
mating
parts
for
position.
Record
number
and thickness
of any
shims as they
are
removed.
Small
parts
such
as bolts can
be
identified by
placing
them
in
plastic
sandwich
bags.
Seal and
label them
with masking tape.
Wiring
should
be tagged
with masking
tape and
marked as each
wire is removed.
Even though
most electrical
connectors
are color
coded,
mark
them.
Do
not rely
on
memory
alone.
Protect finished surfaces
from
physical
damage
or
corrosion.
Keep
gasoline
and
hydraulic brake
and clutch
fluid
off
painted
surfaces.
Frozen or
very
tight
bolts and screws
can often
be
loosened by soaking
with
penetrating
oil, such
as
WD-40
or
Liquid
Wrench,
then
sharply striking
the bolt
head a
few
times
with
a
hammer and
punch (or
screwdriver
for
screws).
Avoid
heat
unless absolutely
necessary,
since
it may melt,
warp
or
remove the temper
from many
parts.
No
parts,
except
those assembled
with
a
press
fit,
require
unusual
force
during
assembly.
If
a
part
is
hard to
remove
or
install,
find
out
why
before
proceeding.
Cover all openings
after
removing
parts
to
keep
dirt, small tools,
etc.,
from fatling
in.
When
assembling2
parts,
start
all
fasteners,
then
tighten evenly.
Wiring
connections
and brake
components
should
be
kept
clean
and
free
of
grease
and oil.
When
assembling
parts,
be sure all shims
and
washers
are
installed
exactly
as
they came out.
Whenever
a
rotating
part
butts against
a
stationary
part,
look
for
a shim or
washer.
Use
new
gaskets
if there
is
any doubt
about
the condition of
the old ones.
Heavy
grease
can be used to
hold
small
parts
in
place
if
they tend to
fall
out
during assembly.
However, keep
grease
and
oil away
from
electrical
and brake components.
High
spots
may
be sanded off a
piston
with
sandpaper, but
fine emery cloth and oil
will
do a
much more
professional
job.
Carbon
can be
removed from
the
heads, the
piston
crowns and
the exhaust
ports
with
a dull
screwdriver.
Do
not scratch
machined
surfaces.
Wipe
off the surface
with
a clean cloth
when
finished.
The
carburetors are
best cleaned by
disassembling them and soaking the
parts
in
a
commercial carburetor
cleaner.
Never
soak
gaskets
and
rubber
parts
in
these cleaners.
Never
use
wire
to clean out
jets
and air
passages;
they are easily
damaged. Use compressed
air to blow out the
carburetor
after
the
float has
been
removed.
A
baby bottle
makes a
good
measuring
device
for
adding oil to the
final
drive
and front
forks.
Get
one that is
graduated
in fluid
ounces
and cubic
centimeters. After
it has
been used
for
this
purpose,
do
not let
a small child drink
out of
it
as there
will
always
be an
oil
residue in it.
Take
your
time and do the
job
right. Do
not
forget
that
a
newly
rebuilt
engine must
be broken
in
the
same
as a new
one. Keep
the
rpm
within
the
limits
given
in
your
owner's manual
when
you get
back on
the
road.
