1985 Honda FT 500 Questions & Answers
The clutch is totally gone. How to repair?
i might be able to help.... drain your oil and take off the clutch side cover... just take off the springs and then the friction plates and steel plates will just pull off easy...chances are all you are going to need are friction plates which are not that expensive... it would be best if you go to your local dealer and order a service manual or ask them a few questions like torque settings and stuff... message me if you need any more help or have any questions... i rebuild clutches alot but they are in motocross bikes....
I need a new startor motoe pinion and crown gear
I checked Babbitt's and no motor is available. They reference the part number between all bike years and models and that starter number came up as zero inventory. Babbitt's does have brushes, gears and other miscellaneous starter parts. Look at two tabs, "stsrter cover" and "starter motor".
Go to the site below where you can see a parts diagram for your specific bike. You will select the actual brand, year, model, etc., once you go to the site. Part numbers and prices are also shown. You can order parts from this site. In the event no price is shown on a particular part and/or the notation "Not Available" is in the description, the part is not in stock. www.babbittsonline.com/pages/parts/viewbybrandand/parts.aspx
If what you need is not at Babbitt's you will need to go the salvage route. Google " motorcycle salvage honda ". See what you can find there.

The CB250 RS unit should be similar. The FT500 lump was actually derived from the XR/XL500 dirt bikes, so if you can find one of those, that may help. There was also a U.S. version of the FT500 called the Ascot, so you might try checking out U.S. websites.
I have a 1984 Honda
Try replacing all four spark plug caps. The two straight caps unscrew off of the end of the wires. The other two are attached to the wire. You may not be able to order them from Honda any more. You can purchase bulk copper spark plug wire and replace the wires and the caps right out of the coils. You will need to purchase two straight 5000 OHM NGK brand plug caps and two long 90 degree NGK brand spark plugs caps. They should cost around $5 each. Copper core plug wire in bulk is about $2 a foot. Install some new plugs and there is a good chance the poor running will be solved for under$30.

I have a honda interstate
It sounds like you have a stripped spline collar on your rear wheel. The spline collar bolts on to the center of the rear wheel and slides over the spline shaft coming out of the final drive. If it is stripped the final drive will spin but the wheel wont.
You can also get a grinding sound if the u-joint in the final drive shaft has a bad bearing. The shaft and u-joint are only sold as an assembly and would probably have to be purchased used from a salvage operation.
Honda PC50 moped VIN decoder
To read the serial number on a Honda PC50 moped, follow these steps:
Locate the VIN (Vehicle Identification Number): The VIN is a unique code that provides information about your moped. On a Honda PC50, you can find the VIN in the following places:
Under the Air Filter Cover: Look on the left-hand side, just above the engine. The VIN should be stamped there. It typically looks like this: PC50 - 1234567.
Frame Number: The frame number is another term for the VIN. It's usually located near the air filter body.
Decode the VIN: The VIN contains important details about your moped, including the year of manufacture. Here's how to interpret it:
The 9th digit of the VIN is a check digit.
The 10th digit represents the year code. For example:
A = 1980
B = 1981
C = 1982
D = 1983
E = 1984
F = 1985
G = 1986
H = 1987
J = 1988
K = 1989
L = 1990
M = 1991
N = 1992
P = 1993
R = 1994
S = 1995
T = 1996
V = 1997
W = 1998
X = 1999
1 = 2000
2 = 2001
3 = 2002
Note that if your scooter was manufactured between February 1986 and February 1987, it's likely to be a '87 model;
Additional Resources:
If you have the full VIN, you can use the NHTSA VIN decoder to get detailed information about your moped.
Alternatively, you can call Honda with your VIN, and they will provide you with the necessary information.

Honda 500 TRX fa6 has PS on the dash….what does it mean ?
The Power Steering has failed. There has been a factory recall for a suddenly failing electrical steering shaft, that could cause the rider to loose control. This does not have to be your problem but anyhow either the electronics or the pump failed. Error codes or messages usually have to be erased by a simple reset procedure or disconnecting a plug, after repairs are done.

What to torque the head on my 99 CBR 929 Honda in
For a 1999 Honda CBR929RR, the cylinder head bolt torque specifications are essential to ensure proper engine assembly and function. When tightening the cylinder head bolts, it's crucial to follow the manufacturer's recommended torque settings to prevent damage to the engine components.
For the CBR929RR, the cylinder head bolt torque specifications are typically as follows:
1. **Initial Torque:** 29 Nm (2.9 kgf-m, 22 ft-lbs)
2. **Final Torque:** 64 Nm (6.4 kgf-m, 47 ft-lbs)
It's essential to tighten the cylinder head bolts in the specified sequence and in multiple stages, gradually increasing the torque until reaching the final specified torque. The exact tightening sequence can usually be found in the service manual specific to your motorcycle model.
When torquing the head bolts, ensure you're using a reliable torque wrench calibrated in the appropriate units (Nm or ft-lbs). Always follow the tightening sequence precisely to ensure even pressure distribution across the cylinder head gasket.
Additionally, it's advisable to use new cylinder head bolts if the old ones have been previously tightened or stretched beyond their yield point. This helps maintain proper clamping force and ensures the integrity of the engine assembly.
As always, referring to the service manual or consulting a professional mechanic experienced with motorcycle engine assembly can provide additional guidance and ensure the correct torque settings are applied during the cylinder head installation process.
