You may have to release both sprockets to fit it in.

You don't. Pull the engine.

Your rear wheel is mounted on an offset cam. Part #6http://www.bikebandit.com/houseofmotorcycles/2004-honda-vfr800-interceptor-interceptor-abs/o/m2792#sch303670 Loosen the bolt on the back of the wheel/cam/bearing holder at the back of the swing arm.Part #16 http://www.bikebandit.com/houseofmotorcycles/2004-honda-vfr800-interceptor-interceptor-abs/o/m2792#sch303667 Use tools Part # 15 and 7or 6 (whichever fits the circumference of the cam) together to rotate the bearing cam until the chain has approximately 1 and 1/2 inches of slack from the top to the bottom of its movement in the middle of the chain slack. Then retighten the bolt on the back of the swing arm. Happy Riding

depends where you live but in general it is 10w40 for 32 to 85 f. or 20w50 for 50 to 100 f. and NO full synthetic oil

I have a 1985 Honda Interceptor that I remember had a recall in 1984 for bad main bearings.

The engine new had a tick in it which was the valves opening and closing.

The engine has 4 valves per cylinder and is a V-four design.

I don't think you have any worries as long as it doesn't break on you.

I still have mine in the garage, but haven't run it for years.

Good luck in riding the bike around, as have many fond memories of doing so myself.

No not unless you split the chain(not reccomended),if your changeing the chain i would suggest new chain tensioners frt and rear cyl. they where known to go bad,i replaced mine in my interceptor and my v65 magna.
