The 1983 Honda VT500 typically requires a high-quality motorcycle oil with a viscosity rating of 10W-40. It's important to use oil that meets the JASO MA specification to ensure proper clutch performance and engine protection. Regular oil changes are essential for maintaining engine health and performance. Always refer to the owner's manual for specific recommendations and capacities.
2,5L when oil filter changed
330 cc
SAE 10w30 Full Synthetic.
Owner's manual says 2.9 US quarts
Fork oil capacity is 390cc per leg +or- 2.5cc. ATF is reccommended but best to use 10 to15w fork oil. Hope this helps.
I'm pretty sure that it is not. I bought an 83 ft500 tank for my 84 vt500 and it isn't even close.
32 front, 36 rear.
Yes. The 5 fuse block is the original for the VT500 Ascot. I am looking for one also.
You need to first remove the plastic panel behind the seat above te rear tire. It is held on by a single screw. once this is removed 2 screws will be exposed that are holding the seat in place. Remove them and your all done.
