    Before you sell it to some poor sap, give it a proper comp test. Get it done by somebody that knows what they are doing. Dont tell people its just a valve adjustment if you dont know.

    Definitely worth a look as well as the compression test mentioned by the guru.

    The reason I say this is as there is a few flappy things in the VFR's airbox which people from time to time remove and instantly regret it. This causes the bike to run as you have described, turns out the Honda chaps put them there for a reason! So check that there has been nothing removed from the airbox that should be there and that a filter is correct. Some googling should put your right.

    Good luck lad!
