NC21 VFR400 info?

[toymachine]

Nope, I saw in the quesitons it's about $1k to replace one! Hopefully this one's fine, lol.

[gamgee]

ok to be honest I think you're mad buying an nc21 in that condition...

[toymachine]

It's not the one with the faulty CDI..

or just the smokey non idleness makes you say that?

I'd completely forgotten about a VIR Going to get one before heading over...

yeah the price, the smoke and idle, the fact that it's an nc21, just doesn't sound like a wise investment to me, I like to be able to actually make money, not lose it when I'm investing time and money into restoring a bike, otherwise ya may as well go and buy one thats already had it all done and save yourself some money

If its going to be just a TD bike why not get this one http://www.kiwibiker.co.nz/forums/sh...ad.php?t=40692

Oh i've no illusions, I don't intend to make money on it. It's more for my satisfaction and to learn a load.

V8 nose? You been smoking summit?

Nope, what I meant was a v8 type of noise...

[insane1]

if help is needed in teardown pm me im keen to have a look at one of these.

if you are unsure on the model, check the frame number, normally found on steering head, it should begin with NC something. Thats the model. mine begins with NC25, yes its a 88 but not a vfr but a v twin bros, single side swing arm, Naked. At the moment a daily commuter, but come winter.. a project bike.
good luck

Fired it up for the first time since owning it...

spent a good 45 minutes with jumperleads trying to start it... then tried a crash start... 'What the f**k am i doing wrong?'... the last fella started it first pop.

So sitting there on the concrete, rain softly falling, I had a brainwave... it's not firing... so chuck the bloody thing on reserve! lol!

Strangely enough with some fuel it fired first go... and christ it sounds sexy.

Learning already! Engines need fuel! LOL

Na man, a mate had one wif a small straight through muffler on it and you'd have sworn a sprint car was coming down the road if ya couldn't see it.

Fuk. That's the VFR going on rETARDME then. Only 'merricans and Australasians are stupid enough to drive V8's
