VFR owners' thread, for VFRPS members and prospective members

[HenryDorsetCase]

There is/was a 17" on trade me for $500 by itself..

was. I offered the guy $400 for it but someone hit buy now at $500.

I shouldn't have tried to be a smart arse and just paid the money.

What did you want the 17" for specifically ? Tyre choice ? Already have other 17"s already ?

Cheers for the offer but Yeah they are different, different to even the Vfr400 which i was hoping would be the same. If i get desperate i could always get the two cracks welded and hope?

My RHS bracket was broken too, right through. That got welded up about a year ago. No sweat.

get it welded - won't cost you bugger all compared to a new part

may have to stroke a 400 ...maybe not will weigh a ton

so I just ordered a (genuine honda) rear disc and rear bearings from the UK, along with air filter, oil filter, plugs, handgrips and bar-ends.

$600 worth with shipping!


So seeing as I'll be playing mechanic for a weekend coming soon (60,000km!), does anyone have a dead motor around? If I'm super-duper keen I might drop the motor out and have a look at the state of 1st and 2nd gear, but if I don't like what I see I'm not sure where I might find parts..... rvf has a different ratio to vfr for first gear, but it might be the selector drum or one of the forks giving me grief (1st-2nd shifts are getting crunchier, pops out of 2nd into first in 1% of shifts, neutral light crapping out - something is giving a metal sliding/scraping feel through the stick and I think it's the selector drum)

tbh I don't see myself dropping the motor unless I have bits on hand - that said I just spent $600 for brake disc (needed, but it was passing wofs regardless) and bearings (not needed, doing "seeing as I'm down there") and peace of mind would be nice - can do valve shims and re-seat valves while I'm at it.... just if bits need replacing I don't want to wait weeks for them to arrive - and not that many bits are available! http://www.cmsnl.com/honda-rvf400rr-...slist/E14.html

One in every ten shifts from first to second results in hitting neutral. Every other gear is smooth but first to second can feel rough. Does the NC30 not have a cassette type gearbox?

Any of you cunts going to be at the motoTT day at Taupo, march 16th ?

I want to cane around with another half decent rider on a stock vfr. That's assuming of course that any of you cunts are half decent riders hahahaha. And that your bike is stock.

Come on sissys. GET THERE.

Gearbox stuff

If you are going to go split it you may as well get the parts in there machined and undercut. It's not all that expensive and should give a better result, sure I't means the bike might be off the road for a bit longer but it's gotta be worth it.

Sigh, I can't make it to whoop you on my stock '21.

I won't have my engine back together by then. I was hoping to make the NZSBK round at the end of the month, but that is looking slim. Wouldn't have been a stock bike though....
