VFR owners' thread, for VFRPS members and prospective members

[PirateJafa]

Hey guys..

This is my VFR 400 NC30

Very tidy mate, I approve of the white wheels too - always wanted some on mine.

Check out the SMC sub-forum - we have a lot of VFR enthusiasts, and plenty of rides over summer. And we're friendly people to boot!

Hey guys..

Primo man, yer white wheels are the tits, a complete cock to keep clean though..

Much K's on it ow chur bay ?

[Runera]

Haha yeah the white is prime! But yeah as you said a bitch to keep clean! WD-40 every other day to keep them crispy it seems :P

Picked her up with only 16K on the clock. First NZ owner so very very tidy!

Runs like new

WD-40 every other day to keep them crispy it seems :P

i like to keep WD40 well clear of my tyres and brakes... but maybe that's just me

[nico]

are those wheels the oem jobbies off the nc35 ? i like em, i like em alot

the whole this carbon made by a company taga, in tailand i thinks they have some nice stuff on the web dono about geting it here thu

[nico]

Well, seems like a good time to jump in. i confess, that was me. yes, 241kph (removed the wing mirrors) and 11.3 standing with an almost empty tank and me trying to keep my weight forward on the launch. awesome weekend. off with the pipes next time i think! (vids on youtube, search for gavinlegge or cliffhanger 2009 if you want to hear the vfr800 with the ends of the exhaust modified )

i have been lurking on KB for awhile now, but with the bikeoi have become a little more active. and of course i saw the street sprint thread and had to go didn't I...

So yeah, an 85VF1000R (which is currently de-reged but i'm getting the itch to get her on the road again after last weekend), the VFR800 2002 (latest addition to the garage) and i did have some time ago a rat vfr400 NC24 which was stolen from Haitaitai outside my flat a few years back. I miss that bike.
so yeah, sign me up for a Vee four lover for sure.

have a look at my profile pics to see the VF1000R (oh yeah, she dosint look like that any more (pics taken after body restored), the 1000 has over 280,000k's and is a bit worn out (but still a runner). and has been down the road a few times and used as a daily runner, so not looking so pretty today i'm afraid. time for another restore. but love the bike to bits. done a few 1000 milers on it as well. awesome machine.
), the 800 and i dont have any of the nc24 on here but there are some on http://www.angelfire.com/hi/VF1000R/vfr.html if you need a work shop manual for a VF1000R it can be found here.. http://gavweb.dts.net.nz/VF1000R

hey vfrians not to sure if this the right place but i ment to post ages ago that the oil filter on the vfr's ive been using a repco one Z411 for about a year now no problems at all.
$6 vrs $24 from motomart it's a good option and in my eyes no difrence at all the seals are a perfect match as is size.

just thaught id post this up for others , take it or leave it

Yeah, there's lotsa Mrkns who alsp just use a no-name one from Walmart or wherever. As long as the filter paper (or whatever they use) and the valve thingo (relief valve?) are equivalent, it doesn't matter.
Much.

[hmmmnz]

well i havn't got a vfr as such ...no r for me
but here's my dream bike from when i was a wee lad,


she's pretty much show room condition apart from the exhausts (removed for more noise, but still have them)

handling leaves alot to be desired, what with the crappy air shock on the back, but ill remedy that with a hagon later on

[gatch]

Does anyone have a shim kit ? Bikes hit 20k now, thought I should set a day aside and shim up te valves all good and chur.

[motorbyclist]

if you do find that the clearances are out you might get away with swapping the existing ones around....

[gatch]

Probably seen it before, but this guy has his shit down.. And weally short gearing..

I hope they do need doing, cause there is a new ticking sound coming from the right rear cylinder that wasn't there when I bought it..
