    Managed to break the brown plastic carb joint today reassembling the carbs.

    Anyone got one that they will sell me? Needed urgently.

    My NC30 has 50psi compression. apparently it needs a bit more.

    Fuck.

    at this stage I am thinking of wrecking it (it has some fruity bits) and buying a Daytona 675 racebike.

    I dont see the value of an engine rebuild which I would have to pay someone to do.

    still, it answers the question "Why does it go so shit".

    Want my engine? It comes with bike attached. Ran well when we fired it up. Need to sell it in the next month or so.

    Ive never done it. There, I admitted it. Plus it sat for two years doing nothing at one point. entirely self inflicted.

    What it is, of course is a complete lack of "start at the beginning, and work from there" - because I had problems with fuel and carburation (sp?) I assumed all problems were with fuel and carburetion. It took fresh eyes and someone asking the basic question you've just asked (When did you last do a compression test? Have you done a leakdown test? Have you checked valve clearances?) i.e. start at the beginning with a list, move down the list.

    Occams Razor, innit?

    Not asking for much money mate. Oh and valve clearances freshly done

    We can do a comp check on it too pre purchase, do I sell a bike well?

    A fully stock one will be worth more than a molested Tyga creation (which are so common in Aus).

    You can actually get near new NC35s from Japan. Just be prepared to pay upwards of NZ$30K by the time you get it here.

    Lovely bikes though.

    Hey all,

    I'm after a spare NC30 hub. If anyone has anything kicking around the shed, can they drop me a PM?

    Thanks

    Recently bought a VFR800i VFR 1999 Fifth generation model

    I have a few other bikes, never been a Honda fan, but I stick with my own opinion, that you cannot criticise another bike or brand of bike until you have owned and ridden one for a while. The world is full of bikers that love to think their bikes are the best, end of story.
    I do not want to be one of those people.
    After riding (my first Honda road bike) this little 800VFR I can truly say that it is a great bike, It is well made, seems very reliable so far, has plenty of power, is comfortable, handles very well, has a after market exhaust which gives it a real nice sound, surpisingly nice actually. Seat is comfortable after 2 hours of riding, never been further on it yet. Have not noticed that the lean to the handle bars is not excessive, so not too wristy after 2 hours of riding, but could be after 4 -5 hours, just guessing here. The V4 engine is awesome, smooth torquey, revs so easily. Although can be a bit lumpy if going too slow in higher gears.
    I have bought this Honda on the information I have gained from the internet and VFR forums stating in the main that the VFR800i cam driven Pre vtech are the best of a great model. I cannot agree or disagree with this comment, but what I can say ( after owning one) so far is that this bike is a little "gem".
