full service kit for $125 - air filter, oil filter with tool, 4 sparkplugs and sump plug washerJust got my quote from Hamilton Honda for a service. I find the OEM part prices rather amusing.
$104 for an air filter! and $40 for each spark plug. Prices online are considerably lower than this.
But worst case scenario is looking at over a grandMost of that is labour which is no surprise. I should really learn how to do this shit myself!
Now i gotta start saving.
It is not hard to do yourself, or drop the bike at a mechanic with the parts. Use a guy who's worked on one before and it will save on labour and headaches.
Are you sure that seal is poked? normally that tends to prevent fuel from passing thru the tap. Answer to your question is "no, it should not leak. find the source."May be a stupid question
But if the vacuum seal on the fuel tap is poked, would an RVF 400 leak fuel from any part of the carbs if the fuel tap was left on? In the past I've left the tap in the 'On' or 'Res' position as it tends to be a bit sticky and had no probs. went out the other day and there was a strong smell of petrol and a small pool of fuel under the bike. hoses aren't leaking, so I'm assuming that there must be sort of an overflow?
My NC35 fuel tap sprung a leak for no clear reason, and the leaking tap left a puddle by the sidestand - swapped with a NC30 part and problem solved.
For the carbs to be dumping fuel the float valves/seals would have to be stuffed or dirty

I saw the service kit. About $160 with shipping. Still a good price. Am considering doing it myself. Just really don't want to fuck it up! Its the valve clearances i want to check.

Kept the revs right down when i realised i was at 200ks and still 50ks from a gas station, best I got on a tank was 200.8 KM as it spluttered into the servo bone dry.

So i left the driveway got 100 metres down the road and it needed to go to reserve. Took 13 litres to fill up. 276ks on 13 litres. Pretty damn good!
Love riding this bike. Really need to take it to the track. Bit scared how far i can push it on the road before pegs start scraping. Don't really want to lever the bike off the ground. Still massive fun in the corners.

Don't worry, you won't.
Unless it has silly rigid ones. Even with fixed pegs you probably won't.
HOWEVER, if you are scraping it on the road you need to lean off more, if you ARE leaning right off and still scraping you should probably be on the track...

My thinking as well! Will get some better pants then hit the track. As you can tell from my mileage im hardly racing around the roads

True, I wouldn't have thought getting that far on a tank was possible!My thinking as well! Will get some better pants then hit the track. As you can tell from my mileage im hardly racing around the roads
Good gear is a really good idea, it doesn't have to cost the earth if you are careful but most really cheap new stuff isn't that great.

You SHOULDN'T scrape the pegs on the ground on one of these unless you hit a bump mid turn..
Only times mine have touched down I ended up taking a quick lie down..

Hey guys,
So about.. I dont know lets say a week ago, I brought a VFR400 NC30, now im not gonna lie, I have probably been fapping about this bike since I first started riding road bikes, And I gotta say, I have NO regrets buying this baby, I have a few Q's and A's im hoping you guys can help me answer,
first of all is, I found the clutch doesn't fully engage, so a friend and I adjusted the clutch but without a hell of a lot of difference, (as a note, my friend is far more motorbike/mechanically minded than I am) so Im thinking it could be the oil causing the problem, more so the wrong oil, just wondering if this is a normal problem for these bikes or its definitely something with mine.
Secondly, I have a little bit to much slap in my chain, as I hinted towards above, I dont know jack shit, So im asuming you can adjust he chain still but I cant seem to figure out how or where haha
Any help would be appreciated,
Cheers

Heres a picture of my new baby,
