err um, I gonna go with "stuff" was done to them. Sorry not technical when it comes to suspension. Racetech springs and a new shim stack, and some valving work from memory.Originally Posted by racefactory
Without spending a bit of coin on your suspension, I wouldn't bother messing with the standard suspension, it doesn't seem to make any difference. I'm saving up for a nice shiney new rear as I'm that impressed with the front that I reckon it is money well spent.

Shim stack ? Are the rvf forks, cartridge type ?

Almost binned it today. Got mad sideways braking for a roundabout. Was going fairly slowly and wasnt using the brake all that hard but a combination of wet road + white line + shinko saw me do decent little drift. I recommend the Shinko rear tyre if you don't like riding in a straight line.

It's a cartridge fork and a lot stiffer spring rate than the NC30. Rear shock has a compression canister and also stiffer spring rate.
Taking my bike apart now to see what's in there and undo any delinquencies of previous owners that I might find. Pilot screws definitely feel off. Hopefully I don't end up with Monkey Boy what's-his-name's situation.
...Full throttle till you see god, then brake.

Still havnt had a chance to get the viffer going, with some luck work will let me leave! so I can work on it tomorrow with TT,
That aside, I have been looking at getting a digital speedo something the likes of a Koso RX2 which looks like, (and of coarse this wont be happening untill my shit is sorted)

What I want to know is, has anyone set up something like this on their bike? I just wanna know how much of a c**t it would be, this is possibly the wrong thread but thought it would be a good place to start

They work. Search Koso on 400greybike. Only a couple of threads about it but it doesnt sound too hard to get working.
Not quite the VFR http://www.youtube.com/results?searc...=koso+RVF&aq=f

Uh yeah sweet, those translogic ones look mean, but from memory they will cost an arm and a leg, and maybe a dead hooker,
Im curious to wither the low fuel warning on the Koso is programmable so say you can set it to .. lets say 200km if you can set it to come on at 180km or something along those lines, or if its just for bikes with the level sensor, I hate not knowing haha I could probably google it etc etc, but cbf, + there is usually someone who has some kind of idea, cheers for the youtube link.

Does anyone have a spare snorkel for the airbox? I need one.

I was told they are a very early cartridge type fork. If you have questions about them Robert Taylor from CKT is very knowledgeable.
I weigh in close to the ton, so while the springs maybe stiffer than the vfr, they're not stiff enough.

Hi all, would love some help here - trying to get the nc30 woff-able - having a mish of a time sorting out the rear brake switch mechanism. have found the switch, but how does it connect? can't find any photos on the net here, and the manual is pretty damn useless to be honest, I get the feeling im missing parts, cause I can't figure out what the spring attaches to, and how the black bit that has the adjuster on it is held in (I have various pieces in a box, not sure how they go together.
Not to mention the two allen key bolts that are holding the racing rearset in don't want to come out. have tried CRC, hitting them with a hammer, and putting all my weight into the allen keys...have snapped one allen key so far :-P...
also, any help for parts re: my thread here would be great! Thanks!!
PS: Racefactory: isn't there a snorkel in that box of bits I have?not entirely certain lol

impact driver (they're like $20) should sort the screw out. while you're there treat yourself to some copper grease, so when you reassemble a bit of copper grease goes a loooong way.
no idea re the brake switch sorry, mine doesnt have one.

impact driver. I like it. also, how did your bike get a wof without a rear switch thing? thats the only reason Im doing this..who uses rear brakes by themselves? (using the rear brake today I'm not actually sure it's working properly either lol

NO. Copper cote is old shit.
The longer it stays in the harder it goes, especially with the header being so close to the foot peg hanger.
Get yourself some nickel based anti seize. Stuff is good for extreme temps. I use it on everything at work. $$$ but well worth it.
