Absolutely brilliant - thanks to that, I now know where that big metal bit I've got in my spares goes...thanks to that, I've managed to jimmy something up (only had one spring, didn't have the bit that bolts on to the bottom of the brake lever) that got through the warrant today :-D. Beauty.

And figures, just after I've got my vfr, another one comes up on trademe with 13000kms, fresh import etc...gutted

What is everyones favourite paint scheme? http://www.vsource.org/VFR-RVF_files/Bvfr400r-mi.htm

My top 3 would be types:
8
7
5

I love 7, its the one I have at the moment (minus the purple tank and gold wheels)... would look even better with black rims and the right tank colour :-P

[DrunkenMistake]

Yeah I have type 3, But I like mine.. I think it would be better with Candy red, candy blue and pearl white.

Ok, heres is the update,
The bikes running and is at idle without any problems, im not pissing out any gas any more, and everyone who said it was the float was correct, BUT.. it astuck.. haha somehow when we took the carbs off the float had become unattached so when we took them off today and turned them over it fell out, im yet to take it for a run, as its like 5degrees here and im over it haha.

It was the float needle.

Will take it for a test spin and drop off to you later on/tomorrow

hey guys, im thinking of jetting my carbs on the nc30 ive got the rk carbs so probly a good idea to do it, ive read up the how to on 400grey and a few other websites just wondering now where i can get the 118 and 120 main jets from?

Here ya go man. I just bought 118s, 120s and 122s. The 122s may be overkill, but I'm intending on a very short pipe in the future..

You guys must love me, keeping you busy with my simple questions and noobish knowledge haha,
Here is my next one, Does anyone know where the mounting points are for frame sliders on the NC30? I can see two but they are both on the engine and Im not completely keen to put them there although I am going to get a bracket made up so I dont have to cut my fairings, and that would reduce alot of the risk of the engine been damaged in a fall/crash

The good ones replace the engine mount bolt. The cheap ones go in the fairing bracket.

Just raised the needles today to help out the midrange. Lowered the float height back to stock settings. Running a lot better and the mid range is great now... still not the best at the low end though.

my nc30 feels like its not getting enough fuel when below 9000rpm in 5th and 6th gear? (4th only sometimes). Not a problem from 2-redline in 1st second and 3rd gears, so can't actually be a fueling problem, but it feels like a bike does when its running out of gas... what could it be? problem with the de-restrictor thing or something?
