VFR400 Body Beautiful?
Moby | Blogs | 17/08/2010 08:40amI’ve spent time sorting the electrics, fuelling, suspension, brakes and various other things that needed attention and although it functions,it could look a bit better. The bike came with its original plastics, and boasted features such as one missing seat lug, a missing centre panel on one side, a cracked lower right fairing and a scratched seat unit.
VFR400 Shock Treatment
Moby | Blogs | 27/07/2010 10:11amSorting my electrical, braking and fuelling problems meant I was free to ride the VFR more than a couple of miles without fear of it breaking. I knew the rear shock was a little on the soft side, but one spin soon reminded me it was more saggy than Bruce Forsyth’s ball bag.
VFR400 NC30 – MOT Woes
Moby | Blogs | 17/06/2010 14:08pmAfter the carbs were sorted the NC30 was due an MoT. I was pretty confident it would pass, but that would’ve been too easy, and it was – it failed on a sticky front brake light switch and a binding rear brake.
VFR400 – Fuelish Boy
Moby | Blogs | 15/06/2010 09:43amAfter the brakes were sorted I actually got the chance to ride the VFR in the dry, although doing so immediately revealed another problem, this time with the fuelling.
VFR400 Brake Nightmare
Moby | Blogs | 24/05/2010 12:00pmAfter paying some attention to the basics, I needed to concentrate on the more serious issue of the completely shot rear brake and cracked front disc. Sorting new front and rear discs was simple and another visit to Wemoto meant I had a rear master cylinder rebuild kit and new seals for the rear caliper. I brought the bike over to our workshops and then asked Moby for some help, since he’s got a piston puller and a wealth of experience that I don’t.
It’s A 400cc Showdown
Moby | Blogs | 21/05/2010 12:53pmHello Fast Bikes readers, my name’s Simon, or ‘Pip’ to my ‘friends’. I work in the FB office, and I’m new to biking – so Moby thought it would be good if I shared my experiences with you here on the FB website. I think he’s just working on the theory that I’m bound to make a tit of myself through a lack of experience, and the fact that I’ve bought a needy VFR400 will make good practical advice and tips for readers who also aren’t rich enough to be able to buy a minter.
