according to PS magazine guide.....

EBC Rear: FA143

91-Onwards VFR400 NC30
EBC Front: F A187HH

There is a gap between the codes for the front between the F and the A.. not sure what this means

Ferodo Rear: FDB496

91-onwards VFR400 NC30

also, my bike seems to have a 38 rear sprocket at the mo, havent checked thr front as yet but do peeps recomend the standard gearing??? or what would you say is the best gearing to go for??

cheers guys.

all brakes, chain and sprockets etc are the same on all the models of NC30.

easy..

15/40 with 525 pitch and 104 links is standard.

Job jobbed...

yo! cheers cmsm! exeactly what i wanted to hear...


would you say standard gearing is best? someones took the plesure of fitting a 38 R on my old girl.....do a lot of folks do this or is standard best!? cheers bud, just looking for opinions cos im wanting to buy a kit over the weekend.

oh, and what 525 pitch??

[Drunkn Munky]

If you still have the 15T front sprocket on then a 38T rear will make it sluggish as hell and definatly not recomended, 15/38 is standard RVF gearing.

525 pitch is the weight of your chain, 520 is prefered by some.

[lizard821000]

alright monkey, cool.
i havent checked the front so cant be sure, i know the rear is 38 though.....is the standard 15/40 the most common used or is it law to change this for the nc30?? what have you lads used and recomend ?? iv heard the 1st gear on the nc30 is silly tall, would a change in gearing do any positive changes to this or should i just go for standard? cheers

[Drunkn Munky]

1st gear is tall on the 30 but i like it, its much better than the 35. As for gearing it depend what you use it for, i found standard 15/40 gearing perfect for road riding, it redlined in 6th with ease so no need to drop the gearing but some recomend 15/42 for the road. If you take it on track the cheapest option is to just loose 1 tooth on the front which = roughly +3 on the rear.

[lizard821000]

yeah its gunna be my work hack for commutes on road, so sounds like the standard is fine then, cheers monkey.

you finished your mito build yet too? from pics iv seen looks tidy. was it a full overhual your doing?

[Drunkn Munky]

Its basically finished mate i just need to paint it. I didnt strip it completely as its already pretty good. Engines been rebuilt, Forks rebuilt, PV setup etc, brackets etc painted. Runs nice and is very clean, ive got all the decals for the MK2 lawson rep right down to the carbon trim.

And its for sale if your interested, either as it is or finished painted etc. Also have a Arrow pipe for it.
