ok

our VFR400 NC30 self destructed tonight
in a random ohhhh thats cheap moment we've just this second won and engine on ebay (for not too much money)
BUT its advertised as a NC21/24/30 is that right?? dont know much about the 21 and 24!

Thanks

this is the pic of the lump we've won

shit ! you're not having much luck with engines this summer mate

[Fluffy]

tell me about it! someone has a serious thing against me having a bike in what little summer we have,
similar events last year meat i was bikeless lol

[nc21man]

That's an NC21 engine, so almost certainly won't go in an NC30 frame (but I'm not 100% sure).
Unlucky mate

NC21 engine as said before, not sure what that weird pipe going into the oil filler is though?

IIRC the mounting points are different, it'll prob fit in an NC24 frame?

[CMSMJ1]

That pipe wll be from the crankcase breather I guess.

The 21 and 24 motors are not going to fit in the 30 frame so that is not cool.

Doomah has an engine going for sale I think

[Fluffy]

how sure are you all its an NC21?
I've been comparing pics from the ebay add to stock shots of nc30 engines and have failed to spot the differences

preying it'll fit as tbh we're paying next to nothing for it!

[CMSMJ1]

The oil filler holes are in different places...

[nemesis]

It's defo a nc21 motor . I was bidding on it too.
The motors are completely different so if you decide to sell, pm me and I'll still have it .
Good luck looking for a 30 motor

Sorry Fluffy, but that is 100% not an NC30 motor. Wrong colour, wrong shape and wrong design. Problems you might encounter will be chain/sprocket alignment, you'll need the correct carbs, throttle tube and cables etc etc.
