Re: VFR400 rebuild
nice one tony, can all this be bought from RO. im guessing id need to hunt down the rvf rubbers. whats the stainless bolts for too?
i know its a bit hard to say what ill need befor taking them apart, i know you guys are good but not fkin physic
, iv heard you almost have to jump on the carbs to get them back in too, ill make a evening out of reading cammos guied for sure. is the air filter located around there too, just thinking of anything else i could replace while im there, as you say, fk going in more than once! lol

Re: VFR400 rebuild
RVF rubbers available from rick, the bolt kit replaces all the crappy crosshead screws with nice 3mm allen key stainless bolts, it'll make putting them back together and taking them apart again a much nicer experience.
No need to jump on the carbs with the RVF rubbers, just grease them up a bit and they almost fall in. i find the best way is to loosen the lower rubber clips aswell then do them up with the carbs in place just make sure all the clamps are easy to get to before putting the carbs on.
Id order the jets you need now, saves having to wait putting them back together plus your know whats in there is right, current jets could be worn/drilled etc. Unlikely but when i work on carbs i dont wanna be taking the fuckers apart more times than i have to.
