Re: VFR400 rebuild
Tony's right, that's a UK spec slide. Pretty sure they're slightly heavier and made out of metal rather than plastic.
Too spensiff!!!

Re: VFR400 rebuild

Re: VFR400 rebuild
I think you guys are right, there s no point messing with the jetting till iv passed my test and run her. I will keep her as she is just replace the screws and gaskets and fit new 124 jets to match what's there for now. You never know, it could be set up well now, I won't know till I ride her. I orderd some washers and 120 n 122 jets alswel, so those will be lying around if needed. I also orderd a high flow airfilter, cos the one that come out didn't look standard....

Costs more than that..and it is easy, so get on it lad.
It is time consuming and new shims cost a fiver....so save the dollar and sort it
