I already found the links posted above. They're very good though.

I found the japanese microfiche here too http://www.vfr400.pwp.blueyonder.co.uk/

Duncan, do you have the japanese manual in electronic format? If you do I wouldn't mind getting a copy if thats ok.
the microfiche is good for parts numbers but the diagrams are sometimes difficult to understand.

I can't wait to get stuck in to this project....just got to get my uni dissertation out of the way!! :)

Check out this link too mate, it gives a good how to on stripping and rebuilding the nc24 to replace or repair the collector box. scroll to the bottom of the page and click on engine removal.

Those Microfiche are crappy and incomplete

Go there where you can get a full list of part numbers in english, with descriptions and prices and bike picture of each!

yeah you're right. those images are much clearer. Thanks very much :)

A quick update folks...

I was checking over the boxes of parts and have noticed a few things are missing. Firstly, there doesn't seem to be a rectifier/regulator. From what I've read the original ones were not so great to start with, so I kinda expected to have to replace this. Probably going to go for the electrexworld one rather than a cheap chinese one.

Also, there isn't a battery so I'll have to get one of those too. I'm also missing the rear undertray with battery box. I saw a few of these on ebay but wasn't sure what the box looks like exactly and what sort of lugs, rubber parts, etc should be there. If anyone has good photos of this part It would be good to see. :)

I'm going to try and get some pictures up soon but I'm very busy with uni just now.

Thanks for all the help so far

I took quite a few pics of mine as I was stripping it down. If you pm or email me the particular areas you need I will send them on.

Dont' get the electrexworld one. They die to easily.

Spend £25 on a second hand 2003 - 2005 R6 Reg/Rec instead. Will last a lot longer, and your going to need to save money as it'll cost you an arm and a leg to sort the bike out.

Battery you want is a YB9L-B, Tayna.co.uk do a good Varta one (you'll need to buy the acid too)

Complete rear undertray for £8.95 -- Bargain!

My parts book is not in very good condition and I think it is a photocopy of a photocopy but it is a number 6

Ah i've got an origianl 6. Nevermind :-)

cmsnl has all the fiche up from revision 7 (contains everything) so there useful!
