- Working on my gen 4 I am pleased to say my VFR is finally back together, and it passed its MOT (UK roadworthiness test) last week. ☺️ [image: 797377897_frontwheel.jpg.e14f74270815075d5d871c675c11a151.jpg] Before it I owned a Triumph Sprint…
- Working on my gen 4 Oh, I forgot to say I blocked off the grit intakes in the swingarm. Somewhere else online a guy used silver foil tape, so I just copied that idea. [image:…
- Working on my gen 4 By the way I don't have OCD, I have CDO. It's similar, but the letters are in alphabetical order 🙂. I got a good deal on a new YSS rear shock. [image: 1618000106_newshock1small.jpg.ae23b5ffbc02ff418574e744e8eaebfd.jpg]…

- Working on my gen 4 Do you know, I think I will do exactly that. Thank you! On Sunday I bought a used one on eBay as Dazed & Confused suggested. It arrived this morning and I'm just stripping the black paint off it. Don't think I will…
- Working on my gen 4 Hi everyone. This weekend I removed the swingarm, centre stand, linkages and brake calipers with the idea of getting these things renovated and checking/greasing the suspension bearings. Again I don't find the VFR an…
- Working on my gen 4 Just noticed where some of you guys are from - I have actually been in both Buffalo and San Jose on my two short trips to the USA. What are the chances of that? Landed in Buffalo and drove through it so see the falls.…
- Working on my gen 4 11 hours ago, jefferson That play in your sprocket looks fine to me. I had that with a brand new sprocket on. 8 hours ago, squirrelman how many miles on her ?? That's a bit of a relief, Jefferson. I recently owned an…
- Working on my gen 4 Took the shock out. What a footer, you have to remove seat, rear panels, fuel tank, rear coils and battery case to get at the top bolt. Anyway removing the shock reveals these two giant "grit intakes" in the swingarm. I…
- Working on my gen 4 Yes Cogswell, it's definitely a drain hole. [image: image.png.536107849610429e53a3c7be70c906b1.png] I will try and find a rubber grommet and just drain it from time to time. Yoshi, thanks for pointing out there's a…
- Working on my gen 4 Just a thread to document some of the work I am doing to my 750 which I only got two weeks ago. Today I decided to take the rear wheel off, clean around the swingarm and inspect and grease the eccentric bearing holder.…
