Honda VFR400 NC30 1993 Recommission

Fresh in this week we have a mint Late 1993 J plated VFR400 NC30. Another recommission project from a good customer of ours.  Whilst this bike is a mint example externally, on initial first inspection, it became evident that all was not well with this NC30.  Off loading it from the van, we started the bike (eventually) not because of a flat battery (its running a nearly new BS BTX7A) but because the fuel tap had been previously removed, disassembled and not put back together or installed correctly. Even with the tap set to gravity feed on the reserve setting and the choke set at various degrees, fuel was seemingly not reaching the carbs and it took more than 10 minutes to get the bike fired up, to subsequently find it was only running on 3 cylinders… strike 2, suspect failed plug on number 2 cylinder!

RVF400 NC35 Workshop Refresh

Through the workshop this week comes a Honda RVF 400 NC35. Coming out of hibernation after more than 3 years in storage, we are seeing more and more bikes like these at GF Racing. As we know RVF prices have always been strong, but of late they have taken a similar path to that of the 2 stroke market price rises we have seen in recent years!

It’s great to see that our customer intends to use his bike on the road this coming season.

Aside from the standard service items of Oil and filter change, this bike is being treated to one of the recent ingenious Oil Drain valves made by the German Company Stalbus, more on this later in the article… Other work includes, Clutch Kit, Brand New GF Refurbished Carbs, Steering Head Bearings. Refreshed Braking System Front and Rear, Suspension setup (inc Nitron Rear Sport Shock), Shod with New Bridgestone BT090’s front and rear……. and finally we will be using this bike next month to Dyno Develop our new Twin Stack Exhaust Systems…. again more on that later!!
