New to Bikes and VFR's!

Greetings! So, I recently got a '96 VFR through a trade and wanted to brag about my deal, introduce myself and ask a question. I bought a 4x4 '02 Rancher for $600 a few months ago, put new brakes and tires on it for another $200. About 2 weeks ago I placed the quad on CL for a trade for a street bike or dirt bike. Someone offered a '96 VFR750 as a straight trade... I figured that there had to be something wrong with it... I met the guy and the VFR ran perfect, only has 10k miles and 1 small crack on the front right fairing that he did that morning when he was loading the bike up. Needless to say, still an amazing deal. All in all, I only spent $800 on the bike and it is in fantastic condition.

Now, my question... if I replace the air filter with a K&N do I need to jet the bike? Also, along the same lines would I need to jet the bike if I add a Twobros slip?

 

Welcome to vfrw! You got a great deal there!

 

no on the K&N and most likely on the slip on.

welcome to the madness and post some pics when you can

 

Congratulations on the deal do you have pics?

 

Welcome aboard, Kain.

 

Great trade. Welcome to the forums!

 

You Pirate! What a deal! I have spent more than that on tires for my truck and the VFR lasts so much longer than a set of tires! Of course We LOVE pictures!

 

Sweet deal. Welcome to the madness...:tongue::biggrin:

 

YOU STOLE THAT BIKE!!!

Congrats on the great deal! Just to give you an idea, based on what you described that bike could easily fetch between $2700 and $3500 if you decided to sell it. I'd just keep it since you can easily put close to 100,000 miles on it if taken care of properly.

Regards,
Rollin

 

As requested... (I'll post more when I get a chance! The bike is in storage right now...
