Back with a bang and whimper

Hi All,
Just joined up. Back to biking after many many years and guess what the first bike is a VFR 800 02 model. Love the bike to bits, just bought it and it looks and feels like heaven on earth. Unfortunately I am not allowed to ride it just yet.
Have to finish one last bit to get a UK license (Mo 2) next week. So hopefully next weekend will be back on the roads and coming to grips with freedom. :biggrin:

I just sit on the bike start it and dream :smile:
Just started it now and some smoke started to come out from beneath the tank. It has just been serviced and the bike has a complete honda service history. But just wanted some opinions on possible issues. Completely heartbroken

Welcome aboard.
What kind of service was done recently?

 

A complete service along with the MOT and valve clearences. A bit of cleaning and TLC on the plastics.

 

Try dropping the plastic off and see what is burning. Have a fire extinguisher handy.
These bikes have been known to have electrical problems, or it could be nothing - oil, grease, or gasket material, left over from the service.
Check it out -
