New guy here!

I just recently bought an 06 VFR800 that had been repo'd! I have no history on it other than it's be straight pipped and has 4400 miles on it! I've got some stuff that I need to do on it as there is a possible head gasket leak etc and I've been searching, on here and the web but does anyone have a link for a service manual for this bike? I've spend about the last 45 minutes trying to find one, so I have searched. Found a thread on here back from 2010 but the link is now dead...


Thanks so much!

 

4400 miles would not causing the leak............unless they abuse the bike badly. I would suggest to clean her up good. Lube her up, oil change, spark plugs, oil and air filter and see if she doing well before touching the motor. my 2cents

 

Welcome aboard.

Try clicking here, and then it should be the first post, the first link. >>> http://vfrworld.com/forums/specifications/3161-downloadable-parts-catalogs-service-manuals.html

Its actually a very large .pdf file. It worked/opened on my computer. (Not that I looked through it, but it did work).

 

Awesome thanks for the link! Well there is some milkie white residue on the oil cap so that in conjunction with the smell it got me a bit worried! Going to try to acquire a compression gauge and check compression when I do the plugs and all!

I'm having issues navigating the site, mainly the search feature as you can't search per forum, only the entire forum! I'm reading a lot about charging issues on certain year bikes etc, and I know after briefly riding the bike today the battery was dead, and it started with no problem. Any suggestions on this? Going to have the battery tested and hopefully that's it...

 

Yea, I'm semi worried about if the exhaust is good for the bike or not. Doesn't seem to back fire, but is VERY loud.. It actually sounds amazingly good, very throaty and deep! I'd like an aftermarket exhaust over stock as I'm wanting to be heard to an extent!
