New member, picking up a new VFR800 tomorrow!

Howdy! New to VFRs, not new to bikes - this will be # 37 for me I think. I own a moto shop in San Luis Obispo, CA and have wanted a VFR for a few years... found one a few nights ago! Going to pick it up tomorrow.



Approx 18k miles, solo rear cowl, new battery, Two Bros Stash Pipes... and a blown up head LOL. Ill be replacing the front head on it and hopefully have it going soon!

Glad to be here.

A blown up head??? Wow, I've never heard of a real failure like that on a 6th Gen. It sounds like you know what you're doing, so I'm sure it's in good hands. Congratulations and welcome to forum.

 

Well, the info from the seller:

"According to my dealership, it needs a new Front Cylinder Head.

Apparently, two of the spark plugs either fell out or broke off ruining the cylinder head"

Thats about all I know, but at the price I got it for.... no questions were needed lol!

 

Well it sure looks like a nice ride! Let's hope the dealer was full of sh%$# and it is something simple. Hopefully the issue doesn't extend to piston damage and all the fun that comes with that scenario.

Keep us posted....

 

Welcome to the nuts house....Reg the modernator of this forum is closes to you. I will have him and other to check out your garage. Nice bike hope the problem is not what the dealer said.

 

Cool! I sent a few PMs out to members I saw in the local area saying hi and letting them know about the shop. We also have a local riding forum where we do weekly rides, track day events, etc - would love to have some of you locals over there! SloRiders.com • Index page
