new vfr owner looking for advise

just got my 92 rc36 up and running after buying a damaged bike about six months ago. looking to do a bit of touring with the old man and this seemed like an awesome bike for the money as well as an awesome bike all around. i can say with only a week of commuting under my belt that was an understatement. so far i have changed the oil, chain and sprockets, cleaned up some dodgy wiring and repaired the terrible sub frame damage left to me by the previous owner. it looks like the regulator rectifier has been swapped out, braided steel lines on the front brakes, and a rear fairing off a 98 r6 i think. shes a real hodge podge but it all seems solid underneath, starts easy, idles fine, rides straight, shifts slick. it still needs fork seals and tires (yikes). it has a little stumble between 9-11k revs but im assuming that its gummed up carbs from sitting for too long and that the solution is the ride the piss out of it (crossing my fingers). what other gremlins should i look for? are there any standard things i need to deal with?
Thanks
oh yeah, pics

 

Hodge podge is looking good. IMO. Fork seals can be very important, on one of my previous bikes I hadn't noticed a weeping seal. It made itself known to me when I applied the brakes and there wasn't near as much stopping force as I was accustomed too. The fork oil had made its way down the fork leg and onto the brake pads! Yikes! Have you looked at the condition of your brake and clutch fluid, not so much the safety issue, but just sayin. Best of luck with your ride.

 

Thanks, for what can only be considered an old bike i can't believe how fun it is. Torque all over, solid power, and awesome noises all the time. good call on the fluids, I'll flush the brake and clutch fluid this weekend. Right front disk is wet with shock oil. Do you have any opinion on whether i should do the fork slider bushings when I do the seals? And of course I should replace the front pads, and give the disc a thorough scrubbing.

 

Well you're going to have to fully disassemble the fork to do the seal, so replacing the bushings is very easy at that point. If you have the option of leaving the bike disassembled, you can wait and see what condition the bushings are in before ordering the parts, they should have nice even grey teflon coating on the sliding surfaces. If you can see copper through them, they're toast.

You should look for the reason the seal has failed, often you'll have a rock ding in the tube with a raised lip that will cut the new seal. You can smooth that down with a file and fine sandpaper.

 

replaced the fork seals and sliders. having damping in both forks and clean brakes makes a real difference. to accommodate my t-rex arms i swapped in a set of dirt bike bars on a set of clamps. and to improve my adventure cred and night saftey i installed a pair of led flood lights. and pics for the curious.

 

Cool bike, them floods are fookin bright

 

the lights are freakishly bright. and as a bonus they were cheap as hell. 18 bucks for the pair from amazon. they only pull 18 watts a piece!
