Hi All, I am considering buying a late model VFR800 (2001) and was wondering if anyone could give me advice on what I should be checking out? Or is there an FAQ on this anywhere? TIA FountainSpring.
Hello, Hope the bike is right ...I love them ... First check the everyday things . TIRES, Brakes , and if the R/R has every been replaced. There is a 50/50 chance it will have to . Whats the miles? Has it had any service. PLugs , chain ,oil changed....and Anti Freeze..etc. I have 12,000 on my ride and its also due for a chain. the guy before me had never changed the tires,brakes since there are only two, make sure they are in good shape. Other then that the R/R ,stator are the main problem areas for a VFR...GOOD LUCK... VFR Steve
