Hey Lifttruck
Now weekend is here thought I could send you some questions about the VTR.Mine is a 2000 with 59000 on it.The cam chain tensioners were looked at about 25000k ago.They seem a bit noisy how often should they be checked?Also what sort of mileage do you get out of a rear tyre with just ordinary road riding,I got 10000k out of last rear tyre and thought that was OK.The biggest problem in NZ is here our roads are stone chip sealed and that makes for a very abrasive road surface= quite rapid tyre wear also a real pain for stone chip damage on bodywork.
Would really appreciate your thoughts any any other helpful tips you might have.
Cheers
Pete

Sorry that should read NZ$2.12!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Hi Lifttruck
My Firestorm is off the road at present,need a new rear tyre and @NZ$300 and a Viffer to run as well!I will come back with some questions for you.Right now rushing to get ready for work.At NZ42.12 a litre here petrol is an expensive issue for two cars and two bikes.
Talk later and thanks for coming back.
Cheers

Hi LifttruckR
I am a friend of Richard Thompson and I am very keen to see that you are running a Yellow Firestorm and a Red 5th Gen VFR just like me would be keen to swop notes on the VTR.
