I've got just over 23000 miles on the chain and sprockets. I was hoping to use the OEM sizes, but aftermarket stuff runs the gamut of 520 through...
Guys, The chain and sprockets will need replacing on the 8th Gen. I found a kit, but it's a 530 chain rather than the OEM 525 size. Does this...
Frankly I'd get these instead: https://www.motopumps.com/shop/vfr-bar-risers They are much cheaper, equal in quality, and compared to OEM more...

$773 + tax is not too shabby at all for all the work you had done. Looks like they only changed a normal valve shim. At least you have the peace...
I tend to ride at a speed or gear that is either above VTEC transition, or not. Like Fink said, be nice to the engine when it's cold, after that...
