How badly worn are the tyres? Could be they have bumps/flat-spots on them?
This site is almost as good as the bike, welcome man.
A really heart warming story, keep up the good work!
Cycle a bit myself but its getting pretty dangerous in SA, guys get taken out regularly. That's why more and more people are turning to mountain...
Welcome, enjoy the bike!
That's always been an indication to me that the chain is shot. The chain on my 250 is bent (long story) and does the same thing.

The bike looks great, well done. Never knew much about the VFR/Interceptor before I got mine, now I know why people lusted after them back in the day!
Thanks for the help guys, fitted the fan anyway. Seems like its off a VFR 400, which would make sense as they are fairly common here in SA.
Welcome man.
Thanks for the replies guys. Next question, does anybody know which one it is? Has a number on it, SH693-12. Thanks

Thanks, I've got a little pc fan just been too lazy to fit it, I'd better do it.
