Yeah will do :)

Yeah i've been playing with the gearing commander to figure and trawling through forums to decide on gearing and it looks like 15/40 is a good compromise for street riding. I found that with the 13/40 that was on the bike I was having to make it scream when setting off at the lights to get...

even though my chain tool hasn't arrived I got impatient and decided to install the new sprockets and give everything a thorough clean. Turns out that it was running 13/40 gearing, which made the first gear a little short for my liking when setting off from the lights, hopefully the new 15/40...

Chain and sprockets arrived. I realised that it had a rivet masterlink, so ordered a new chain tool which didn't arrive on Friday :( lucky I have the day off in Wednesday for an exam so straight afterwards I'll be able to throw them on :D

yep already a member - ive gone through a few hundred pages of Honda V4 threads and read anything that I can learn from for the future :)

Ordered new chain, sprockets and carby seals. I'll be running 15/40 gearing as I've heard that it's ideal for the road

Not sure, I will have to check when I change the chain. The RVF NC35 had the non-rebuildable shock whereas the NC30 had the rebuildable shock with reservoir, which has also been put on my bike

Took the bike for her maiden voyage yesterday for registration and I must say that I am impressed with this bike! I put 50 km’s on her and loved every moment of it. It feels very stable and predictable on the road as well. A few things that I noted: - It has much more torque than my CBR...

Small update: Li-ion battery and Renthal grips arrived, looking forward to installing them this weekend. I have also booked the bike in for rego on tuesday - can't wait! <a href="http://s141.photobucket.com/user/nossta/media/IMAG0882.jpg.html" target="_blank"><img...

Also, the seller told me that he had to drill out the rivets on the muffler and put them 10mm to the side as they had corroded, so the muffler doesn't face down like it should, it's facing to the side and slightly down now that I have reset it but I'll have to drill and add new stainless rivets...

And it appears that the bike has the NC30 shock with the remote res, which is great news as it is rebuildable, unlike the NC35 shock :D

Also, the muffler is upside down. It's an aftermarket unit so it was spun around to hide the logo for rwc

Bike arrived today and she's beautiful :D came with a Haynes manual too which I'm happy about. Idles well and sounds amazing. First things to do will be to replace the battery and tighten the chain, then ride her and figure out what else I need to do :D

Yeah they are brilliant looking bikes. How much did the Rb exhaust cost you if you don't mind me asking?

Yeah dw, my legs aren't very long :) I'll see how they feel, if they are uncomfortable I'll just keep them for track days/twisties. For half price I couldn't let them go :D

The plan at this stage is to keep the bike looking the way it is as I love the old Jap look of the RVF. The seller mentioned that it currently has an aftermarket fairing kit on it as he slipped on some diesel at the servo and dinged the original fairings, which are included in the sale, so I...

I did notice that, I will have to take a look when it arrives. The seller says that it has always been garaged so hopefully there wont be any rust from rain getting in

I'm not sure, I thought that it was the stock wheel but i'll be sure to take a closer look when it arrives! Yeah they do use ER9EH plugs - bloody expensive. the plugs for my cbr are under $5 each but the rvf ones are over $20 each!

G'day Guys, As some of you know, I recently purchased an RVF400. It initially failed the RWC as the front discs were a fraction of a mm under thickness, so the seller has replaced them and is putting it back in for RWC tomorrow and will be delivering it to me this weekend :D :D The...

Yeah it's unfortunate that it has to go but i've got a real soft spot for the RVF so couldn't pass up the opportunity. I will be unrestricted come august so I was going to upgrade anyway but now that I'm getting the RVF I might keep that for a while. When I pick up the bike i'll be sure to post...
