Earning some ?? on the side. VFR400 service

[Klause]

Full service on a friends nc30 (valves, carb setup,oil, sparks etc).

God the spark plugs are so cool, tiny buggers.

Only 2 valves were in limit! £40 on shims. Hole in the radiator, vacum pipe not connected right, no wonder it was running like crap.

That colour scheme is superb! I absolutely love that!!!

Is it original fairings painted up or a copy cat fairing bought pre-painted?

I want that one.... (said in a Little Britain-esque voice!)

Took it back to mine. Did the brakes today and gave it a clean couldn't stand it being dirty! Chain looked like shit but cleaned up really nice. Some people don't even know how to oil/clean a chain!!

it's alot of work so I wouldn't do it for free.

I've done many of valves clearances on my friends bikes for free. But normally the deal is for free is that they're at hand, I teach them so next time they can do it.

I was also getting to the point of doing so much work for other people i wasn't getting anything out of it. Giving to much and no return. I've done tyres by hand, 3x valves cleanances, carb balancing, cam belts, re wired a bike after stolen, fork seals, so many jobs for a beer etc.

Honda quoted £500-600 and not including other things im doing. So nerrr.

klause you should just do some guides for everyone here. so peeps are just scared to touch there bikes.

I've saved soo much money from doing stuff my self. if I havent I dont think i would of ever been able to afford to run one bike let alone 3.

I've done a small write up on ducati valves. But theres tonnes of write ups on vfr valve gear. The hardest part is putting the shims back into the buckets they sit in. Almost dropped two into the cam gears, luckily i thought about it and stuffed tissue down holes and had a magnet pen at hand.
