Well the slightly more advanced NC30 lump can go around the clock as long as you keep changing the oil every 3 or 4 k.

NC24... Well its less impressive. If you get the valve clearance done, make sure its by someone who has done VFR400 valves a few times before.


Are you doing the fork seals yourself? Its an utter cunt of job on those forks.

Everyone i speak to says those v4s are bulletproof. No Exaggeration. 100,000k miles + ive heard...

Do as rob says, valve clearences and servicing and it'll go on for ages.

Ive got the cbr400 with about 26,000 miles and it runs so nicley. the carbs need balancing though/adjusting, but apart from that it runs really well.

Hope it lasts at least as long as yours...Cant see why it wouldnt...

good luck
