first i read about camchain tensioners soon to be sorted by shaun
then i found out how slow it was on paper but said to myself speed isnt what i want (i do hahaha :oops: )and she looked so good so i got on with it
now rectifier is in stages of breakdown 13v tickover drops to 12.4v as you rev supposed to be 14 at 3 or 4 thow
also lh handle bar hits fairing on rhlock i have to take of risers
small problems i guess but my VFR800 never has probs just key in start and goes as fast midrange spoilt i guess
the vtr looks like brand new brand new


yes i got to grow a a pair and stop winging (but i really wanted gen2 busa which i couldnt have :oops: )
cheers for your insult mac :thumbup: top man
ps i dont know how to post pics

Fix it and ride it, or sell it.

Or paint it pink and give it to the wife, then it's her problem.
(you'll probably then have a divorce to pay for, so will end up having to sell it anyway).

Can't think of any other choices apart from ignore it and wait until it rusts away.

And Mac probably has three, to go with the additional digits.
It's not falling off, it's an upgrade opportunity.
