New VTR owner

Post by Tombola89 »

Hello all,

My names Tom, I'm based around Norwich in Norfolk.

I've recently bought a red 1997 VTR.

I'm really impressed with it and I can see why people don't part with them easily!

Its neigh on standard apart from manual CCT's, handle bar risers and renthals which I like.

What I've done so far is;

1: Fuel petcock had a split
2: Replace the front screen
3: various bolts were missing, id say its had another engine at some point in its life

What I need to do;
1: Sort this creeping clutch!!

Ill save that for the technical section though
