Spreeweiler Posted May 31, 2017 Share Posted May 31, 2017 I just picked up a 2013 VFR1200f DCT with low miles. Besides replacing the crappy oem tires and bleeding the brake fluid along with an oil change. Is there anything else I need to be on the lookout for? Thanks kind folks!

Spreeweiler Posted June 2, 2017 Author Share Posted June 2, 2017 Thanks guys, I think I'm gonna vinyl wrap her to the 2012 Blue and add the Oem Center stand with sliders all around. Is there a 600 mile break in period? I'm anxious to Guhl flash her as well... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
andy Posted June 2, 2017 Share Posted June 2, 2017 Try Plasti Dip. Inexpensive rattle cans and mine is nearly two years old. Maybe it's time for me to peel it off and ride with the stock blue, or another color. Downside is it's more of a flat color. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Spreeweiler Posted June 18, 2017 Author Share Posted June 18, 2017 Should i wait until 600 miles to do the drive shaft recall? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
andy Posted June 18, 2017 Share Posted June 18, 2017 It's possible the recall was performed. Elsewhere on this form this was reported. Posted March 22, 2016 · Report post I was told yesterday that when the test is carried out and passes a pinch mark is out on the drive shaft UJ. When the shaft is replaced they put a punch mark on the right hand subframe rail under the seat. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
