I have a thread on removing the rust and re-coating the tank Fuel Tank Restoration I had to do it to my 5th gen
-
I had the same problem and it also happened to 2 other nuts on the fuel pump housing. I got a professional welder to fix it. he did a great job for €50. He welded new bolt heads in, its been fine since with a new gasket & o-ring used on install. Its not something you want leaking.

Welcome to the forum. Your new 6th gen is doing well on those high miles, good find.

Idle issues after coolant flush
toreckman replied to sebthenorwegian's topic in Fifth Generation VFR's
I flushed my 2001 system with distilled water and vinegar and never had that issue, so could be an issue with your wax idle unit. When I did it, the temps just rose faster, because there was no coolant in the system, but didn't increase the idle rpm's. -
Welcome to the forum. 968 miles in 1 day 😲. How many hours? Lovely bike. Did it need much for the MOT?
-
Welcome to the forum. Lovely 1200F you got there.

Welcome to the forum. Thats a well organised garage you have there 🤩, lovely vfr too, looks tidy. 1999 mode alsol, so no cat or auto choke, better headers, bonus 👍 You will be happy with the SH847 too, it can handle more current and runs cooler. Did you get to ride the vfr at all yet?

very tidy, what year is it?
-
I got one last year myself. How do you find it?

Beautiful 5th gen you have there. Looks like its in great condition. Welcome to the forum.

JT sprockets also have the rubber. I picked this up recently - https://jkmoto.ie/product/jt-front-sprocket-jtf339-16rb-16-tooth-pitch-530-rubber-damper/ Its the 16T version, they also do the stock 17T version. I went with 16/43 on my 01 vfr, not a huge difference, but I do notice a little more grunt at low rpms.

No, I tried pausing too.

Maybe someone took it for a spin . Too nice of a bike to leave lying around 😂

Thanks, very tidy 5th gen. I like the deleted rear pegs, think I will do the same. Looks great. Are your downpipes, stock? Its looking like I will have to get a mid pipe fabricated and a custom high mount bracket, unless anyone else has a better idea? Hopefully I can find someone local to make the pipe.
