    The second (1VJ )model 1986-1987 ruined the reputation of the 34L/55W engine. Placing the oil cooler in front of the engine proved a bad idea... Adding air cut out in the lower part of the front mudguard would be a start.. So this being a 1989 is good PS: I recall you pointind me to a spare engine in the Netherlands for export to Finland....

    You can bypass the fuel pump (and disconnect it). Do have have a full tank.

    override switch is easy, the fan is triggered via ground. Run a wire from the fan's negative connector, instal an on/off switch and run the wire to ground.

    My Morini 🦘 has a dry clutch, book says 20-50. I first used up the 10-40 I had left. Next she'll get https://www.louis.nl/nl/saito-motorolie-sae-20w-50-4t-mineral-4-liter-10038558?filter_bike_id=4472&filter_article_number=10038558 Yep, cheap as chips.... Lambertini's engine has a lot of interesting features. Like no actual oil feed to the head's tappets/springs, but "oil vapour". So the less sophisticated the oil the better...

    Just enjoy the ride. I would leave the bike pretty much as it is and you have been riding it till now. After the first 100km set it 2 clicks harder and ride another 100km to see if you prefer it or not. It is easy to overthink suspension, I used to do that too. Been riding a few times 2,000km in 7 days on this. WOT up and down curvy mountainroads No suspension adjusment...

    Temp gauge is a bit slow yeah, just as the fuel gauge stays up and than drops like a brick. No worries. If FL gets hot, a simple flick switch allows you to let the fan run. Wire the fan's negative connector to the frame with the switch inline.

    Loosen the rad's mounting points and put a diy wedge in so you have maximum space. Can't get a torque wrench in so tighten 'a mani' as my Italian pals tell me. You could torque the rear ones and 'get a feel' on the force required. But in practise, tighten by hand and give it 1/4 turn works for me.

    Oh yeah, lest not forget this one

    Aye, best is to attain a "ZEN" state of mind, the art of motorcycle maintenance one 😎

    Lest I forget to give her some TLC.... (and not just the Italians....)

    Fixed that for you...

    Yeah #9 provides a little "cover" over the tiny hole (not blocking it). Must be a Honda engineer waking up at night with a vision.... https://www.bike-parts-honda.com/honda-motorcycle/750-MOTO/VFR/1997 The VFR800fi (1998-1999) had the comdom mirrors like the VFR750F. The VFR800fi 2000-2001 (hense Y2k) had these must better looking ones.

    "to be able to wheelie better" Buy a Suzuki?

    Being Dutch (not the tiniest people) make them even smaller...... Here my pal Kees on his 125 Ducati scrambler. 2000km in a week's mountain riding no problem either...
