Awesome find. I had a similar deal with my 01, ridden only to the MoT every year then sat idle when he could no longer ride it. I'd check the age of the tyres too, the charging system (I installed a voltmeter and have a Mosfet R/R waiting to be fitted when the current one shows signs of deterioration) and maybe consider servicing or upgrading the suspension. I also installed braided steel brake lines throughout and serviced the callipers installing new seals - made a big difference to the brakes. De-Pairing also helps. The story of my 01 is here. Good luck with her, keep us posted.

Hi all, I’ve just picked up what I would consider to be an excellent example of a 2001 VFR 800. The body work is in near perfect condition and even underneath there is very little corrosion on what I believe is everything original other than a cheap end can. It’s just had an oil, brake fluid and coolant change. And a new battery. No record of spark plugs or valve clearance, it’s something I’ll probably do over the winter. The bike has covered just shy of 20k. By all accounts it’s spent the last 10 years or so sat in someone’s garage however the previous owner did get it MOT’d (UK yearly vehicle check that has to be done by law for it to be road legal) which at least means it was turned over and ridden a few miles at least every year. Is there anything else you would recommend to check? I’m on a 600+ mile trip next weekend so I’m happy it’s safe to ride so I’m thinking more for the benefit of long term ownership.

In my mind, pre-98 versions are the most suitable for a streetbiker conversion because of their frame embracing the engine till the swingarm pivot, and for prettiest the rear part. Also the conversion to a double sided swingarm sounds good to me, but I'm a bit concerned about the rear cylinders exhaust pipe path, since originally they take place in the void left by the missing side of the swingarm. I think it's not impossible, but surely it requires a certain commitment. Metalscorpio made some very good job in that sense, but didn't actually fixed the issue: he let the rear pipes come off the tail

Yeah, maybe so... but at least I'm sure. I mean I was guessing that things would be fine, given that I had the bike running for a few minutes... but to quite honest, I wanted to take a sample anyhow. The tank will be coming off in the near future to see if I can fix or replace the 'Sender' inside so as to get an accurate fuel gauge. At present the fuel guage flashes at one bar no matter how much fuel is in the tank. For anyone who cares to watch the conclusive and decisive moments of my redundant diagnostics, and one of the most pointless videos on youtube hahah Here it is:

I’m keeping the Sssa, i was referring to the tail section and seat unit/ subframe.

Thanks for the feedback so far, came across this product and I really like the idea 😄 Skunklock Chemical , I wonder if it's available in the UK!

A VFR-based streetfighter without the SSSA would be...unusual. It can be done, but most swing arm conversions go the other way! You'd probably have better luck looking for Yam R6 SSSA conversion threads and reverse the process documented there. The most important swing arm dimension is probably the pivot width and shaft diameter, but you'd first need to figure out how the shock and linkage are going to work. The VFR SSSAs and linkages are designed to work with a shock which has a very strong spring and a very short travel. Generally, I'd think that if you're converting to a conventional swing arm, you would probably also want to convert to a conventional shock and shock linkage at the same time. Good luck! Ciao, JZH

FWIW, any 6th-gen part with "MBG" in its part number is a 5th-gen part already. Ciao, JZH

Parts arrived as promised. Very good customer service, I will be a repeat customer. Salut, en suivant vos échanges sur les tendeurs de chaîne pour VFR, ça m’a donné envie de tester quelque chose de différent pour me détendre après le travail. Un ami m’a parlé d’un site avec des bonus pour les joueurs de France et j’ai essayé le plinko game. Au début, j’ai perdu quelques petites mises, puis j’ai pris un peu plus de risque et j’ai décroché un gros gain. Depuis, c’est devenu mon petit rituel du soir, et les bonus pour la France rendent le jeu encore plus agréable. Keep us posted

GACK!!!!!

So much ado about Nothing.

certainly looks better than what came out of my tank when i first bought it

Hope you weren't smoking at the time!🤯 Fuel would show a distinct bottom layer if there is much water in there.

Wheels, front axle and discs are all the same.

👍👍👍 What mellow said.

New thread but is probably useful. Since the 5th gen bikes are 24 to 27 years old, more and more parts are getting listed as not available in the parts fisches. But many parts still listed for the 6th also are the same or very simular to the 5ths and will work fine. Recent example... This rear brake guide snapped off and the new 6th is near identical.. 5th vs 6th Anyway I think Terry confirmed that 6th gen insulators will work on 5th gens... Would like to continue building this thread. If you could plz.... List your 6th parts you have used lately or have found for a fact that they also work on 5th gens. Lets see how far we can go with this. Thanks all and cheerz

That is exactly what happened Terry. At least I got a fuel sample though. Thanks.

Regarding the fuel return line, this is part of the way fuel pressure is regulated to the injectors. The pump generates excess pressure, and the fuel pressure regulator allows excess pressure to drain back to the tank. I think this circulation also helps to cool the pump when the level is low. The FPR also takes a vacuum signal from an intake tract and this is used to adjust pressure up and down so the fuel pressure remains constant relative to the intake vacuum. I've only ever disconnected the return line when the tank was flipped over on its back (safe to do by the way, the cap will seal tight). I doubt it has any kind of check valve in the tank so my guess is fuel will flow out when the hose is removed.

Thanks guys, i’ve come across that bike previously on fb. Great looking though 👍
