actually there isn't much of a big prob for the VFR. Maybe you should see what is the mileage. the first 30k km usually nothing much, only usual servicing and valve clearance. The next 60k km probably need things like bearing change, cone bearing etc. But this differs to every rider as to what and how they ride.

 

All those mentioned above are minor issues that is easily detectable except valve clearance. Maybe you should

 

1. listen to the engine sound, hear if it sounds weird etcetc

2. check for wheel alignment. Take a short ride and see if it feels weird. I found out that letting go of hand and bike goes 1 side doesn't its spoilt. Many of my frens' 1st hand bike also doesn't go straight though.

3. check if temp rise up fast or not, to detect colling system problem

4. check mounts n tabs to see if it had a buang before?

 

There is a forumer named vfrT. He ride a non-vtec version. Maybe you can ask him in more details as he had owned the machine for a much longer time than me.

 

my suggestions aint' much...Hope these helps..

Wats the machine price?

 

I bought my 99VFR800 for $10.5K in May 03. So I believe the bike you mention will cost less than 10K.

There are many specialty shops in Sg selling bike gears. It depends on your budget and needs. For track days, the Johor Circuit (PG) and Sepang are not very sticky about using leathers, although that is the best for self preservation.

If you need to do double duty for touring and the occassional track days, your best bet is to get a good Cordura touring jacket and pants. Removalable waterproof lining is good so that you dont drown in your own sweat at the track.

The jacket and pants MUST come with good CE protection at the shoulder, elbows, knees, side of hips and preferable a back protector - altho the last can be easily purchased separately. A shin guard is good too. Also, good FF helmet and gauntlet leather gloves.

 

Actually, that's what I use when I go on tour and also for the track hehe.

I took a spill in PG and survived with minmal injury cos of all those protection.

 

To shave cost, try hunting for used items which are often a fraction of the cost.

 

For new gears try at Motorworld, LAB, JR (Dainese - expensive but good stuff), Chiap Lee or Chong Aik. All stock reputable brands.
