Bad324 Posted September 17, 2012 Report Share Posted September 17, 2012 if its under 4k its a pretty decent dealand god damnit another freaking VFR around here? Make sure you find out about the r/r, stator and wire harness maintenance on it. If it hasn't been done it will need to stat so bargain more cause thats at least $500 in work Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bad324 Posted September 17, 2012 Report Share Posted September 17, 2012 VFR is one of my favorites. Just don't pitch a bitch when the charging system gives you fits. Keep it on a tender when you aren't riding it and plan on replacing the stator/reg-rec if it hasn't been done' date=' already. [/quote']^^^this fucking guyI love this bike but is it so much to ask that if I don't ride it for 2 weeks it just start the next time I want to use it Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Steve Butters Posted September 17, 2012 Author Report Share Posted September 17, 2012 He said po did electrical upgrades... Not sure what all he meant... And he told me 3700 and says it's minty condition Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bad324 Posted September 17, 2012 Report Share Posted September 17, 2012 He said po did electrical upgrades... Not sure what all he meant... And he told me 3700 and says it's minty conditiondefinitely ask what "all" means. As long as its r/r and stator then I wouldn't beat him up since thats a good price. If there are the typical wire harness mods consider that a bonus but its easy to do yourself and under $100 I believe Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I highly suggest checking out this site for all electrical needs as that is where I've gotten several things:http://www.wiremybike.com/you know how to find me, I know a decent amount about VFR's so just ask. I was going to do the HID conversion when I tore it down for paint but I ride in the dark so little that I didn't feel like spending the money on it Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
