Nice colour, great to watch someone else enjoying working on the vtr. Picked one up my self and been going threw it, found some interesting things and some dangerous loose bolts lol.
@@bjornmeier385 I've had both, I prefer the VFR. You're right, the VTR is much easier to work on, and it's definitely a good idea to swap to manual cam chain tensioners.
Thanks for replying 😀.. Yeah im thorn between them prefer the look of the VFR RC36-1... and they can be had real cheap ik Denmark ...like 2000£ for one with 50.000km the Firestorms are actually a bit more expensive... What VFR did u have ?
Great work, it's certainly a great improvement. Looking forward to the next instalment. I had the back wheel out of my Firestorm after getting a piece of metal though my nearly new Metzler Roadtec last weekend. The tyre couldn't be repaired so had to fit a new one. doh..😒
Excellent brother. The best way to learn is have a go 👍.
It definitely is, and it's very therapeutic 👍

@@mick5114 Thanks, it's very satisfying going over a bike like this and breathing some life back into it 👍
Carbs are huge and inefficient and suck fuel like a banshee, but they work fantastic and a few pops maybe but fueling is great stock on those.
@@paulscountry456 carbs are so clever, brilliant bits of engineering
Very nice !! Thanks I consider a Vintage VFR or VTR ...VTR looks easier to work on ..but I heard the cam chain tensioners at prone to fail ...

@@bjornmeier385 I had 2 vtec's, both 2004. If you have a look through my channel you'll see a video or 2 of them.
@@ivy-macoh, I've gone and bought brand new tensioners from honda, maybe I'll have some fun out of it before hopefully nothing happens lol.
@@mick5114 if I was keeping the VTR, I'd have got new standard tensioners as well I think.

Thanks.
That's so frustrating when a new tyre gets wrecked. It's happened to me in the past.
Nice !
Thanks
