    1986 Honda VFR 700 F - $1500.00

    1986 Honda VFR 700 F

    Selling this VFR for a friend, it has been sitting in a dry, ride-in basement for a few years... The owner parked it when he realized that he would not be riding it anymore and now would like to get it going and pass it on to someone who will appreciate it enough to want to restore and ride the V4.

    It needed the usual stuff that motorcycle engines need when waking them from a long slumber, battery, fluid changes etc.

    After draining the fuel tank, adding new fuel, a fuel filter and changing a couple of fuel lines, cleaning the fuel tap and checking the plugs I stuck a new battery in it she fired right up and runs crazy good... on choke however, due to the extended storage period, the low speed jets are certainly plugged, she will not throttle up off choke.

    The engine does sound awesome, Yoshimura mid pipe and canister.

    The owner does not want to have me spend the time to remove the carbs, clear the primary jets and thoroughly clean the carb bodies due to the cost of four hours labor.

    So, the carbs will need to be addressed. From what I can see the rubber boots look fine however, as with any rebuild of this type you May run into the need for some small parts relative to the carb overhaul; bowl gaskets etc.

    I have installed:

    New tires,
    Battery,
    Rear brake pads,
    Fuel system components.
    Rear turn signals

    While changing tires I checked, cleaned axles and greased wheel bearings and fasteners, all good as is the chain and sprockets.

    The little bugger is cosmetically challenged though, cracks in the fairing, cracks around the bolt holes in one side panel, the tank has signs of a leak from the fuel tap from years ago... The O-rings are fine and no leaks now, just that unsightly blemish from the leak at some time in the past.
    The upper fairing covers are missing, probably available somewhere.

    All lights work as they should, brakes are good.
    No fork seal leaks.

    Issues:

    Cracks and breaks in the fairing and side panels
    Possibly needs caliper rebuild kits up front
    Missing fairing covers, front /top
    The seat has a couple of tears
    I would offer to rebuild the carbs for a fee, we can discuss if that is something that you do not feel comfortable doing.

    At any rate, great potential for a nice resto or ride it the way it looks cosmetically but the carbs are going to need attention.

    Maine does not require a title for motorcycles, a Bill of Sale will be supplied.

    $1500.00
