I have been enjoing my newly aquired 02 vfr. This morning 30 seconds or so after start up I hear this loud racket coming obviously from the camchains rattling.... the noise stops as soon as the bike warmed up to operating temps......Gentlemen I have been battling this exact same noise on my now departed 83 vf750f, hearing it all over again gives me the creeps. after a little research on this wonderfull website I discover to my amazement that these bikes and after a quarter century still suffer from cct failures. The only positive outcome is that there were no Honda engineeres nearby when this happned, shall we say that I could not have guranteed their safty around me.
thank god i still have 3 years of warranty left....i wouldnt have to pay for any mechanical failures for the next 3 years.
