    Hi everyone!
    Recently I bought VFR 800 2008 with 30000km on clock .
    Bike in good shape but I feel some vibration on acceleration. I can clearly say that vibration comes from clutch. coz I can't replicate issue while clutch disengaged.
    So I deside to open clutch, I found that bearing have some crunchy sound so I ordered new one.
    I was so surprised when I place new parts that bucket was still wobble...
    Is anyone was facing similar issue? Or anyone have idea how to solve it?

    Thanks

    Links bellow will lead to video where I record this weird bucket wobble...

    that needs fixing fast, and it's good u found it.:cool:

    maybe center nut on basket loosened & needs tightening to proper torque with lock washer or staking in place .....or maybe wrong bearing fitted ? quality bearings are made in germany, USA, japan, italy, sweden and switzerland ONLY. the rest are lower quality, meaning they co$t half as much and need replacement twice as often.

    u didn't feel vibes on test-ride ?

    Lock nut was in proper position and i can bet was tightened with right torque coz it was original factory assembly.
    bearings and all other replacements was ordered from official UAE dealer so im sure that is genuine honda parts.

    during test ride i didn't pay attention to this vibration probably. But when i went for long ride i felt it...

    If the nuts done up tight on the shaft is the shaft loose or is the clutch basket loose on the shaft?

    If the basket is loose on the shaft Loctite bearing fit will take up the play

    we don't necessarily trust our dealers here. u could do serious damage to the engine if you don't fix the problem.

    thats the only last two versions remaining for me. Now waiting for indicator gauge check shaft and basket surfaces. Im suspecting it may worn some metal on shaft...




    In UAE is only one dealer (monopoly) and there no
    doubts in genuine product.
    At lease some benefits from monopoly
