I think you are correct. Take the petrol tap out of the tank and clean the filter and any inline filter as well, if there is one.
Hope that fixes it.

FOUR BOLTS HOLD ON THE MUDGUARD, THESE NORMALY SIEZE, THE LOWER ALEN KEY BOLTS SIMPLY UNDO IN A NORMAL DIRECTION, THE UPPER 2 BOLTS CAN BE A PROBLEM, AS YOU TURN THE BOLTS, THE FLAT PLATE NUT ON THE INSIDE WILL SPIN IF THE NUT IS TIGHT, AS THE NUT HAS SHARP EDGES WHEN IT TURNS IT WILL POKE A HOLE IN THE TOP OF THE MUDGUARD B CAREFULL, IF THIS IS THE CASE REMOVE THE FRONT WHEEL, AND GRIP THE FLAT PLATE NUT WHILE TURNING THE OUTER ALUN KEY BOLT. GOOD LUCK

HI, 1ST PLACE BIKE ON THE STAND REMOVE KEY FROM IGNITION, YOU MAY NEED SOMEONE TO HELP YOU FOR A MOMENT, PUT THE MACHINE IN GEAR, THIS WILL ALOWE YOU TO UNDO THE SECURING NUT WITHOUT TURNING THE FRONT SPROCKET AT THE SAME TIME IF SOME 1 HOLDS DOWN THE REAR BRAKE THIS WILL ALSO HELP, ITS AN EASY TASK,ON SOME MODELS FAIRING SIDE PANNEL MAY NEED REMOVING, UNDO THE 8MM RETAINING BOLTS HOLDING THE COVER OVER THE SPROCKET, SOME OF THEM ALSO GO THROUGH THE SLAVE CYLINDER FOR THE CLUTCH, WHEN U ARE HAPPY ALL THE BOLTS ARE REMOVED GENTLY PRISE OFF THE SPROCKET COVER, THIS CAN SOMETIMES STICK SLIGHTLY ON THE DOWELS, WARNING NO EXSESS FORCE SHOULD BE USED TO REMOVE THE COVER IF ITS TIGHT THEN RE CHECK ALL THE BOLTS ARE REMOVED, WHEN COVER IS FREE LIFT UP AND TIE TO 1 SIDE LEAVING THE CLUTCH CYLINDER CONECTED. YOU WILL THEN SEE THE FRONT SPROCKET, SECURED BY A 14, OR 17MM BOLT AND WASHER, NOTE WASHER LOCATION AND REPLACE SAME WAY, YOU MAY ALSO NEED TO UNDO THE 17MM BLOTS TO ALOWE YOU TO SLACKEN OFF THE CHAIN FOR SPROCKET REPLACMENT, AFTERMARKET SPROCKETS DO NOT ALWAYS LOOK LIKE THE OE PART, REPLACE SPROCKET USING A GOOD LOCKING AGENT, AND REPLACE IN REVERSE

all i know about these bikes is that they dont have the usual valve train and use a gear systems instead. it could be possible that there is a problem with the top end and you should take it to a dealer to have a look. hope this is of some help if it is could you rate my answer. thanks.

carbs need adjusting...or its possibly you have the incorrect exhuastinstalled.

The bike should be serviced every year even if mileage has not been reached. If your bike is 6 years old and has only had it's 600 and 4,000 mile service it does really need to be done. Coolant and brake fluid require changing every 2 years, if you have been missing this I recommend you get it done. By 8,000 miles you could be looking at worn tyres and brake pads depending on how hard you ride. service would be 2.5 to 3.5 hours and cost about £50 an hour plus vat plus parts.

Check your valve clearances as soon as you can to eliminate problem from those.

Hello coxdarren198,,,The problem with the VFR is most likely improperly synced starter valves...the wrong air/fuel mixture then causes the 02 sensor to react and so forth and so on. The factory settings are not right... if they are i have yet to see one.
Starting...lower RPM cruiseing and and throttle response will improve when the settings are correct.
Hope this helps and will fxya up....
Ride safe and ride smart.

Fork oil volume (1988 to 1989 - FK models): 523ml and 513ml

Pull the cover and see if you applied too much gasket maker which could be blocking your oil drain back holes. IF that is the problem you risk/risked trashing the engine because too much of the limited supply of engine oil was stuck in the cover instead of moving around in the rest of the engine.

Did you check the power regulator? It can 'collapse' under a load, while it looks perfect when measuring the resistances. Does your rectifier have cooling fins?
