Reader Niko, from Switzerland, successfully installed one of my carburetor rebuild kits recently in his 1986 VFR750. All went well and the bike is back on the roads around Bern. Niko was kind enough to share a bit of his story: His father had purchased the VFR some years ago as a learner bike to acquire his moto license. It had been off the road for 15 years at the time, but Dad procrastinated, and during his downtime the licensing laws changed making the bike unusable as a learner.
At that point it was gifted to Niko who worked at getting it back on the road, but all was not right and the VFR went idle again. Recently Niko committed to finishing the job…and that's when he contacted me. He now says the "bike runs like a champ" and is looking forward to better weather and lots of seat time.
I love a happy ending….
