So as a few of you may have seen, I purchased a 1991 Honda VFR750 with 23,000 miles. I had asked the owner about the bikes maintenance history, which his response consisted of " I only changed the oil, owning the bike for less than a year". So I am planning on taking this bike for a few hour trip coming in the warmer season. I want to make sure everything has been serviced on the bike by someone is well qualified.

I called around to a few motorcycle service shops, and talking to Honda cycles - they seemed to be the most comforting but expensive. So I figured I would come to VaDriven to see if any well known bike mechanics were interested in some side work? In these times, a lil extra cash flow never hurt anyone. Please dont take this as I am trying to cut corners on my bike maintenance, but Dealership prices are a lil over my budget.

When I talked to the people at Honda, they asked if the valves have been adjusted at 16k miles? Which I have no idea if they were or weren't? I really dont know the down side of ignoring this either.

But here is a list of the few things I would like to get serviced on the bike:
1) All fluids to get changed.
2) Chain cleaned and lubed.
3) A professional scan of the bike to see if anything else would need to be serviced. ( Yes, when I bought the bike, I checked the visual things and test rode it. Seems fine to me, but I am no pro when it comes to Cycles.)
4) Air filter replacement, spark plug replacement.- If needed.
5) The front brake pads are getting low and need to be replaced. The rears still have plenty of life.
6) Valve adjustment if needed.
7) Make sure all is well because it needs an inspection sticker.
8) At what point do the carbs need to be cleaned? Or serviced? Bike runs good to me, but I have went no more than 5-10 miles riding time.


Thats all that I can think of for now. If I am missing something by all means please chime in.

If your qualified to preform the requested work, pm me. Please have references. If you dont have a place to work on the bike. You can come in my garage (on a concrete floor) and do the work, I have plenty of tools, but I would suggest to bring your own. Because I worked on cars and not bikes.
