Re: VFR400 rebuild
Haynes manual says 2.1 litres for the engine and rads + 0.2 litres for the reservoir.
I used pretty much that when I did my rad flush etc a week or two ago.

Re: VFR400 rebuild
bad times, iv got a leak!
think iv narrowd it down to these 2 places. why are they leaking?? lol think the fat pipe is to do with air, as it connects to the smaller filter on the airbox!
its pissing out both holes for some resson. just the left hole in the 2-way split pipe though, were is this ment to go anyways!? thought it was just a breather.

Re: VFR400 rebuild
just spoke to ricky tony, he said its just a breather too. so a good thing i think....it narrows it down at least.
the other arrow is where the small airfilter pipes come from too the tops of the carbs and splits off to both back carbs. strange place to leak no!?
maybe the left back carb is overflowing(hence the overflow) so much that its leaking through this air-pipe joint!?
ill see if i can get a better picture mate. seems the other carbs are fine though, 3 out of 4 aint bad lol shame i got to take the whole lot off mind for 1 poxy carb
pic to follow mate
the joint at top of carb...
