Cylinder Plating?

[dave]

Heh--regulator/rectifryer.
Does the VFR have a primary chain between the main crank and the tranny? Most V-twins do. The V-four is not as unbalanced as a V-twin, and do you know if the VFR has electroplated cylinders bored into the top half of the VFR's crankcase?
Your VFR is not burning any oil at all?
The wear was the leading and trailing (front back edges) of my VTR's cylinders. They were more than TWO millimeters out of round--pretty much zero compression.

The cams on my 1998 VFR800 are gear driven, which makes valve adjustments much quicker and easier. The top half of the crankcase has pressed-in steel sleeves. 92,000+ miles and it does not burn any oil.
