That VFR sounds a little off beat I don’t think it’s running right

Yeah, you’re right. I’m not sure what is wrong yet. I’m wondering if it’s something to do with the speed limiter as it sounds fine on start up and kicks in at certain revs (tachometer not working so not sure where exactly). My speedo cable ate itself when it got linked the other day so going to replace that and see if it fixes itself. The fuel tap was also modified and, although I replaced the parts to stock and installed a vacuum pipe as it was causing issues with starting. My mechanic reckons the tolerances are really fine so I wonder if it might be something to do with that.

@@stevebiffride8120 I’ve had it before on my RVF where the fuel tap diaphragm gets stuck. If you open the bike it’ll use all the fuel in the carbs and it cuts out. It’s well worth replacing Honda do rebuild kits (nc30 and 35 fuel taps are the same
