My VF1000R came into my life 28 years ago.
Shortly after buying it, I got married, and riding gradually became less of a priority. Then came two children, and life became busy with raising a family. The year my second son was born, I moved from Japan to the United States for work, where I spent many years on assignment.
Eventually, I returned to Japan. Both of my sons are now at university, and at last, I have some time for myself again.
So I decided it was time to bring my long-neglected VF1000R back to life. Unfortunately, nearly 28 years of sitting unused had taken a serious toll on the bike. A simple restoration was no longer an option, so I decided on major surgery.
And that’s how I found myself taking the unconventional route of converting the bike to EFI!
I’ve searched various forums, but there seems to be surprisingly little information about EFI conversions on the VF1000R. Surely, somewhere in the world, someone has successfully completed one?
If you have, I’d love to hear from you and exchange information.
After 28 years, the story of me and my VF1000R continues. This time, with EFI!
