Why not....just installed one a few minutes ago on a locals VFR 800. The
damn VFR even has a perfecting pocket under the seat for the oil
reservoir. I use the KEVIN squeezebottleprocedure to fill the suction
line...worked great. Pump was primed in a few seconds. This guy really
needed one...his chain was rusty, so much for normal chain maintenance. He
had a grin from ear to ear when he saw how easy it was after the
installation to lubricate his chain. That bike does sound nice.....has it
own version of a Harley potato potato potato.
