Any advice to a New owner of a 99 VTR?

cam chain tensioners (CCT), replace asap with manual CCTs if the PO hasnt already. PAIR delete if the PO hasnt already done so as well. im sure others will chime in but other than that these bikes are pretty reliable, i knave over 40,000 on mine and i know others have over double that.

Welcome to the club!
Manual cct's (Cam Chain tentioners) are known as the first item to replace as the automatic stock units are prone to failure. (as noted above) We have a forum member Superdutyd who machines these and many of us can swear by his work, he will also save you some coin as hes cheaper then other units you can buy. I have a set and they are very nice
Also look at replacing the stock R/R, the stock unit is not finned and is prone to overheating resulting in failure. Plenty of threads in the knowledge base section cover the R/R and the manual CCT's.
Overall other then routine maintenance these bikes are pretty solid.
