Installation Notes for the Honda RVF400 NC35 Exhaust
Installing this performance exhaust on your Honda RVF400 NC35 is a straightforward process, particularly for those with a reasonable level of mechanical confidence. Here’s a brief overview of what to expect during installation:
- Remove the existing silencer from the OEM downpipes — this typically requires undoing the mounting bolts and the exhaust strap
- Offer up the new can to the downpipe and check alignment before fully tightening
- Secure using the three-bolt fitting, ensuring all bolts are torqued evenly to avoid warping or stress on the joint
- Attach the stainless exhaust strap, fitting the rubber buffer between the strap and the can to absorb vibration
- Run the engine briefly and check for any leaks or unusual sounds before taking the bike out on the road
As with any exhaust installation, we recommend using copper-based anti-seize compound on the bolt threads to make future removal easier. Always allow the engine to reach operating temperature before performing a final check on all fastenings, as metal expansion can slightly alter fitment once heat is applied. If you’re not confident carrying out the installation yourself, any competent motorcycle mechanic will find this a simple job.

To Make sure that you are shopping for the correct Model exhaust here is some information about this model.
The Honda RVF400R (NC35) was a sport bike manufactured by Honda from 1994 to 1996. It was powered by a 16 valve double overhead gear-driven cam 400 cc 90° V4 four-stroke engine and was known for its fantastic handling capabilities.
Two models were produced, the RVF400RR (1994) and the RVF400RT (1996), although they differed only in their paint schemes. The RVF400RR having Honda colors Sparkling red/Ross white/Atessa blu and the RVF400RT colored Sparkling red/Ross white/Uranus purple. Most distinguishing is the RVF400RT’s “RVF” logo in yellow rather than white.
The RVF (as it was marketed by Honda in Japan) finished production in 1996, though unsold RVFs remained available to purchase from Japanese Honda dealers through to 2001. The RVF400R is the smaller sibling of RVF750R (RC45), as the VFR400R (NC30) was to the VFR750R (RC30).
The Honda RVF400R was the successor to the Honda VFR400R NC30, which ceased production in 1993. While at first glance there appear to be mainly styling changes between the VFR400R and the RVF400R, the actual number of changes are vast as the entire bike was redesigned with numerous identical looking components being totally different.
The obvious differences between the VFR400R and the RVF400R are that the front forks are of the upside-down type and the rear wheel takes a 17″ tyre (the Honda VFR400R took an 18″), there are two air tubes that feed fresh air to the area just in front of the airbox (this is not a ram air system, the airbox is unpressurized) and the headlights have changed from twin round headlights to twin ‘fox-eye’ lights (this is one feature not mirrored from the RVF750R (RC45) as the RC45 features twin large round headlights).
Unlike the VFR400R the RVF400R was only officially sold new in Japan. The RVF400R has slightly less peak power than the VFR400R (due to Japanese regulations at the time) but has a stronger midrange. There is a Haynes Manual available for the RVF400R.
Like other Hondas with gear-driven camshafts, the RVF’s engine makes a loud whine when operating. The exhaust note of the V4 engine is also different from that of a more conventional inline-four. The 400 cc VFR and RVF models share a unique exhaust note with their larger siblings—the VFR750R RC30 and the RVF750R RC45—because of their 360° or big-bang firing order.
