The V4 engine is highly reliable, with few known faults. The gear-driven [[camshaft]] system removed any concerns about cam-chain maintenance.

Valve adjustment on early models was by screw and locknut, changing in 1990 to shim and bucket, access was simple making the adjustment process painless on the very rare occasions when adjustment was needed - engines are known to reach well over 50,000miles without any need to adjust the clearances.

Pre-2000 VFRs sometimes suffer from an overheated [[Voltage regulator|regulator]]/[[rectifier]], a $100 part. While the replacement part is an improvement over the original, it has become commonplace for owners to buy a $10 CPU fan and glue it onto the rectifier. Spliced into the tail-light bulb wire, it provides extra cooling to protect the sensitive electronic unit.
