So off to the local Honda dealer. I quick blast with a hammer wrench and job was done. The rest of the job was fine.
The internals of the VFR fork are quite different to the SV. The fork cap has an adjustment screw which I assumed just wound up the preload. That doesn't seem to be the case as it connects to a rod that runs down most of the length of the tube. Maybe it controls oil flow?

Screw slot in the top is compression and the nut shape is the preloaded ueseualy.
I miss the adjustable twidlldly bits of the Daytona
