What to do, what to do ?!

Right, is it really worth paying like £100 and daft quid for a service and stamp. Or should i just fit the bits i can to my bike and any i cant get local bike shop (Speedwell in Radcliffe) to do the rest.

Its the 7500 service for cbr 125, all it needs is

Spark Plug

Air filter

And possibly the oil, but not checked the service guide yet.

Yes, you will no doubt be selling the bike on to a complete beginner so the service will give them some peace of mind. Or more imoprtantly their parent's. Should also help the bike sell quicker.

What im thinking is, if i buy the parts,

filter

Spark plug

And say fit these and stamp the book, then you reckong that'll be alright, just paying £100 for fitting them and ajusting and lubing bits is a fucking rip off, my bikes running nice now.

i got a cbr125and do all my own servicing, its quite easy but the air filter is a bastard cos you got to drain and remove the tank. What a stupid place for an air filter. The rest is easy enough though. You also wanna check chain tension at the same time. Thumbs Up

It really is a shitty designed bike, head light bulbs an arsehole to change, and ill get someone do my air filter it sounds like a pain in the arse to do.

Any idea on price of Air filter?

not sure to be honest. I use mail order cos im in south wales but give em a ring and ask. They can only say no.

Marcg868 · World Chat Champion Joined: 20 Jan 2005 Karma :

Give them a ring tommorow, shouldnt see why not!

Cheers for the link.

Also on another note, what lube is best for bolts?Or will WD40 be sufficient?

Be cheaper to buy all the parts yourself, get a custom made stamp up yourself and stamp the book that way. That's what I'll be doing (not hiding any jobs that haven't been done though)

scott666 · Trackday Trickster Joined: 22 Feb 2006 Karma :

ive been using wd with no adverse effects, shouldnt be a problem nice and cheap and does the job Thumbs Up

If it's still in warranty, you need a stamp (doesn't have to be an official garage though) to keep the warranty I believe - though you may still be able to get them to uphold it if something does go wrong, it will be more hassle.

I doubt you'll save much buying it yourself.

He's talking about buying them, then asking the garage to fit them; I don't think this will save much, really.

Marcg868 · World Chat Champion Joined: 20 Jan 2005 Karma :

I dunno what to do then, the places i can get them fitted are, a local mechanic £15 an hour labour, but no stamp, or Speedwell £50 an hour who will stamp it.

if i buy parts myself that will be

£8 spark plug

£19 Air filter

£ 9.99 for 1 litre of Oil
