its been long enough coming.
the plan was to sell the bikes, get something cheaper, then keep the rest of the money to pay off my overdraft...

turns out the ''something cheaper'' was an R6.

18,000 miles, and thats about all there is to it, for a very nice price.
acumen gear indicator, steering damper, termignoni exhaust etc

the plan is a nice metallic black, and the works from R&G given my previous bike history with flippings etc. as well as an 02 undertray.

GSXR sold today for £1100 Crying or Very sad
and the DTR125 sold for £250
so enough to pay for the R6 and the overdraft Cool

all in all, reasons for selling being statutory sick pay at the mo, so its worked out pretty well!

pics to come...

failing that, ill give you £200 for your red fairing set if you can get those gash SWB stickers off xx

That fellow has awfully loose leathers. Do they tighten up once he engages fetal position?

I was going to say maybe he doesn't want to look like a power ranger in a gay skintight suit but if he's that sad to buy y6 leathers to match his bike it's clear image doesn't mean much to this guy.

its safe to say the guys a gent. if it makes a difference, hes got a mille and CBR954 in his garage, and this bike is only being sold to fund leathers apparantly.

Well i was planning to get it done anyway, there's been a clicking since I've had it though i thought it might have been one of the exhaust manifolds as there is a bolt missing. Though the more i ride it the more im convinced its something to do with the valve clearances. It also seems to be vibrating quite allot past 6,000 rpm though it could just be me.

valve clearances on shimmed OHC engines dont tend to tap, they tend to go quieter.

its probably the cam chain tensioner, but most likely that bolt missing.

dont you dare take it to a mechanic, they'll spot you a mile off and will end up with a bill over £300. ill have a look when ive got the R6 on the road.

Not sure who that's directed too but if its me its a CBR 600 FM 1991. It has 33,000 miles on the clock and i honestly have no idea if its ever had a carb sync/ Valve clearance in its lifetime. But because of my compulsion to know, it will bug me forever unless i have them looked at. You know how it is..


Got your R6 yet matt?
