My Bike

CBR400 Gullarm, 1993, 17000km's (Speedo Doesnt Work Razz

)

Good Points:

Feels like a Rocket Ship

Feels like a Real Bike

Revs

Handles

Bad Points

I've forgotten how to rev engines Razz

I've forgotten what handling does....

Paid £1600, was sold with MOT Laughing

Problems:
Speedo Doesn't Work (Diagnosed as nackered speedo cable)
Needs left hand fork seal
Needs headraces
Both bars mis matched and bent
Chain and sprockets dead
Needs choke cable (I bodged a makeshift with cable ties, G would be proud Thumbs Up

)
Mirrors mis matched from wrong bikes Rolling Eyes

Exhaust is blowing a bit, but that makes it sound a bit more meaty so i've no complaints Rolling Eyes

New tyres would go down well, once all the above is sorted.
Can't insure it this month, cos max budget has been reached.

Special thanks go out to Bendy Mr. Green

, you rocks! Thumbs Up

appreciated kev Smile

dont spose you could order the tyres in for us at all? its gonna be a while before i can afford them anyway

and yes, the track is calling, but only after all the above is sorted, its taxed, insured and ive learnt how to ride it

i spent my brief times on it today (uninsured Rolling Eyes

) opening the throttle, screaming with joy like a little girl, then slamming it off again Razz

The only time we get bike tyres in at work is on a cash sale.

I can have a word with the bloke next door to see if he can still get those 207rr`s for £115 a pair.

get 090s for your cbr m8, the're supposed to be ace. made for 400s as well, so they dont take as long to warm up. meant to be really stickey...

17,000kms is minimal Shocked

....

sound like a good project. not too much work, and the benefits will definatly outway the input required...

Hang on how long has the speedo not been working, becasue consequently may not ratch up the miles on the odometer... Shocked

so race exhaust headers/can in order as well then?

So come on then, how much better is it than the bros?

WildGoose · White Van Man Joined: 20 Mar 2002 Karma :

much

apart from ive got the wrong V5 Confused

i know all about 090's i had them on my 250 Smile

new exhaust system eventually, its not a priority tho

its HPI clear, and according to HPI mileage register 17000 is about right Smile
