Acemastr eh? Anyway...
Haynes arrived on Saturday and it's really good. The photos are really clear and explanatory, especially to someone at my level (a bit past novice, with experience of things like chains, sprockets and minor servicing like oil changes behind me). In my opinion, it is a lot better than the PDF service manual (which is still pretty good but assumes a higher level of expertise).
It goes through pretty much any procedure you can do with the bike in great detail, and there's an awesome section at the back with info about using the right tools in the correct way etc. My missus now has some stiff competition for my time in the evenings now I have this book! Thoroughly recommended.
With that in mind, I am now very much considering doing the 20'000 mile service (although the book is saying every 3'750 miles rather than every 4'000... damn metric) myself and saving the £80 labour charge as well as the inconvenience of taking it there, waiting around etc. ____________________ CBT February 2008 | A2 June 2008 | Yamaha YBR125 (written off) | Honda CBF125 (current) |

Old Thread Alert!
The last post was made 17 years, 5 days ago. Instead of replying here, would creating a new thread be more useful? |
