Rather self-explanatory really!

Haven't really made a map/plan of where to go yet, but I'm starting from Bognor Regis, West Sussex if anyone wants to join me then just send me a private message and we can make a plan. Smile
Thumbs Up

Do you have a full bike licence or are you on L plates?

I'm on "L" plates for now, hopefully I will get the full test out the way soon.

Just heard today that I'm going back to college, so will have to plan around that/ take time off. Smile

Nope. Smile


On a sidenote, my bike's engine is getting worse and worse by the day. Even more knocking coming from the engine/piston.... Think I might need a new engine soon... Sad

valve clearances


I'm thinking it's that, but the sound is more consistant now, making me think cam chain? I dont know the first thing about how to sort that, but I'm going to sort out my valve clearances now. Even though it's the gf's birthday. Smile

How many miles on the engine? Cam Chain Tensioners are a known weak point on the wee CBR. Cheap, quick and easy to replace. Like me, you will kick yourself if your engine lets go because you waited too long to replace it.

Just clicked over to 27,000 yesterday. I've got it booked in to my mates garage for Monday, £25 a hour much better than every other garage that's charging £40-£45 a hour. plus because I'm a mate, its gonna be cash up front, no VAT. Smile
Can't complain, although I've discovered another problem that my chain has streched and that I'm now at the end of the tensioners. Yet another thing to buy...

Having said that, I will be putting a bigger sprocket on the front, I need better top end as I will be doing 270 mile round trips to Essex to see the gf at uni in about 2 weeks. Confused
