.....and I bought it =D

As soon as I rode this bike...I fell in love. I have never felt this good on a bike, I know it's only a 125, but damn it's a bloody good bike.

It was immaculate! Well, to my standerd any way, bit of dirt on the exhaust, but nothing that can't be polished. No nasty noises from the engine, whilst idling or riding, nice and smooth through the revs, paint is incredible to the point it looks brand new, electrics are perfect, starts from cold, as soon as you press the button without having to use the choke.

To be honest, I've never smiled so much, well, the only time was when my daughter was born...

I'll try get some pics up tomorrow Thumbs Up

Want to give a HUGE thanks to Teff, without his advice and guidance I managed to get a decent bike, and know what I have to do to maintain it and keep it nice.

to you sir, shall have to go out with the CBs when we get the chance Thumbs Up

I'm glad it worked out for you. Don't neglect your oil changes and warm it thoroughly before giving it the welly and it should last a long time.

Most of the problems caused with them going bang is there is a small metal gauze in the engine that acts as a sort of filter, and over time it gets blocked. Find it and clean it then you'll be fine.

I tried changin the oil today...but the sump plug was WAAAYY too tight, and didn't particulary want to snap it, so is there anything I can do to get it out without damage?
Also, does anyone know where this filter might be? I have the original handbook, and it says page 120.....there is no page 120, so must have got lost somewhere.
going to try do clearences tomorrow as well, if I have enough time after changin oil and balancing carbs.
