I found the stand easier than all my other Bikes (previous 4).... very nice Bike though, handles amazing, the odd little hiccups but overal.. nice Bike and Stevep, the Watch is a must as there isnt one on the dash and I dont wear a Watch and have to keep track of the time so pinched my Nephews
The watch idea is pretty neat. I may need to look into doing this as mine rubs against me when riding.
Bike done, just waiting on the new Brake Levers (the stock ones are too big, have to stretch my Fingers out abit too much) added a little red Mesh to cover a Bolt that looks horrible, will add a little extra in some gaps aswell as I want it to be black/red/chrome......... and then the Garden to finish!!!!!
Hey, I got it with a set of Stickers from a brand in Aus called Illeqwip www.instagram.com/illeqwip I get Stickers sent to me from Worldwide to include in my Stickerbook (www.urbankaos.co.uk/stickerbook) and that Vinyl was included with some others, I like the Graffiti look and thought I could use that Vinyl on the Bike
New Stickers on the front until I can fully clean it properly, the other one was pealing and taking it off just left horrible marks on it.
Anyone know when I should get this cleaned/replaced? (Air Filter) Im nearly on 4000 miles, was told to get Oils changed at 5000 miles, nothing else has been done since the first Service at around 1500 (near that I think) but im not sure what exactly was done on that Service...... Is there anything important I need to get sorted, besides the Engine Oil etc, front Brake Oil looks fine in the Cylinder, and Pads still have some meat left, rear Brake is a Drum but that looked fine when I took the Wheel off.... anything else?
Definitely looks like it could do with a good clean! Might not be possible with that type of filter though. Are there many aftermarket parts/mods for these bikes?
Found them on eBay actually, £10.66 so just bought a new one..... Still a bit confused with the Service and all that though, first and only Service was at 1520 Miles, i'm on 3950 now, got the Bike when it was on 2614 Miles. I had to change the rear Wheel due to wear (front it ok) Brake Pads look ok, and the Drum ones look ok, the oil in the Brake Cylinder is fine. I got told to change the Oils at 5000 Miles, not sure whether it's just me but the Bike doesn't run as 'smooth' as when I first had it, cant really explain it though, could this be due to the Oils needing a change? (Engine Oil etc) Quickly checked the Water (anti-freeze) earlier and that seems ok and level..... Only thing is I cant get to a Honda Dealer, and there isn't many loyal Garages around here that will do a decent job, especially being female, they just take the Bike and say things are done when they haven't really done them! I changed the Oils on my Aprilia but rather just get someone to do it all on this Bike, seemed like whenever I did something... something else messed up!
lol yep Mark, well done hence stupid Garage Mechanics trying to get money out of me and not doing the work!
.........Take someone large with,who does'nt speak - just goes uggh occasionally,dribbles & scratches interesting places,at opportune moments,usually works..
Filter,when i was looking about for replacement for my 70,noticed aftermarket,tend to do x2 for the price of 1 original..
Got the new one on, Bike just seems 'wrong' though, i'll wait until I put the new Spark Plug in, if it's still being annoying i'll change the Oils. Old and New Filter, Honda part so all good
Put the Spark Plug in, still seems weird though.... i'll wait until the Oil change and see from there.... Accidentally cracked the Exhaust Cover the other day so got a new chrome Cover from Vietnam, looks nice, got stars and some tribal design on it , went out and it started raining so took a quick photo when I got back:
Just need the gloss black bracket cover, where the previous owner left it outside with no covers on for months on end that bracket has gone stinking, cant seem to clean the bits off it... but seen nice gloss black (other colours as well) covers which sits over them
That Chrome Exhaust Cover snapped abit, so got the original Honda Cover Garnish instead to cover the crack! also needs a good clean, especially that back Tyre, and need to put the white on the new front Tyre... took the hump off the Seat as well, was really annoying as I sit further back, trying to find a decent priced humpless Seat but no luck yet!
