Well done.
With the amount of experience you gained getting the bike sorted, I bet we could blindfold you and you will be able to disassemble and reassemble the entire bike ;D ;D

Well done!!! Glad it's finally going.
Regards running in, don't be afraid to let it rev, just don't load the engine up too much.

I ran my old CBR600 in exactly by the book, and it never let me down in the 58000miles I owned it. If you don't run it in properly, and something goes wrong, you'll always be asking yourself 'was it cos I didn't run it in?' Regular oil changes is my advice. Change at 500 miles, then again at 1000 miles, then cane it... [smiley=thumbsup.gif]
Does anything happen under 6000rpm on those little things? I had a go on a mate's RS125 recently, and it wouldn't pull away under 5000!
You can use them at quite low revs you just have to be VEEEERRRRRRYYYYY gentle with the clutch, and you won't get more than about 40 out of it at 6k :( oh well might as well slog it out for the 1000 miles :)
Welll done all fixed up :) about time enjoy!
I Remember running my ybr in that week flew by out all day and night riding :) lucky it went 50ish at 6revs :) see you out soon :)
No ammount of buggery can describe how pissed I am now... was going to work this morning on the bike and as I turned into the trading estate... the bike high sided... I am fine it was at low speed (maybe 15 mph) I have a bit of grazing on my knee because I was only wearing jenes (and that is the last time EVER that I do I might add!) And a sprained wrist. The only reason I can see for it happening is cold tyres and a slightly exuberant lean angle leading to yet another disaster...
I work just up the road from hayballs so after I had stopped shaking I rode it over and it seems like damage is minimal, RH indicator, RH handlebar and break lever need replacing but other than that it is fine apart from some cosmetic damage, I left it there as the handle bar was almost completely snapped off. And they ordered the parts today it should be sorted by the end of the week.
Luckily I had my visor up which stopped my helmet taking any impact just some scratches on the visor and a tiny scratch on the chin guard. So all is good on that front, I also have a minute scuff on my jacket.
If there is a god... he is picking on me! :p
Other than that the bike is running fine and dandy! No problems atall :)

Good to hear you are ok ;)

George, you don't get much luck mate. Be thankful it was only 15mph I guess. When I highsided at Pembrey, I was doing about 90mph, ended up in RUH for a week, and on crutches for another 5 weeks... :(
Yea ir could have been much worse! I went back up to have a look at where it happened and there is a patch of what looked like disel maybe a half foot across not sure if its what caused the back sliding resulting in this but it seems a bit coincidental...Quote:
