    you get a pleasant surprise,for the last couple of days my bike has been making horrible grinding noises and juddering when pulling away so i changed cush drive rubbers i had some spare no difference,tightened and slackened chain no difference,cleaned and greased mi calipers incase they were binding no difference,checked mi wheel bearings they were fine,decide to check the clutch take engine cover off and i notice straight away very fine metal flakes on inside of cover,i'm on the right track here i think.take pressure plate off clutch and see that the bearing is shagged a smile comes over my face as i know it's an easy fix so after a couple of days of worry my bike is fixed for the grand total of £3.60- result:thumbsup:

    Honda somewhere abroad phoned .me twice today and assured me I will be provided with the right colour nose for my bike as soon as they have identified the correct colour

    just need to get the bike really serviced and put back into top condition ....

    I've had my blade in bits looking for a coolant leak. Turned out to be a cracked jubilee clip on a water pump hose ( discovered when it moved too easily on checking tightness ) I was at my wits end just before I found it.
