    Pretty sure it was an older Suzuki GSXR125R with the maximum 15 BHP. Pretty sure its the same bike as one of Shadows mates has.

  14. Yesterday
  15. Unless they were in a bus, then you would crash into a ditch.
  16. All done now and early indications are it has cured the oil burp. The new breathers look too pretty to cover up but I'll know they are there.
  17. Most bicyclists are complete morons and could do with some gentle persuasion to ride in the gutter the just stop oil lot on the other hand need actively culling, if one of them stood in front of my truck I would not stop
  18. Jap bikes are kak. https://www.facebook.com/reel/1893387278241770?fs=e&fs=e
  19. I admire the commitment to making it right!
  20. My CBF600S has the wrong colour front brake callipers. They have obviously been replaced at some point with callipers from a naked CBF600N which are black not gold. They are functionally identical and work fine but it is getting on my tits that it’s wrong. So for no other reason than to satisfy my OCD, I am going to replace them. I got a second hand set of gold callipers from eBay for £27 and at the same time I ordered a rebuild kit for them for £34 from Wemoto. I started stripping and cleaning the callipers up today and to my surprise they are pretty good. All threads perfect and pistons appear spotless. I am waiting for the tool to come to get them out and polish them up. I know there are other ways to get the pistons out but I wanted the right tool which is coming tomorrow. I would guess that I don’t really need to replace the seals but I am going to because I have the new ones on the bench. First attempt at cleaning has brought them up quite well. There are a few minors blemishes here and there but I think the callipers will look fine once they are on the bike, after all it is 18 years old. Of course there will be more cleaning before I fit the new seals. Before anyone pipes up, if this is boring fuck off and read about Marcy’s adventures. I am a bike geak and I like this sort of stuff.
