NGK CR7E is quite a common plug, loads of them for sale on eBay. I'd be more concerned about a mechanic who tells you to supply your own parts
It does look like a fit of a fiddly job to change them but definitely doable. Here's a video I found on youtube...........
It's a great engine, I can't see what weight it is but if they can get it at 150kg or less it could be a proper litlle pocket rocket.............
Just had a look on the UK website, it's 188kg
It looks like you caught that just in time Fred, pay attention to the cam chain tensioner while you're in there. The one on my XR650L caused me a fair bit of aggro.
Lol, it's nothing bad at all. I have an unused Riders's Manual for R 1200 GS and I wondered if you wanted it. It's 09.2009 1st edition . Like I say , if you want it I will post it too you.
I might choose to get my leg back................ BUT........................ what would be the point if I no longer had a bike to ride. I'm not feckin walking everywhere
You cruel bugger , those bikes can't be more than a few months old
The youngster will learn eventually , it's not all about using more and more throttle when the going gets sticky
