It's a fuel Injection, so I guess I need to look at some sensors if the air isn't my issues. Is it around the throttle body I need to check?
Mileage is 7500

I tried to look at how to adjust the idle but couldn't find it in the Haynes. Where should I check for air leaks? And do you know how I would adjust the idle/what it should be?

Yes oil was at the upper limit checked that at the same time as the air filter

Hello my bikes idle is a bit rough even after a 45 min ride home. I've looked in my Haynes and it suggests to check the ignition system but I've got no electrical testing equipment. I've checked the air filter and that's in good condition (changed about 2 months ago at purchase). I'm going to give it a redex treatment at my next fill up to see if there's any build up in the engine. Is there anything else I can check?
I've attached a video of the idle, it's worse near the end.

Mine has no kill switch so I'm ok! Although I'm going in fancy dress

I have ALDI gloves and boots, the boots don't seem to let water in and are pretty good for the price. I know ALDI near me still has some boots in which may be an option if you're on a budget.

The only way you will damage your engine from cold is if you give it full beans soon as you leave the drive, I wouldn't sit there holding it at 4k RPM to warm it up.

I worry about making noise on my 125 and dreading upsetting people when I get a bigger and no doubt noisier bike. The guy is just inconsiderate, I only use mine to go to work. If he's revving it to do work on it at those time he is just being a twat.

Get a Vango two man tent. Can't go wrong with vango gear.
They look decent but out of my price range
My next purchase is some soft panniers.here you go big but cheap and old http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Motorcycle-Throw-over-panniers-Frank-Thomas-/282063451804?hash=item41ac4ab69c:g:qm8AAOSwnFZXWWwo" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false;
Excellent, thanks! Do these things fit any bike?

Just ordered that tent but the reviews show it isn't the best at keeping water out! Will bring along an extra tarp sheet I think. Every time I've been camping I've slept in a puddle
Edit: cancelled that order and got this, has much better reviews and it's only 60cm long when packed up.

Excellent, I'll have a go at loading up the weekend before so I can see how I do. I'm not taking loads so I shouldn't have too many issues!

This reminds me I still need to buy a tent! I've seen a few but I have no idea what's easiest on a bike. Can anyone recommend me a 1-2man tent that's easy enough to get on a bike?

This too big?

After tiggies Halfords recommendation I was literally just looking at the same one! Is it easy to strap a tent and sleeping bag to the back? What am I going to need to do so?

Passed my theory this morning, I was bricking it for some reason. No idea why as I've been on a road for nearly 8 years so most of it I just knew anyway. I'd convinced myself I'd failed during the questions but made sure I gave the hazard perception a good go just in case. I only got 3 questions wrong in the end! Very happy, now just to save up some more pennies for the DAS!

I'm after a cheap way of being able hear directions from my phone. I could stick it in my pocket with ear phones but that's quite hard and it always falls out of my ear when the helmet comes on. Are there any cheap Bluetooth headsets? I don't even need a microphone, just a receiver. Thanks.

I'm hoping to have a bigger bike by then but I may just keep hold of the Keeway just to antagonise [emoji38]

I did wonder if you'd manage to keep hold of the 125 until you said

Be great to see you again Gin.
Yay! 
You too! Can't wait to see your outfit.. If someone brings a Chinese bike to maintain, well dispense with the spanners and just use the matches.Between you, Glorian and Rant there's going to be quite the pyre awaiting sacrifices
I'll bring some firefighters and marshmallows...
I guess we will need them when the burning of Chinese bikes gets out of hand.

I need to pull my finger out and get something! Even a few pubs, there's a George & Dragon 2 mins away and a Royal Oak. I've rode past them both loads

Congrats to Micky D in the superbike race yesterday, obliterating the lap record in the process. I was there in 2014 when he won 4 TT's, my money's on him doing it this year.
Unreal speed, first sub-17minute lap wasnt it?
Yes also in the porcess broke the TT lap record doing 133.393mph and this was on his first lap from standing still not fly-by lap!
Great ride for Micky D congrats
The 133.393 lap was his second lap, however he did beat the standing record on his first lap with a 133.369. Massive difference I know
his first lap was the sub 17 though . -
What bike is it Westbeef? Do you have a workshop manual?
I do and a CBF 125
. To be fair I'm happy with how it's runs right now, I thought my brakes were rubbing but I've been told by a few the noise is normal and I don't notice it at all now. -
What's your favourite song into? This is mine

I'm going to come with a list of niggles with my bike so I can find out if they're normal or how can I sort it
