Can anyone suggest somes tips or advise on how to tune up my friends motorbike. He has had around 62 out of it, Cheers in advance

Cheers for the advise on the flip up's, I was also considering getting one

I think tomorrow I will try and do a bit of braking practice on my 125. And try and ease it up so that I know what I'm doing when it comes to having to do that big emergency stop. Because personally I think its one of the most important things in keeping you safe on the road. I will try each of the techniques you have all stated and see how they feel at slow speeds for now. Thank you all for the help you have offered and given.

Cheers guys. I'll bare that in mind and have a little go on the bike tomorrow in the daylight.

Does anyone mind if they just talk through the emergency stop on a motorbike? I know this could be a bit of a stupid question but I was looking through peoples experiences of their CBT's. Do you just slam on the brakes? Or do you apply more pressure to either back or front brakes?

Ah I have mine on Saturday. Do I need to have a read of the highway code before hand?

Can I ask if people know of any shows or events in Ipswich area can they post the date and where abouts of them... Cheers, Ross

Oh right, Thanks for that info.

Ok I have just bought this Suzuki en 125 and one of the very small problems is that it has got a crack in the headlight plastic. I tried looking for this plastic replacement on Ebay but could only find a whole new head light. Any ideas if its possible to replace just the plastic inside the headlight?
