Ok, thanks

I must have overfilled my bike earlier today and fuel was leaking out the bottom of this part. Will it be safe to ride once it has stopped leaking? Thanks. Check image for where it was leaking from

Chains and sprockets tend to wear together. It's as the chain stretches that the sprockets wear in sync. Hence you usually change both. 

 

If the chain hasn't worn then the sprockets may be OK to accept a new chain. At 8000 miles I'd change both. But put the old chain alongside the new one and compare length over the same number of links. If there's no difference you can probably get away with it. I suspect you will find the old chain will have worn in comparison to the new one, in which new sprockets will be needed.

Alright, thanks

Im thinking of installing a different chain on my motorbike and I am just wondering if you always replace your sprockets when getting a new chain. My sprockets have about 8000 miles on them, would installing a new chain on them wear the chain more?

Best to get as much no claims bonus as possible or they are liable to give you a punishing insurance quote. I would leave it until near the time that both your CBT and Insurance are due to run out or expire. And try not to claim in the meantime. Once you have your A2 then you can carry on riding your 125 while saving up for a bigger bike. Having both a full license and at least 2 years NCB is actually quite a big deal as far as insurance goes. the more complete years the better.

Yeah I wasnt planning on instantly upgrading, I just wanted to  have a semi full license that doesnt expire, etc

If you are 19 now and have a current CBT you could just do the A2 test. 

You'd need to get your theory test ((ETA somehow missed the post above! opps!)

 

Or is your CBT about to run out?

My CBT runs out in a year but I was just wanted to know beforehand, might consider doing a theory then

Yup, they do pretty much everything they can to put you off and get a car instead

But you don't need to wait 2 years to take your A2 test. If you've passed a CBT and theory test in the last two years, you're eligible to go and take them now. 

Oh thanks might look into doing my theory soon

Pretty much. Very annoying I know 

 

Good luck 

Thank you, this is probably one of the reasons why not a lot of young people are properly getting into riding

You will need to have a current cbt along with theory test pass to take an A2 or A1 license.

 

Just had a look at a couple of schools in my area and they say they require the above before training too. 

 

 

Alright thanks, so im guessing i will have to do my CBT again as well as passing my theory and then i can get an A2

I'm 19 and I have been riding on the road for about a year, I just have a quick question about licenses. Once my CBT has expired after 2 years am I able to get training for an A2 license?
