  1. sold our 12/13yr old 14thou mile honda cbf125 for far less that slow moving mobile bonfire costs, the left over would have paid for insurance, tax and fuel for the year and maybe the cbt. the cbf will last far longer, parts for many years yet and WAAAAAAAAY better in every category....
  2. . the tyre faces 360 degree, mostly on a flatish axis, they should be rolling towards the direction intended with the profile curvature of the tyre (motorbike unquie design) allowing .
  3. also v fine dirt/organic matter (black/dark part) that DOES and WILL pass the seals, hence why old oil is thicker and smells so bad.

    Hi

    Hi. why not?
  6. balancing the wheel with those stands is easy as the wheel barely has to be pushed/moved to show you what it needs. certainly less effort than fighting a tyre off the rim to be honest and some tyre brands are easier than others too. as mentioned before by fiddle and curly the worst part is getting the beading to seat if the tyre is being difficult... over a few tyre changes you can re cope the cost and its all money saved, your weights and rim protection replacements cost very little and a tiny tube of rim paste or diy version will last a lifetime plus do the mates as well to speed up the savings/earning and get better at it to boot.
  7. https://www.abbastands.co.uk/product-detail.asp?item=tyre-change-package&pid=38 from a trusted brand all the kit you need, knowledge and experience of use is not included.
  8. had many different manufacturers, shoei is very good for almost everything. only a few things i wish as better was the visor mechanism and the pu coating 9f the lower cheek pads not made of tissue paper.
  9. save up your money for a better bike and better tuition.
  10. hope so
  11. I'll say it straight, dont bother get a better and bigger bike.
  12. very rare to throw a weight unless its shite weights or shoddy fitter work. my local mech is old school (racers way) and uses gyro...weve had a few tyres changed by him and never found a problem.
  13. they need to make some money out of it after all their doing you a service -and everyone takes a cut of distributions, storage, delivery....sounds about right for cost so your not being ripped off thats just the cost of it, you could just get a different set of tyres like an older generation of the same to get something cheaper -what tyres are they? there are some terrible sellers on line. looking at it another way they wouldnt know what or where you got those tyres from and there storage conditions so if there was any fault it would be easy to blame the fitter and they have to sign their name to it... you could save a few quid over the years of buying the equipment to do it (simple hand operating ones) but that means buying it and storing it in the first place. if you get to know the guys and be a "easy going regular" they might more often lower the cost or throw in some other nices that others would charge, sometimes it pays off to keep it local woth an independent.
  14. https://www.halfords.com/tools/hand-tools/screwdrivers-and-hex-keys/rolson-51pc-screwdriver-and-bit-set-721260.html Rolson 51pc Screwdriver and Bit Set 721260 cant find my old one now but they were a arse to find on their web site begore but you could buy this and just use the bit you need with a spanner as OC said beforehand. Zo
  15. good idea but if you dont have a cutter or hate the idea of chopping a good set up.. bought this hex set from halfords about a year for so ago, under £20, used it for loads of parts on the suzuki and cbf.
