WD40 is just to lubricate wire wool/ Brillo pads to cleans the rims. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

XTreme Posted November 29, 2020 Share Posted November 29, 2020 Why don't the Authorities do something about this shit instead of leaving it for me to inadvertently splash in?

Fish Posted November 29, 2020 Share Posted November 29, 2020 Washed the bike then cleaned/waxed the chain. Getting pi$$ed off with not having bobbins to make the rear stand an easy task to do. Fish Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No since september ship went to Germany, Mukran in Baltic, but we will go to China by the end of December or early January. ship will get Chinese flag and crew to cruise in China by the time rest of the world wake up and allow us to cruise. so far we were lucky to keep our jobs and salaries, but if we don’t start cruise soon all ships will go to Chinese market. fingers crossed Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They're about £20 Then add the £55 for the bobbin mounting brackets to replace the OE Yam 125 chain adjuster blocks.

As i use this for the old cbr600 Its a length of threaded rod that goes through and i just attach bobbins and use that for quick lift ( Remove after use though) 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fish Posted November 30, 2020 Share Posted November 30, 2020 I think it's down to cost cutting on 125's as it's a 2019 model bike. There are two blobs (technical term) that would be drilled out for the bigger models. Fish Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
