| Re: CBR400 section goes live! Has Surf got his name down? Im sure he would love to look after that section.
Do we have to be a Cbr400 owner to put our hand up?

| Re: CBR400 section goes live! PM's can be unlocked through user CP - they should be working. Anyway it's pretty easy to look after a section, it's all about keeping things in order and making sure the posts are related to the CBR400.

| Re: CBR400 section goes live! So we're now officially a team
Well, for the first related posting on the CBR400. I've got to pop out now and buy a long, thin posi drive screwdriver. Why? I hear you ask. Because three out of four plugs are currently running an unpleasant white colour, which means it's time to get my hards dirty.
The long screwdriver's necessary to get to no.s 2 and 3 carb inlet rubbers. To try and adjust the pilot screw settings without taking the carbs off is a bit like p*ssing in the wind otherwise. It's a PITA but unless you have incredibly small hands, it's the only way.
I'll report back later. See ya all |

| Re: CBR400 section goes live! I have upgraded your permissions now so you can edit & delete posts. Send me a PM if you have any questions.  Should we let the 250 and 125 guys in here?

They're they only restricted to the CBR400 posts correct?

I personally think they should use that time honoured tradition to build their section too. That said, I don't think I'm going to get too anal if they decide to call us home. Twin, what's your thoughts?
Btw, I still haven't seen any CBR125s. Do they really exist? |

Quote: Honda are bringing Britain's #1 selling bike to Australia and with an introductory (expires August 31, 2007) $300 cashback lowering the price to $3990m Big Red will be hoping that their new pocket rocket can make significant inroads into the Australian market. .
For their hard-earned dollars, riders will not just be getting a plain Jane, bargain basement mutt – the CBR125R is one impressive motorcycle.
With styling similar to Honda's CBR600 and CBR1000, there is a strong family resemblance that provides the all-important image factor. According to Honda's National Sales Manager, Jason Nicholas, the manufacturer is very excited about the new addition to their fleet.
"There are plenty of younger riders out there who want access to an affordable bike that still offers the qualities and the look of a full blown sport bike. Until now, there really hasn't been anything on the market to cater to this group of riders," Nicholas said. |

I feel i've had my carbs off more times than I've had hot dinners over the last month!!! The first time we didnt have a long screw driver (and the shops were shut) so botched one together in the garage.. (screwdriver bit in a socket on the end of a screwdriver!).. I slip my hands under the carbs, between everything else to guide the screwdriver bit into place.. Its a piece of cake if you have little hands!!!!!
I will buy a long screwdriver at some point though.. just so I dont have to faff about!! |
