CB500/550 / Re: Chasing a brake bleed problem« on: June 27, 2023, 07:49:34 AM »
I bought a set of handle bar grips from them for the CD175 sloper.
Cut the old ones off and came to fit the new ones and the throttle one was incorrect and way too small. I rang them up and explained that the sloper has a metal tube which goes over the cable control and the grip needs to be much larger to fit this. They didn't seem interested and said that the part was correct, well when the guys ear had stopped bleeding he took the measurements of my old one and managed to get the correct part as it is used on other models. GUESS WHAT THE INCORRECT PART IS STILL FOR SALE ON THEIR WEB SITE. Not interested in changing it, so beware anyone buying the grips for a CD175 sloper THEY DO NOT FIT 84

The issue I had with it is getting enough heat into the material you are repairing.

We did a tour of Croatia a few years ago Julie, this took in parts of Montenegro and Bosnia.
I took all EURO cash (well we were in Europe), we got off the coach transfer in a little village in Croatia for lunch on the transfer to the hotel, the courier said I hope you have brought plenty of Kuna I spent the rest of the holiday changing Euro's to Kuna 88

CB750 / Re: Help! Oil issues« on: June 07, 2023, 01:15:15 PM »Sounds to me like you topped it up when it had been stood a while and oil tank had drained into sumpI'm fairly convinced this is the issue if I were a gambling man.. When mine has been stood over winter I drain the sump first before starting it. You would be amazed at the amount in there, just put it back in the tank. |
