And finally: INCLUDE A LETTER THAT STATES YOU DO NOT HAVE THE ORIGINAL IMPORT CERTIFIATE AS IT WASN AVAILABLE AT TIME OF PURCHASE - this is basically the reason why my application got rejected twice, the instruction you get is vague at best!

Very important and new requirement - mine was rejected last week because of no covering letter.
The guy I spoke to at DVLA said the “rules” had changed the previous week.

And rather than actually contacting you they wait two weeks and fire the whole application back to you with no real explanation, and when you send it back they wait another two weeks to respond!

After my first rejection I wrote a covering letter stating very clearly to call or email me if they required anything else but they chinned me off a second time and sent my pack back. I called up and asked why on Earth they wouldn’t just call people to ask them to email further details and the bloke couldn’t give me an answer

Another weekend another question!

Been doing all the cables this evening, when doing the clutch cable the arm was in the correct place but I pushed it forward hard to get the cable in and it stayed forward. Have tried giving it a tap but it won’t disengage. Anyone got any tips? The clutch is bone dry as there’s no oil in the bike and obviously the bikes been standing a long time.



Please note the clutch arm is on backwards as it gave me something to tap with a rubber mallet. Little reluctant to take the cover off as I gave the gasket a good coating of hondabond

Take the clutch housing off again and you should never use sealant on a gasket, you will get strings that will block the oil jets.

Hondaman recommends it in his book IIRC due to it being a common site of oil leaks?

Well, if Hondaman recommends it, then i better start using it on gaskets after 28 years  ;D ;D ;D

Didn't the Hondaman book tell you to attach the cable to the clutch arm, before the clutch lever  ;D
