First ride misery.

<< < (7/9) > >>

Graeme77:
Just had a 15 mins jaunt around some local roads, max limit of 40mph so no real testing, but seems ok.

Not quite as quick as i was expecting, but as its my first proper bike thats no bad thing :)

It hesitates sometimes when you whack the throttle open from low speeds but i seem to remember reading this is tunable with the air screws so ill have a little play with those.

Ill go a bit further this afternoon, see if i can build up some confidence in it.

Hi Greme glad to hear the part helped 8), hope you get the rest of the little niggles sorted, cheers Mick.

Graeme77:
Yeah, thanks alot for that, without that advancer it would still be stuck in the garage.

Front brake feels a bit poor. Its been rebuilt, has HEL lines and new pads. Im hoping the pads will bed in a bit.

If not, ill convert to twin discs.

Not sure how it should be, doubt i ever will unless i get to ride another cb750.

The brake on my old 125 (i know, LOTS less weight!) was great, could get the front tyre chirping with perfect controll, could lift the back wheel if i wanted too.

The CB750 front brake only seems to slow it down, feels like the brake on my work colegues crappy scooter LOL.

Ill wait and see if it improves before making any judgements though.

mick:
Graeme did you find the little badge i put in for you? it was tied in the top of the bag the advancer was in? cheers Mick.

Graeme77:
No, but i still have the packaging, ill go check.

thanks :)

Edit, got it, thanks! Love it  8)
