I need a new clutch fitting and my brother may come down on his cbf125 and have jonesy cast How healing hands over his brakes.

Wicky I will bring the clutch, oil, tools and paddock stands down Friday evening if that's okay.

Don't forget the clutch side gasket.

I can't remember if I need a replacment the water pump seal/ gasket.

No, it's just an O ring and it's almost certainly reusable; if not gasket silicon works just fine.

the swingarm, new sprockets and polished carrier should be fitted as well.
oh and the mirror extenders and the carbon fibre goodies and the 19ltr tank and the sprint steering damper and the superchips module and list goes on....

May well be interested in attending. However, I am after valve clearances, carb balance & headstock bearings. With valve clearances the bike needs to be cold & travelling from South Wales means I would need to arrive the day before. What's the accomodation situation the the area??

Would somebody be bringing a box of Hot shims to swap mine out??

That's a big ask for a workshop day, remembering that the basic idea is that you do the work yourself, with guidance and support, plus any special tools needed.
I'd be hard pushed to get that lot done in one day if I was doing it all myself andonly had the one bike to work on....
Especially as we are after getting off for a ride-out afterwards, half-four or five-ish sounds about right.

But yes, I will bring enough shims.

[MacV2]

I will have to attend just to even up the RED count can't have these common as muck blue monstrosities taking over.

Better get Yeti on line as well.

No work required at present.

Mac.

That's an easy one, 20 mins with a soldering iron, but bring a few lengths of heatshrink tubing sleeves about 100 mm long.

[Wicky]

I've got a soldering iron + There's a Maplin's & Halfords across town if we need anything extra

[Jonesey]

I will be more than happy to help with anything brake related, I have several braided lines I can bring and am happy to part with for nada.
I also have a proper caliper piston removal kit, so caliper rebuilds no problem.
Also have small selection of new pads too.
If there's anything specific people want done, get in touch so I can bring the exact parts required.
Bazza what's with your bro's brakes?

There is nothing wrong with them(but I bet honda dealer has never serviced them) he wants to learn how to service them so he can make it part of his routine maintenance schedule now he does not send it to honda for serviceing(out of warranty).

is there anything bulky that you need depositing at wicky's, I am happy to take a diversion and drive up to yours to pick it up?

[masterdave]

im coming to this, will be checking/adjusting manual cam chain tensioners (being fitted saturday), and most likely a service if i aint done it by then.....possibly a good clean!
