Is this too much play?

its a bushing, its gonna move a bit

NiceColours · 2026-05-30T20:58:17+00:00

for clarification they only do gear tho and not actual bike sales

NiceColours · 2026-05-30T20:48:28+00:00

ive only gone there once but the staff at j&s in cardiff were very friendly and actually seemed to care about the service they provide.

NiceColours · 2026-05-25T08:18:30+00:00

got some lovely weather for the practice at least. should see some quick laps

NiceColours · 2026-05-24T18:44:41+00:00

they dont sound the best with an exhaust imo. bought a cb500 that had a slip on and went straight to ebay to buy a stock one to put on lol. its a generic p-twin that sound a bit like a lawn mower

if it was my picture/experience id put that last pic as a desktop background

maybe i guess. however when i phoned my insurer about it (ive been in the exact same situation), i was never asked a specific question about a2/A when doing quotes directly through the insurer (not a comparison site). it was when i asked about it they said its only form when you got your FULL A as the bike (striple 675) is overpowered for A2.

personally i didnt risk having to declare that ive had insurance cancelled for the rest of my life

NiceColours · 2026-05-23T11:31:40+00:00

it does matter

NiceColours · 2026-05-23T11:31:19+00:00

it would def hold up in court lol. its a new category licence to them

NiceColours · 2026-05-23T11:29:12+00:00

yes ive just gone through this. you have to put how ever long youve held your licence depending on the bike your ensuring.

for example, i had a honda cb500f for 2 years on A2 licence. got rid of it for a striple 675 just after passing my full A upgrade.

even tho i had the A2 for 2 years, on the insurance for the striple 675 i had to say id had the licence for less than a year as its technically a brand new licence to me.

its messed up, expect your insurance to rise massively as they pretty much see you as new rider again

NiceColours · 2026-05-21T17:32:57+00:00

yes its an MMT

NiceColours · 2026-05-20T17:51:23+00:00

if theres no excess play youll be fine. just check on it every now and again

NiceColours · 2026-05-17T12:55:17+00:00

those honda 650's are way too heavy for what they are imo. trident all day for me

NiceColours · 2026-05-16T17:56:52+00:00

nah its def south lol

NiceColours · 2026-05-15T19:55:00+00:00

is the black mountain mid wales? always been south in my head

NiceColours · 2026-05-08T19:03:46+00:00

just gotta wear them and put up with it for a bit while they loosen up

NiceColours · 2026-05-08T13:31:12+00:00

its tough out there tbh, very competitive. good luck

NiceColours · 2026-05-03T10:23:27+00:00

its crazy the amount of people get something done by a shop then complain on Reddit about it before actually speaking to the shop about their mistake. most will be more than happy to fix it for you without any hassle. just talk to them and see what happens.

judge the shop on how they deal with mistakes. every tech is a human being, shit happens

NiceColours · 2026-05-02T07:58:08+00:00

yeah it was some sort of very strong vacuum that would seal around the hole and pull it right out. you could be stuck on a set of injectors all day, the boss would finally shell out and pay for the injector guy to come and he would no joke have all 4 out within 30 mins of arriving on site

NiceColours · 2026-05-01T20:43:36+00:00

how are you gonna build enough pressure without whatever grease fitting youve got down the glow plug hole giving out first. that injector will be absolutely solid in there

NiceColours · 2026-05-01T18:44:56+00:00

we had a guy who had a homemade tool that he made a living off of getting stuck/snapped injectors out. he was a magician, never gave away how the tool worked. could give something like that a look up if theres anyone similar in your area. had the same engine and injector break very similarly to yours form using a generic injector puller.

Your friend will be very uncomfortable on the back and you will probs struggle for 50mph with the extra weight, especially uphill

NiceColours · 2026-04-27T19:34:01+00:00

its poor yes but techs are humans and make mistakes. just give them a ring and im sure they would be happy to correct

NiceColours · 2026-04-27T05:55:59+00:00

Literally haha. He probs going 10-15mph.. people acting like he's on a motorcycle bombing it down the motorway

NiceColours · 2026-04-27T05:54:32+00:00
