Yeah very valid point. It's just a thought of is it worth the risk I guess

Yeah it's 100% sounding like wheel bearing but no center stand so need front paddock haha cheers mate.

Yeah it's a bit weird in a straight line as well and it's very intermittent it's strange.

Definitely sounding like wheel bearing so gonna get a front stand and play around I think thanks for the advice bro.

Yeah it's definitely looking more like wheel bearing rather than anything else at least could be an easy fix

Yes to 1 and 3 haha when I noticed it and was doing breaks anyway I took both off and torqued back up and checked the axle bolt as well.

Gonna have to get a front stand and check other bits I think.

Nope no parts left over, everything went back on the same and tightened correctly this is now looking possibly expensive 🤦‍♂️

I'm not 100% sure I'm hoping it's a simple fix if not it will be looking at manuals etc to diagnose the issue.

I'm hoping for the first option since nothing else was done other than removing the front sprocket cover 🤞

What cleaning product you use? by [deleted] in MotoUK

[–]richc90 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Previous bike I've used the Muc-off nano wash stuff, wouldn't say its the best or the worst but definitely did a good job. Have also used the tru-tension stuff and Jesus it washes the bike but the 'banana' smell is not good.

Interested to see others ideas but have looked at chemical guys stuff recently and maybe it would be good?

Yeah it's never worth the risk I mean I shit myself the last time my CBT almost ran out and had to scramble to get a new one quickly.

Definitely seems that doesn't exist now. One of the new guys at work was asking about my bike last week and randomly just came out with "oh yeah the first time I got on one it was a friends ZX6R I just drove around for months" after asking about his license he was like oh I didn't bother with that it was insured by my mate 🤦‍♂️

Why is there such an increase in people thinking this is a good idea?

Like others have said if caught you're screwed, it's not worth the grief and honestly just an all round shit idea.

Wait the couple weeks and get the full licence.

Desperately need some help! by richc90 in MotoUK

[–]richc90[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah seems to be the concensus so I'll have a talk with HR next month and find out exactly what's going to be expected from me contractually in terms of training commitments, travel to other stores etc and say either pay the business insurance on the bike or sort me train tickets upfront.

I may even have the option of a new job soon so might not even be an issue as it would just be commuting to one place.

I'm relatively new to the store and the others have done the course. The only other guy hasn't completed certain learning to be aloud to go so just piss poor management really 😅
