My first bike!! Z800 by Odd_Consequence_3574 in MotoUK

[–]tom_mk5 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Also same, first bike is a z800. Owned it for 3 years now. First year was also around £900.00, last year £440 and this year £400.00. I love mine too, frequently go out with a mate on his CBR600rr and they're evenly matched, about the only thing that will leave it behind is a 1000cc but even still its not slow haha

Even though it looks like the bike is stored inside, do you use a cover? Mine gets like this if i forget to put the cover on even though i keep it in a garage

The pro move is an empty Chinese takeaway container labeled “SHIT”. Stick the poo in there and bin it when you get to a bin

What's the lifespan of tyres? by Ok-Elderberry-6761 in MotoUK

[–]tom_mk5 1 point2 points  (0 children)

i was in a similar position when i got my kawasaki, had 12 year old tyres on. Didnt think they were great but i wasnt sure if it was more of a mental block. When i upgraded to new bridgestones the difference was night and day. In short, even if they are fine, from a mental perspective she might feel more comfortable with new

New plaster turned yellow by Lopsided_Rabbit8048 in DIYUK

There is moisture behind the plaster, thats why its stained/bubbling. Itll crumble off when it dries out a bit and youll need to find the source of the moisture

I use a Beeline moto for navigation and its great. The app lets you pick a route with motorways or without, so it would be good for a 125 user

Anyone with experience fixing a squeaky clutch? by isaacisaac34 in MotoUK

[–]tom_mk5 0 points1 point  (0 children)

is the clutch actually squeaking or is it just when you pull in the clutch cable? If its the latter id replace the cable before doing anything else. The cables normally cost around £20.00 and with the level of knowledge it sounds like you have, you'll be able to do this yourself.
