After riding onto a nail that ended making two holes in my rear tyre (see pic attached), I had no choice but to change it…and as front tyre had already no rubber anymore, was a good occasion :p
Meet this huge fan of CB400 at Cylcletreads, Dave, that offered to change my exhaust for something lauder and that would give bit more power to my baby...
And having a quite shaky and weak handling on the bike, he decided to check fork oil: took off only 350ml when the manual was stating 510ml! Quite a huge difference ey!
Got new tyres so: michelin pilot power, looks better and i'll see if it is a good change or not after few more kms!
New handling: so much firmer and straight, the bike front does not move anymore on corners (and makes me go faster hehe)
New exhaust: :Punk: now people hear me arriving, i hear the bike when i'm riding, and i can hear my bike when i'm riding with some gixxers and others bigger cc bikes :p
Now still need changing brake fluid, check oil, and maybe change chain, seat cover, changing handlebars..but last ones will be for later on, when i'll have a bit of money again...
Thanks much to Dave for his time and help, and Chris for helping too :D!!!
