Got one for the CBR the other week. The usual drama... leave it as long as poss, then get around to it.. Just to get the last off the rear tyre that is all of 300k old (and 6 months, slack winter). Get my new tyre put on, then they fail it for rear wheel bearing! Red faces all round. 1. I should have noticed before taking it in, 2. they should have checked before taking the wheel off. Or, 3. found it while the wheel was off. Anyway, took the bike back in on the Saturday, got to experience a 04 Yamaha TT660 ( a bit of fun, but not me). Also told me my (6 month old) Front pads were getting down, but just advised me to keep an eye on them and change them soon. I couldn't believe it, the pads must be made of cheese. Today I pulled up to my garage, and blow me down, that horrid graunching sound happened. It best be a nice day on Tuesday, 'cos I will be push biking to work! The good news is I got the carbs balanced while it was in the shop, and it is now much more economical, and has a pile more grunt too.
