Working every weekend at the moment, but if you're free during the week, give me a shout..... Or, come over to the bike meet in Lytham St Annes on a Monday night ... I'm usually there, if I'm not working.....
Just to keep on topic ...... cleaned the CBR today .... It's looking much better!

How did the new seat shape up??? Comfy???
The bike meet on Mondays is in St Annes Square, in the 2 main car parks. Usual meet time is between 6.30pm and 8.30pm, although, sometimes goes on much later if it's a really sunny evening..... Let me know if you're coming over, cos it gets very busy if the sun's out (500 ish bikes on a good night ... a lot less if it's cold n wet).
Congrats on the pass

I did my carbs today, put the jets in boiling water with carb cleaner - that did the trick - after ten mins runs very good now the water temp clock is not working though but it was a junk yard dog when I got it and I have a green wire loose and if I put it to the body the temp clock needle moves , so i have no idea where it goes. The fan comes on ![Icon Frown](https://cbrforum.com/forum/images/smilies/icon_frown.gif)

Replaced my front wheel bearings - left side one was so bad the wheel was wobbling ![EEK!](https://cbrforum.com/forum/images/smilies/eek.gif)
The rumble (under braking)from the front end which I thought was discs has now disappeared too.![Smile](https://cbrforum.com/forum/images/smilies/smile.gif)
I will have to have one pinch bolt drilled out as it snapped when removing them.......
Oh well, old bikes are always full of surprises

I looked lovingly at the CBR1000F sitting forlornly in the shed, whilst the torrential rain/hail tattooed the roof! ![Icon Brr](https://cbrforum.com/forum/images/smilies/icon_brr.gif)
But big plans are afoot (as soon as the sun comes out). I HAVE the Yoshimura cans - I HAVE the heatproof paint and primer to turn them black. I HAVE the exhaust heatwrap, I HAVE all the parts to build a copy of CoolTim's regulator/rectifier. I HAVE borrowed Naga-Thai's carbytune manometers to tune the carbys.
With the new job, I don't have the free time during the day to attack these jobs!
Lookin' forward to seeing the sun
Cheers, SB

Replace the fuel tube. I'm going to spray carb cleaner as i had to unbolt the intake to fit in the fuel tube. I would like to flush the coolant but can't seem to find the drain plug. Any one knows where is it? or an easy way to drain all the coolant? I don't have a Haynes manual yet. Thanks
