Hi, I found the forum through google, thought it would be a smart idea to join up

My names Sam, from Norfolk in England

I bought my CBR400RR Tri Arm back in october 09 for when I pass my test. When I bought it, it had 18800km in the clock, fresh fork seals and a fresh battery

 

welcome bud...I love that bike, super clean lookin , make yer self at home....peeece

 

Very cool bike, Sam. Like Classic said, we don't see many 400s come through, and yours is a real clean example.
Welcome to the forum!

 

Thanks for the warm welcome guys, seems like a really friendly forum here

Hopefully I can contribute something to the forum, even if it's just pics of how to do some of the more awkward jobs on this bike Things like changing the plugs is a pain, and if you do it by the book it takes forever.

I have a few odd jobs to do before I get it on the road, like changing the lhs clip on, the front pads and a full service, it starts easily enough, but it's been sat up for 3 years so I want to keep it in top working order

Sam, your bike sounds great. Wow.
And it's been up for 3yrs?? That's amazing. I wouldn't have guessed it.

Like Classic said, if you ever feel like doing a couple "how to" threads, we'd love to have them.

 

Hi and welcome aboard Sam!
Beautiful CBR400...neat bike,they didnt sell it here in the states so it's always nice to see one
Have fun & enjoy the forums
