Hi, New to the forum :)

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

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

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

Quick vid of the cold start ---> http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XNeBF...eature=channel

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.
