So I'd have a look at that, but you might need a good tune if you change it.

And i dunno if they needed to be certed but i just did everything at the time. I think it is just a flat rate for a low vol cert - doesn't matter if you cert 1 thing or 10 things. I got the seats, engine, gearbox, brakes, lowering and maybe even the wheel tyre combination certed all at once. Can't remember exactly and it's raining and dark outside... can't be assed checking at the moment.

You guy's who ride bikes (road or otherwise) what are your opinions on Honda/Suzuki? If your interested in a honda, my brothers CR250 is for sale Some original photos have not been recovered yet.

Quote: Originally Posted by hsvhel If your interested in a honda, my brothers CR250 is for sale I think I'm putting a deposit on a VL250 tomorrow. Sitting my basic riding test in 2 weeks. I've been waiting so long to get a bike, feels good to finally have it booked in. The one thing I'm a little unsure about this bike is I'm not really supposed to play round with the exhaust and whatever until it's out of warranty period, but I think it should be fine if it's done professionally, and I work right next door to a custom bike shop.. so that will be tempting I've had the same rim go flat over night twice now.. it was fine last night, then I left to go to work this morning and it felt a bit rough, stopped when I could and the tyre was completely flat and off it's bead. I've pumped it back up but I don't really want to put it back on. First time was a month or 2 ago and I took it up to a tyre shop and the guy said a badly fitted wheel weight had pushed the tyre off it's bead. Some original photos have not been recovered yet.
