If it was not balanced with the brake discs fitted you might just as well rip the weight(s) off cos the balance is crap! why were the disc's off ?? is it a Honda thing ?? You know Neill, as I know, any addition to a balanced assembly will add unbalance which will need correcting. i know Ken but why would they unbolt the disc when fitting a tyre?? mine have never been removed and I dont see why they would.

running in advice
Neill replied to Davehutch-hutchs's topic in Advice on Repairing and maintaining your bike
Did u read the post I placed earlier what u are proposing is for older machines when the honeing was less accurate. today machining is far superior. hmmm Ive run in three bikes in the last ten years and I workeed for an engine manufacturer, the high quality off modern machining is all well and good but running in is about gradually wearing away the m/cing marks thats why the run in period is a lot shorter than in the days of ford anglia's but if it was my bike would I follow advise from a website or the manufacturer. for me the manufacturer would win hands down. BTW the yanks are crap engineers why did they invent loctite ?? -

dont use full throttle until at least a 1000 miles while the internals are tight it can bend the crank. the engine needs to be stressed then allowed to cool let it accelerate smoothly through the gears then slow down to allow the engine to cool avoid sitting at a set rpm for more than a few minutes and gradually increase the throttle opening as mileage increases but avoid full throttle all this steady riding will cause the rings/bores to glaze a little but a good thrash later will remove this and allow the rings to seal did I mention dont use full throttle until your past 1000 miles ?its very important Good Luck M8 and enjoy -

I thought the Vietnamese special where Clarkson rode a scooter was awesome and looking at him riding he was enjoying it as well, even when he got soaked,and when he came off, but like all journo's anything to get people's attention so print something controversial. but captain slow's a better rider than him

Bandit service (advice )
Neill replied to Davehutch-hutchs's topic in Advice on Repairing and maintaining your bike
[/quote] it felt good putting New oil in her , and deep down I think she appreciated too [/quote] change mine every 1000 miles m8. Mechanic at straightline racing told me years ago the most important thing for the bandit engine was regular oil changes, they drag race them and thats good enough for me -
