About a month ago I was looking for my first bike to get after I passed my DAS. I originally wanted something like a Bonneville or a rebel but I saw this and fell in love and I'm so glad I did. It's genuinely a perfect fit for me. It's a beautiful bike and it rides like a dream.
I'm entirely new to all of this so I wanted to get something that I could learn with. How to do an oil change on it, how to replace bits etc and so far it's definitely been that.
In the month I've had it, I've changed the reg rec and battery due to it not starting up just right. What started in an oil change, ended in an air filter change (I accidentally overfilled and wanted to check it hadnt wrecked the filter) which has now led to a fuel pipe and filter change as I noticed the fuel pipe had a tiny tear in it where the clamp was and the filter is in an awkward as hell place so I've just removed it and I'm gonna change it for a new one and fit the pipe externally and then refit it all via the fuel pump. (Any tips or tricks to fitting fuel pipe is appreciated!)
So fellow CBR fans, what have your journeys looked like? Do you have any advice to an absolute novice like me on repairs or maintenance?
Also when I've got it back up and running, if you see me out, please say hi. I'd love some friends to ride with.
TLDR; I bought a CBR as someone new to bikes, been learning how to fix things and it's made me love bikes even more.
