Taking my CBR for a shakedown - SV650.org

Got a test day at 3 Sisters in Wigan today will be the first time out for the CBR & the weather forecast doesnt look good.

I have never ridden on Wet tyres yet, so it's going to be a big learning curve. Really looking forward to it tho

You know you will enjoy it

Have a good one and give the sliders some work

Well, what a waste of time. My son ran my FZR400 & was faultless. The CBR didn't even turn a wheel

She has been running fine up until it was time to go out on track when there was a puff of white smoke out of the exhaust & it started to run on 3 cylinders

So it's back to the drawing board.

Sods law, bet that was gutting.

Still, better before the session that it hoofing you off at high speed.

It's made my decision easier, I'm racing my FZR this year & the CBR is going to be a project for my eldest, he wants to race again this season but hasn't got a bike.
Roll on June for my 1st race at 3 Sisters
