Road: Poking around II. The return of the digit
You have an itch, you scratch it, you make it worse, you scratch again anyway. This CBR has an itch and I went and scratched it again. The main itch being a cooling system that was a touch excitable, not letting the bike reach temperature. The blame for that lay mostly with the thermostat presumably which is located, inconveniently, in that nice space behind the barrels and under the carbs, airbox and fuel tank. Such joy. Begin the fun! Off with the tank which was not rubber mounted and had the wrong bolts. Good start. The tank drains into a neat little cup thing so there is only one hose to disconnect that being the fuel feed to the fuel pump. Hang on this thing has a fuel pump? I have never heard that thing run up best order another one. That aside, literally, I had the airbox to crack into. Which, a few screws later proved to contain no furry animals and a grubby K&N air filter. About time I found something good and lucky I have the proper cleaner and oil. Next off...
