£90! no worries man, glad to help

yeah almost certain but if you want the original one in chrome for your custom you'll need this one, keep the screws and the rubber pads cause it's just the case you'll be buying

where'd you buy your bike mate? any chance of it being under warranty? I'm no pro so i can't tell you exactly whats going on with your bike. I've only been riding a year an a half and haven't done any serious work on my bike but, something thats helped me to understand the machine a lot better is buying a Haynes manual and reading through it. It explains how to do everything from change a chain to overhaul the engine. I'd only be making a stab in the dark if were to, on the basis of a self service manual, make a 'diagnosis' so i'm not going to. I don't recommend you start taking it to pieces either and end up having to cart it to a mechanic in a wheel barrow but since you know the background history of your bike, and until someone more qualified can help, it might be a place to start and it would probably help people on here help you better to.

alright mate, try brooksbarn motorcycle parts for your clocks cover. Mine's in the post.

Hi Scott I've had a crappy experience with Keys as well, it cost me about £300 cause I wanted an official service and a stamp in my service record. Since I missed the first 2 (1 was free apparently but don't remember being told about it, its just a tire kick) they took the money and told me it was no longer under warranty and that i couldn't get any more official servicing from them, all they did was change a tire and the chain (and the oil, little things) so waste of time. About your question, I've been riding my ybr for about a year and half and i notice that on windy days it just seems to loose power like that. I've only ever managed 75 going down hill, maybe it wasn't a big enough hill, but yeah if its windy and pissin it down going up hill it'll get stuck at 50. The higher octane stuff makes the bike sound better but i haven't really noticed much of an improvement in performance or mpg. I don't pay much attention to manuals but it does say only use regular unleaded and not the high octane stuff, no idea why, burns hotter? more stress on the engine? Having dropped my bike the other day and found out how easy it is get parts of eBay i'm gonna mod it, they're fun bikes and i can't afford anything bigger till i finish uni so i'll just stick with it for a few years. By the way, check out bikes of brighton for kit. Steve from clothing takes care of you - gives you a decent price and has only sold me good kit. I bought a leather Richa jacket that kept me warm and dry through winter (with a jumper underneath) and 2 quality helmets - a shark s500 air which was budget but kept me dry and saved my noggin when i head butted the concrete in a spill and my new one - a shark vision r in black with red detail on the front vent. The new helmet was £220 (i was looking for something more upmarket this time) but is way better than the more expensive (£270) Shoei quest, it has at least 4 features that Shoei haven't bothered with. I even got a recomendations on tattoo artists that are worth a shout in Sussex haha. When i did buy some gloves that weren't up to scratch i got em swapped straight away and i don't know how much your mates have been able to do on your bike but if you reckon your front forks are still out - it wasn't cheap - but i got mine straightened for £40 at bikes of brighton garage. That was labour cost for an hour. Anyways, hopefully no more spills, costs too much! good luck mate

I didn't know how easy it was to get parts from eBay! New handle bar and clock cover on the way by the way just read the 'netiquette' section, thanks for your response.

Hi, I've been riding for a year and half on my CBT now and I love my little YBR, through wind, rain or snow she gets me where I need to be. Unfortunately, today, a jealous driver saw me coming down the hill next to the stationary traffic and thought it would be a good idea to close the gap i was indicating into. After an unsuccesful combination of swerving and breaking (one or the other apparently, do not repeat) i've ended up with broken clocks, wonky handlebars and a bruised ego. Can anybody give us some guidance as to how to repair this? Will any old handlebars fit? do i need part numbers to get a new clock cover? also the frame for the clock cover has been bent quite a bit, should i bend it back into shape or is it possible to replace the frame and if so how do i find one? I'll post some pics when i figure out how. The driver behind the ****head stayed put to make sure i was ok and help me off the road but I forgot to ask if he got plate numbers and it was too late by the time I remembered so i won't bother with a police report and the damage won't reach the excess so i'll just sort this myself. I've never done any repair work, just routine maintenance - so any tips would be great! Since, I'm gonna be shelling out for this anyway i was thinking about maybe changing the headlight, any tips to avoid buying something that wouldn't fit or work would also be good. Thanks for reading.
