Yep it's winter, less time riding & more time spent in the garage where at least it's dry. I give the bikes their service, so got the CB250RSD into the garage today.  It's a bit easier than the SD, for a start removing the tappet covers means no faffing about to get the rocker cover off  It's a bit of a pain that there's no replaceable oil filter, the engine side cover has to be removed to clean a wire gauze. but the balance chain can be done at the same time & it's a better system than the SD, there's a more powerful spring & after releasing the lock nut & letting the spring do it's job, you just push it back one mark to get the correct chin tension  Same again next wet day - the RSA |
