Ro's Fireblade Issues

Looked at it, smoking exhaust, petrol fumes galore and hot as anything after finishing todays 70mile round trip... and wandered... how many times can I do this 70mile trip on a 2003 blade that already has 49k on the clock?

any advice on keeping this going... I'm not sure I can afford Honda dealer prices and don't know trustworthy garages up here (Telford/Birmingham way) yet...

You can do an oil and filter change yourself, that's easy enough.

What about the fact its running really rich and slightly lumpy on acceleration? Im scared this is going to be bad... !

sounds like your clearances need checking.

or could be air getting in some were it should not check your airbox is sealed and all the rubber hoses going to the throttle boddies

Good advice. Ask Kwacky for his details.

I've posted on your facebook page.

As all above but if you're doing a few bits yourself eg oil, air filter I'd add a new spark plug to the list if it's smelling rich and not pulling well. Good luck.

Sorry to here this Ro. Hope it's a simple fix for you. Hondas are bullet proof bet it just needs a good old service

[SMILING FACE WITH OPEN MOUTH AND SMILING EYES] tell you what Kwacky my piston is in need of a good old service, it's been running dry for a while [PENSIVE FACE][SMILING FACE WITH OPEN MOUTH AND SMILING EYES] it may die to Christmas, I bought her a nice ring but the shop needed to order it in so she just got little bits and pieces on a Christmas day...think she's a bit mad [SMILING FACE WITH OPEN MOUTH AND TIGHTLY-CLOSED EYES] I didn't realise it would take 3-4 weeks to get the bloody thing here [SMILING FACE WITH OPEN MOUTH AND SMILING EYES] haha

No one needs a dry piston... or an unavailable ring to service.

Ro that's made me chuckle [SMILING FACE WITH OPEN MOUTH AND SMILING EYES]

This piston needs to have oil around it, far too long it has been sitting there for, feel like a clapped out car that needs working on but the owner is taking a break from the project [SMILING FACE WITH OPEN MOUTH AND SMILING EYES]
