Hmm, I wonder if that's an genuine Akrapovic....sticker
That is quite obviously legit, it's got the legit angled look and everything.
What did you do to your bike today?

That should last for ten minutes or so before all the rivets work lose which will give you time to find something that isn't a completely gash pile of Chinese crap
Bike still pushes forward when I rev with clutch fully in
Checked manufacturers manual and it says:
I'm going to change the cable anyway as I don't know how old it is. I'll run it with no slack at all and see if it changes...if not i looks like its going to cost me a new set of plates...

when did you last change the oil mowy? seemslike you have clutch drag
my misfire seems to have gone now
i like my bike it fixes itself,could have been bad batch of petrol maybe? but never had that happen before

does it do it more when cold and less when the bikes hot? you might get away with new oil,but might be worth sticking in new plates/oil/filter ect
it should do it less when hot as the oil will be slightly thinner
I havnt noticed it when cold (but I haven't checked) but I have noticed it after about 10 mins riding
This looks like a great way to ruin your fueling
Dam suppose I might as well stick with my scorpion then

For £40 quid get that one as well!! And just how much would the fueling change? How long would it take to consume the difference in prices of the exhausts?
First thing I'd do with a new bike is a complete fluid change.
The issue here is how lumpy/boggy an engine can run with the wrong engine mapping for a specific exhaust, particularly poorly designed (normally cheap) exhausts.

Checked a few bike forums and people are saying:
-Cable adjustment at the clutch arm has done it in some cases
-New/different oil in other cases
-Others it's replacing all clutch plates and springs, which would be new oil as well
I don't mean it will use more fuel - it will probably lean out, use less and create horrible flat spots

If I want to get my CB400 tank repaired/repainted and the bike rebuilt back to it's former glory, I know where I'm going.

Oh Maidstone that's just 30 mins from me. I need my headlight cowl repaired and repainted after a minor accident last year.
If onlybi knew about this two weeks ago
i sent my plastics to a painter in chartham/chilham and he still has them. Unpianted two weeks later... not happy.If onlybi knew about this two weeks ago
Cancel the job with him, take the plastics and go to that guy? I would argue this out, two weeks and nothing is getting done sounds a bit ridiculous tbh... Especially since its a bike we're talking about, not a car.
Edit: How much would it cost to re-paint the SV650S with the fairings? I'm really not a fan of that blue, but damn that price.

Your looking at 200-400 for a complete set plus tank i think plus vat costs. Depends on the place, wether you want a standard or custom colour or any detailing like pinstripes etc. Detailing is where the cost really rises.
