Fitted R1 calipers and new ferodo HH pads to the 1000
Long overdue front brake fluid change tonight for mine, been meaning to get round to it since I got the bike...Before:http://imgur.com/aaWLMrBNasty. After:http://imgur.com/ZSwiAcklooks pretty yellow in the photo, trick of the light I think.This one is the old brake fluid I promise (even if it doesn't look or smell like it)http://imgur.com/ElenK7KI'm hoping this may help with the low speed vibration through the lever I've had since I changed the pads. New hoses soon, I've a feeling the ones on there are 1999 originals...

Thought I would post this as it was a problem I had with Head lights a cople of years ago on my 2003 Foxeye FZS 600.I saw a post from you re: headlamps not or stopped working, I had a similar problem with my 2003 Foxeye FZS 600, the headlights would go out and other strange things happen in the Speedo Tacho area, one of the clocks stopped working, the problem was intermittent the next time i switched the lights on they would work sometimes for a few hours and sometimes just for a few minutes and again sometimes not at all. I spent hours under the seat and tracing the wiring through right from the battery back to rear lamp (Wasn't sure which way headlamps were fed) and eventually found the culprit under the left hand side (As your sitting on the bike) of the front fairing inner black cover (Held on by three screws) one screw by the clocks, one on the outside rear or the fairing and one on the black inner fairing cover towards the rear. under there is a white coloured multi electrical connector. I don't recall exactly how many wires are entering and exiting it but between 8 and 10 would be my guess, anyway water gets into this connector and the pins and sockets inside it corrode and cause intermittent connection problems, some of the connections were still ok but the corroded ones (4 of them 8 ends) I cut the wires tight either side of the connect itself, bared 1/2 inch of wire on the two loose ends of each wire slipped a 3" length of shrink fit over one end of each pair, soldered the wires together and covered with the shrink fit and heated with a match to shrink it down to a tight fit on the wires. I did this on the four pairs of wires (All coloured matched so should not make any mistakes) I also run a cable tie around the two parts of the connector to hold them together and sprayed it with WD 40. that was three years ago and have had no problem with it since.I hope this is useful and helps, if this does not turn out to be relevent to your lights issue its still worth knowing, as you may be able to help someone else if they have the problem that I had.
Left it in the garage, to much ice on the roads for 2 miles around my house
Been there, done that, wore the T-shirt, I just don't bounce as well as I used to Ice is for the younger, fitter foccers In the pics mine is the orange one
Took it to work this afternoon, first ride outside the neighborhood since "the accident" 3 1/2 weeks ago. Blue sky and clear roads, even though it's chilly, it felt good.
