General / What the foc! "Do motorcyclists have erectile dysfunction?"
« on: 07 July 2013, 05:08:50 pm »
It cannot be true 
:
AbstractThe aim of the present study was to evaluate the relationship between motorcycling and erectile dysfunction (ED). We investigated the relationship between motorcycling and erectile function using the 5-items version of the International Index of Erectile Function (IIEF5) in 234 motorcyclists (response rate 75%) and 752 healthy controls (response rate 66%). In all, 161 (69%) of 234 motorcyclists were diagnosed as ED based on IIEF5. The prevalence of ED in the motorcycle group increased by age as: 58, 63, 76 and 93%, for motorcyclists in 20-29, 30-39, 40-49 and 50-59 years, respectively. There was a significant difference in the prevalence of ED between the motorcycle group and the control group in all age groups. On stepwise logistic regression analysis, motorcycling was the strongest risk factor for ED. Although the severity of ED in motorcyclists was not so severe, motorcycling may be one of risk factors for ED.
AbstractRecently, the association between motorcycling and erectile dysfunction (ED) has been reported. Also, lower urinary tract symptoms (LUTS) were reported to be associated with ED. The aim of this study is to evaluate the association of ED with LUTS in motorcyclists. We investigated the prevalence and the status of ED using a 5-item version of the International Index of Erectile Function (IIEF-5) in 150 motorcyclists. ED was diagnosed when the IIEF-5 score was less than 17. The International Prostate Symptom Score (IPSS) was also applied, and the relationship between IIEF-5 and IPSS was evaluated. Of the 150 motorcyclists, 37 (25%) had ED, and 31 (21%) had moderate or severe symptoms of LUTS (IPSS >or=8). The IIEF-5 was significantly associated with the severity of IPSS (P=0.002) and age (P<0.0001). The IIEF-5 was also significantly associated with the scores of both voiding (P<0.0001) and storage symptoms (P=0.001). On stepwise logistic regression analysis, age and storage symptoms are independent risk factors for ED in motorcyclists. LUTS seemed to be associated with ED in motorcyclists.

FZS600 Fazer / Does anyone else like unpainted engine fins?
« on: 17 January 2013, 09:16:59 pm »
I think it looks much better but it seems that nobody else do this.
EDIT: Sorry I realize I did not explain it very well. I was talking about sanding the smaller lower fins that came painted from the factory, below the big unpainted ones.

General / Anybody has ridden a GSXR 1100?
« on: 15 January 2013, 02:04:00 am »
Hi, I am looking at a cheap '91 GSXR 1100, just like this one but it is too far from home to go just for a test ride. I love its looks and power numbers but I would like to know if it is really a fun ride or its heavy weight or something else make it less funny than a FZS 600. I am not even sure if I would sell the FZS after buying the GSXR, or I would keep it.
What do you think?

FZS600 Fazer / Actual fork travel?
« on: 31 October 2012, 02:38:50 am »
I read this old topic where a foccer found out that his bike only had 100mm of travel: http://fazerowners.yuku.com/topic/30816#.UJB0V65lbCM
What do you think about it? How close have you manage to push a zip tie to the triple clamp? Since my bike has fork gaitors I cannot put a zip tie to measure the fork travel accurately to set the preload. I even thought that maybe the gaitors reduced some travel, but if that info is correct it would not be the case.
By the way I think that the claimed installed spring length (7mm shorter than free) does not make sense counting the claimed spacer length (200 mm 1998/183mm 2002).It would make the spring 14mm shorter once installed according to my measures. I could be wrong about it because my forks have a mix of 1998, 2002 and custom parts, but I have all the 1998 stock parts except the spacers, so I am pretty sure.
Has anybody measured where the spacers are from the top of the forks once the caps have been removed?
Are the top out springs messing around with all these measurements?
Sorry for my English, still learning...

The Laboratory ! / test
« on: 15 May 2012, 12:22:13 pm »
I suspect that your kings and queens have made a far better job so I understand you like them.
At least your king goes to watch MotoGP. He actually got Pedrosa and Lorenzo to shake hands when they were bitter rivals.
Yes, he is very good with this sort of things. But when it comes to important questions he is awful.
A lot of poor people in the Sahara ex-colony live now in camps, ruled by the Moroccan army, because he is a coward. He went against UN (and the last orders of the dictator by the way), which proposed that the natives had to vote being spanish or independent. Instead of this he ordered to abandon when the Moroccans menaced with invading it. So he left the natives even without weapons to fight against them. He was not able to explain the to the rest of the world that the moroccans weren't the natives as they claimed, as the sahara people are different tribes. So he is also a loser as diplomatic.
He also has earned a lot of money, nobody knows how, while his rule. He had no money when he started and the amount that the state gives him is not so big.
At least the past weeks his propaganda did not work and he was found hunting elephants with one his lovers while the country is falling, lots of old ladies dislike him now . You british are lucky with your kings not being Bourbons, your history would have been very different. Romans, goths, muslims, spaniards and germans had provided good rulers here but this dinasty only has lead us to civil wars, lost wars and poverty.
Yes, they are symbolic now. A symbol of the worst side of this country.

General / Are there pro-republic British?
« on: 11 May 2012, 10:37:37 am »
Just curious. Here in Spain we are a lot of people who do not want a king (worse if it is a stupid french king like this one and all his ascendants, put in charge after the death of a traitorous dictator who started a civil war to eliminate the republic). But a lot of foreign people think most of the spaniards are strongly monarchic.
I suspect that your kings and queens have made a far better job so I understand you like them. Also they are British too, not a family of retards dumped by the french. I just want to know if you are as monarchic as you seem. How many british prefer a republic?
I hope it does not turn to an angry argument. Sorry if it is not adequate to start a topic like this.

General / Sticky tyre wax! I had to scrap it.
« on: 22 March 2012, 04:39:22 pm »
Just a warning. Check if there is still wax in your tyres despite you have ride it previously!
Few days ago had I installed a new 170/60 Diablo Rosso tyre, same model as the front, I have bought several Diablos before too. Today was the first day I could have fun with the bike, it is a warm day here in Spain too.
But unlike the previous tyres this one had a layer of solid wax that did not go with heat, so the chicken strips kept slippery no matter I had riden it for 100km. I was lucky it wasn't an emergency maneuver when it slipped, just me fooling around trying to remove the chicken strips.
I have removed a lot of wax with a knife. I have also checked the front tyre chicken strips and there was no wax, it went by itself.

FZS600 Fazer / Technoflex fork springs for 79€ shipping incl!!
« on: 24 January 2012, 02:15:02 pm »
I am not sure if it is allowed to put this, they are clearing stock and I asked for 1kg/mm linear springs and I am waiting for them now.
I have nothing to do with the shop, they are not even from my country, I just think that they are too cheap to be quiet. If I receive them properly and administrators agree, I can put the site here.

FZS600 Fazer / Is this the OEM fork spring? (PIC)
« on: 09 January 2012, 12:27:01 pm »http://foc-u.co.uk/index.php/topic,42.0.html
The ones in my bike have a lot more of turns than this from the picture, both at the hard and the soft zones. Sorry I haven't got pictures of them. My bike is from 1999. Did Yamaha change springs in 2002? Or are my springs from another brand? The total length is the same as manual says.
At least the long spacer in my bike was changed by the previous owner to increase preload (too much, and poorly made). I put a shorter spacer and a 2002 preload adjuster.
Could anybody who has the OEM springs laying around compare them?
Thanks a lot

FZS600 Fazer / 3.5" rim and 120/70 fitted!
« on: 07 January 2012, 07:35:25 pm »
It feels as good as every new tyre, but I have not ride it hard yet. It looks great and I also fitted badass rubber fork gaiters instead those ugly plastic things. The mudguard does not look ugly now, but minimalistic. The speedo is sincere due the larger diameter.
The rim is the model F-52, it came from a TRX850, (also came with the FZR400R -thanks to our mate hybridYZF for helping-, and problably with the latest FZR600R) You just have to remove a couple pieces at the speedo area, put your brake discs and thats all. The colour is glossy very dark grey, it seems stock in my bike because the rear rim is covered with filth.
Next the 170/60 rear, the tyre that is actually designed for 5" rims.

FZS600 Fazer / Is anybody changing the rear tyre soon? Trying a 170/60 may be nice
« on: 11 December 2011, 06:14:15 pm »
I think I wrote about it in the old forum, but not sure.
Anyway I found that 170/60 is the recommended size for 5" width rims (like the ones of our fazers) by the tyre manufacturers charts. 160/60 are for 4,5" rims like the ones of SV650. So Fazers came standard with a flattened tyre!
I purchased a 3,5" front rim from a Yamaha TRX850, which will allow 120 front tyres (thanks to the mate HybridYZF for the advise). Soon it will be installed and I will report how it goes but the rear tyre is still quite fresh so it will took a while before I change it.
So I ask anybody to try a 170/60 and tell us how it goes
Thanks
