I suppose I'd go for option b, interestingly I don't nod to scooter boys only fellow bikers. Anyone else still a nodder?
I'm a nodder, will give any old biker the nod me I ain't fussy.
I would stop and help personally, failing that option b.
I'm a nodder too, even to some of the scooter boys if they still have their baffles in,are wearing proper gear and riding sensibly! I even nodded at a police bike the other day...........not sure what the etiquette on that is? He didn't nod back. I would have stopped to help. At the end of the day his mates would eventually notice or at least could be sent a text to inform them Not likely to be a major mechanical failure,but kids these days haven't a clue how anything works unless it's connected to WiFi

O.K. a reply. If you like it keep it, if you don't like it bin it. For myself I want a mudguard to protect the engine and radiator from all the road spray and crap. But this is "your" bike and that mudguard does look good, so maybe you should keep it. Either way it's interesting to see what you are doing with the bike. 
I agree!! However if it's opinions you want, I'm struggling to see what you are trying to achieve with it? Aesthetics or functionality? Personally I prefer fazersharp slimmed down version. But ultimately I'm perfectly happy with the standard so it it was me I would probably bin it. Only my opinion tho!!!

How can it be hooked in the wrong direction, it's the front sprocket that pulls the chain, rather than the chain pulling the sprocket?
It looks to me like the hook tips are pointing forward, the normal wear pattern for a front sprocket.
Really?
Well I've learned something new today, although I've not really put too much thought into it before to be honest. I just see hooks and presume it's fooked. 
Correct that the front sprocket is pulling the chain,the sprocket rotates in an anticlockwise direction to drive the bike forwards, therfore wear on the sprocket will be on the right hand side of each U or trough of the sprocket......so if the hooking is on the right hand side of the U....... as per pic and hooks are pointing towards direction of travel (anticlockwise) as per pic.......then that sprocket is knackered and a new set n chain is definitely needed!!!!

Hi all, this probably sounds a silly question.
I ride my fazer all year round and this year has taken its toll on the bike.
My calipers are functional but filthy beyond words!!!!
I have never used brake cleaner before, is it safe to use all over the calipers, disks and pads??? Are there any areas I should avoid? Assuming paint work? Is it safe for pots and seals??
Many thanks for any replies

Wishing you all the best for a speedy recovery! Well done for sharing and raising the profile of such things. I'm 41, a bit over weight and drink more than I should. Also had a crazy itchy arse for a couple of weeks now, so I'm making a dr appointment asap

I haven't had time to check the specs of the video card, but it sounds like the card is only 32bit hence only able to share 4 of the 8 GB system memory?

The new master sockets usually have 2 IDC blocks. 1 for the BT line coming in and the 2nd to terminate an extension. I would completely remove the old cable, cut and strip back the new extension cable (so you know you have good undisturbed copper) and punch it down using a proper tool.
Its the only way to ensure good bandwidth

I tend to use the loose fist wave (5 finger shuffle) purely cos with my gloves on it is more prominent than a 1 finger salute.

So don't have the bike here to check, why won't a deep socket and normal ratchet work??

Well you got a bonus 3 months out of it anyway.

Lol well spotted!! I should have taken then as a warning sign, however it did lube up ok and felt a lot better. Looks like I won't receive the new cable until Mon poss Tues anyway. Thanks for all the replies sounds like it something I can do in a lunch hour.

Just leaving work, first junction clutch cable snaps at lever. Managed to ride bike back into work (not prepared to try the 15 miles to get home) if I can get a cable tomorrow how hard/how many tools are needed to replace the cable (isolated car park with no access to any nearby tool or consumable store)
Basically can I do it in an hour with a normal portable general tool kit on a Saturday in the passing rain?
Cheers

Are you sure you have standard gearing on the sprockets!! Sounds to me like you are expecting too much from the bike? Mine is standard and in 3rd (on a private road) I just top 100mph at 13krpm (just into the red) and I wouldn't wanna push it beyond that plus you are way beyond the max torque point so pretty pointless??
If you had different gearing it would explain your higher speeds but would also explain the additional loading that would cause your overheating problem?

I can see how it can happen...... The centre stand is designed as a lever, so that the working force should be from the leg into the stand and the arms only guide the bike up.. . . . . If you do not exert enough force on the stand and try to pull the bike up with your arms, then it becomes unstable and the arm with furthest reach will cause more leverage and likely result in the bike pulling away from you!

You will also need a M10 bolt(iirc) to mount to the mirror mount on the bars. I think I had a M10x25
