for her 15th birthday, i thought i would give the old fazer a deep clean....... drained coolant and removed radiator..... removed exhaust and gave front of engine its first proper clean in 15 years....... must say its come up remarkably well...... will post some pictures when i work out how to get them off my phone...... btw the jubilee clips attaching pipes to the oil cooler have rubber sleeves around them........ anyone know the significance of these rubber bands....... mr yamaha must have put them on there for a reason, but i don't know why

ok guys/gals.... long story short ..... 22 august knocked off my new 790 duke...... first bike accident in 40 years !!!!!...... other party has accepted liability..... gutted... bike badly damaged but will be repaired...... that side of the claim seems pretty straightforward in that third party's insurer will pay for repairs..
but i have a broken ankle ....... bennetts my bike insurance company have directed me to minster law ( no win no fee ) malarky who are handling the injury side of things..
although they are "no win no fee" .... they charge a success fee of up to 25%...... research shows all these firms charge similar fees, so i suppose one firm not much better than another in this respect.....
Question is..... do i really need to use one of these no win no fee firms......i have always been anti these companies in the past..... can i just not submit my expenses to third party's insurance company.... there must be a standard "broken ankle " payment plus loss of earnings that i can easily supply and prove
i'm gonna be on crutches 6 weeks minimum , no load bearing on my broken ankle.....major upheaval really, but i suppose it could have been much worse....
Any advice from anyone legally minded/ or been through similar appreciated
thanks

hi all
if i want to long term store the gen 1 fazer 1000, does turning the fuel tap under the tank off and running the bike until it stops drain all the fuel, or is there still some left in the float bowls.....

hi all
i'm selling my 5sl r6 forks...... these are in immaculate condition, slight marking on chrome where bottom yoke clamps around fork, but the rest of the chrome is perfect, no pitting, seals good, all adjusters work perfectly.
i'm selling cos i've gone back to original geometry as most of my riding now is 2 up.
this is a lower cost alternative to r1 forks, they just slide in to original yokes.... you use original wheel with r6 spindle (supplied) and original mudguard fits using additional spacers (also supplied)
i'm looking for 120 + postage for the forks spindle and spacers
thanks for looking.

hi
you probably think i'm mad, but i'm seriously considering trading my gen 1 fazer 1000 for a honda nc700s.... I'm gonna get a test ride soon, but wonder if anyone else has tried one..... As i'm getting older i find i rarely take the fazer over 5k revs, and quite fancy the idea of a bike where all the torque is delivered between 3-5 k revs.... nc on the honda stands for new concept and its supposed to be great fun and fast, shortshifting through the box at 5k revs, coupled to tha fact that all the weight is low, it supposed to change direction really quick as well.
i have an rd400, and a rd350lc, and find i enjoy riding these more than the fazer latley, for me its not about outright speed anymore.... i must be getting old.
oppinions please
dave
