Fazer 1000/FZ1 corner / Broken exup bolts
« on: 23 August 2019, 05:55:28 pm »
just thought i’d mention this if anyone has the same problem of broken exup bolts.
I’ve just recently had my exup bolts drilled out and the threads re tapped, which is nice.
The remains of the broken bolts in the housing were harder than a very hard thing and resisted several attempts to drill them until my guy got some drill bits from a locksmith, these worked really well.
So, if you have the problem, don’t waste your money at machine mart or other such places selling titanium or cobalt bits, get down to you local locksmith and get the bits from them.

« on: 27 June 2018, 05:32:34 pm »
hi all.
Sorry if this has been done before but if not here’s a question for those who have done it.
When dropping the front forks do I need to loosen the top yoke bolts only or both top and bottom yoke bolts.
Many thanks.

General / Varifocal glasses.
« on: 21 May 2018, 02:43:30 pm »
can someone please explain the benefit of varifocal glasses to me because I can’t see it ( see what I did there).
I was reluctant to try the bloody things again but thought i’d try Zeiss driving lenses as recommended by the optician for driving, which is what I do.
Anyhow my argument is this.
With bi focal lenses only one part of my vision will be blurred but with varifocal lenses my peripheral vision is also blurred so what’s the point in paying more money for seeing less.
I need my peripheral vision, I think it’s vital riding a motorbike, that’s just my opinion though.

coming home from work this morning on my thou on a two lane stretch of road, me in inside lane stopped at a set of lights, a guy on an xjr1300 pulls alongside.
Yeah he wants to go.
Lights change, boom we're gone.
He was toast.
I'm not proud but boy did it feel good.

don't know if this has been covered before but if it has, meh!
Which twatnav do you use on your bikes, looking to get one for the fazer but can't decide.
Real world opinion is better than sales blurb methinks.
