Fazer 1000/FZ1 corner / Re: Burning way too much oil
« on: 03 October 2015, 06:04:56 pm »
My first thou used a fair bit of oil , the engine is known to do this , my latest uses very little , just a quirk of the engine , means you always got fresh oul in

Did the trip a few years ago , stayed in Split ,Dubrovnik and the national park , plitvice lakes , not sure of the places but most accommodate bikes securely , it was very warm when we went 42 degs and this made some roads very sloppy , the coast road down is stunning , enjoy

Just changed from BT023s to the T30s , initial impression is the profile
Is a little more rounded as it feels like it tips in a little quicker , all other
Aspects feel pretty much the same a the old Tyres , when braking hard it felt like it was pulling up quicker but that may be down to the old Tyres being worn , how long they last , well
Time will tell as too early , I paid £244 pair , ride in ride out , couldn't be added to do it myself , Wheel house Tyres in Coleshill

Yes Bill , been a few times , stay at the Tiergarten the place owned by Sabine Schmidt of top gear fames sister and aunt , the biggest problem is going over a rise and not knowing where the road goes so you back off only to find you could keep it pinned ! Lol

General / Re: Seat shape ?
« on: 13 July 2014, 07:24:51 am »
I think these things like screens are personal , we are all built differently , because I used to do a lot of push bike riding , on a hard seat , I find my standard seat very comfy even for 600 miles in a day , always interesting to see how others get round things and then try a few things see what works
