Had my Foxeye for 4 years now,and it's been great.However, I'm thinking of swapping it for a Thundercat.Does anyone think I shouldn't,and why?

FZS600 Fazer / After Motad
« on: 24 April 2017, 08:33:17 pm »
Now Motad has gone bust what are the decent options for a new exhaust. My Foxeye's is rusted to f**k,but reading through the relevant threads,all the other makes seem a bit ropey.Does anybody have any positive experiences with the other makes?

General / Early Thundercat-five speed 'box?
« on: 30 July 2016, 02:51:09 pm »
Has anybody here ever heard of early Thundercats having a 5-speed gearbox? I was looking at one on eBay,saw a nice one,so I thought I'd give the chap a ring.During the conversation,he mentioned the bike having a five speed box! Looking at Haynes,it never mentioned a five-speed at all ,only six.Has anyone here ever heard of this,or is the guy pulling me leg! :eek

Help me out here chaps.Simple question- I've got a hankering to own an RD 250 again,30 years after last riding one.-Worth it,or would it just be waste of money?

FZS600 Fazer / Loss of tyre pressure
« on: 17 April 2016, 07:05:24 pm »
Hi everyone,Just a quick question-how common is it for the wheels to  become corroded ?.I'm asking as both my front and rear tyres are losing roughly about 1psi a day.I have had them refitted by a tyre tech,but they still leak about the same amount,and he did mention possible corrosion-has anybody else had this problem,and short of new wheels,is there anything else I can do?

General / Waterproof covers
« on: 26 October 2015, 06:52:22 am »
Hi everybody! Have I just been unlucky,or do decent and long-lived rain covers not exist! I have bought both the Oxford Aquatex,and then after that failed,the more substantial Rainex,but this too has decided let in moisture after a measily 6 months. Do I take the plunge (no pun intended!),or is there something out there which is more effective? -Cheers!

General / 2- up long distance touring fzs 600
« on: 03 October 2015, 04:56:58 pm »
Has anyone toured long-distance satisfactorily two-up on their 600? Just done 180 miles on mine with the wife-she now wants to tour Ireland! However,everybody seems to say that the thou is the perfect pillion tourer.So we tried one for comfort,and the boss said that the seat wasn't a patch on our 600.Would the 600 cope ,or is the thou that much better?

FZS600 Fazer / Best mod/tweek
« on: 19 July 2015, 05:22:27 am »
Hi guys, foxeye's going in for an pre- MOT service. I'm just wondering which one mod/tweek would you do that would most improve the bikes capabilities.Already have fender extender/hugga combo,and would like to improve the bike whilst retaining it's classic lines-Cheers!
