Trying this on here first before it goes on fleabay for £1500 in the hope a Foccer will buy it and give her the care she deserves.


I bought her on 16/03/2012.  She was in lovely nick then and had obviously been well loved.  She's now showing her age (usual suspects, engine fins, radiator) and has a couple of  scratches on the tank (which is a replacement after I dropped the original while balancing the carbs, documented in the forums somewhere!)


She's all original other than stainless downpipes (I forget the make but they were the best recommended ones with link pipes), and a K&N washable air filter.


MOT until 25/04/2022.  I don't think she's ever had an MOT advisory.
Current mileage is 22,076.  Last few MOT mileages were 21,778;  21,459;  21,062


Service history is a bit thin on the ground as I've done it myself.  New fork oil last year, centre stand stripped, Hammerited and greased, calpiers overhauled (that was probably a while ago actually).  Tyres have virtually no wear, brake pads almost new (although I'm not that happy with them, may be worth swapping).  Front sprocket nut replaced with the uprated item by CMC at Clay Cross (for free!! Yay!)


Please see the pictures and ask anything you want to!


She's located in Winster, near Matlock Bath.

Oh yes, and she has a full tank of fuel which is unlikely to change before sale
Cheers

Watcha


Any hints to make life easier getting centre stand springs off and on again?


Cheers.

Anybody know what colour Derbyshire speed camera vans are?
Think I saw one on a bridge overlooking the A6 duel carriageway north of Buxton.
Are they clearly marked?  Can they get you off bridges?


Questions questions!!   
 

So, my new Motad downpipes have arrived, and to be honest I'm quite disappointed.  No doubt good quality and hopes are high they'll fit accurately, but the finish looks as if they've come straight off the welding rig and been boxed.  I expected them to be all polished and shiney.


If you've fitted stainless (especially Motad), were they polished to a decent level when you bought them?


Not sure how best to finish mine, I think there's too much to do for Autosol   

(also no gaskets/fitting kit included for £250!!)

Couple of weeks ago I was caught speeding by a chap with a camera on a tripod.
Offer of fixed penalty has arrived, stating I was caught by an Automatic Camera Device.  I thought these were the yellow boxes on poles.  Surely mine was manned?

So, I bought a used fuel tank (FZS600) and it arrived with the filler cap fitted and no key (and with fuel in!!)


How do you open/remove the cap without a key?  I'm cautious of drilling out the lock in case of sparks, am I being soft?


Cheers.

Somebody has told me that bikers are boycotting Matlock Bath due to new parking charges?


Has anybody heard this, and where are folks gathering in Derbyshire now?

I was going to take 3 car batteries and a couple of bike batteries to the local tip.  Would it be worth taking them to a scrappy instead?  Don't know how much you get these days.

Still looking for a Foxeye fuel tank in blue (having dropped mine while tuning the carbs!)


Cheers,
Andy

Need a new pump.  Thinking of a stirrup pump for a change, but not sure if they have the volume-per-pump of a foot-pump?  Anybody use a stirrup pump?

After getting 6MBPS at any time of day for 5 years, my broadband suddenly started doing 6MBPS at 6am, reducing through the day to about 300Kbps.


After almost 4 months of doing speed tests for PO Broadband "Customer Service", they today said that as it's fine first thing it must be something in my house and they're not even going to try and fix it.  Yeah, my equipment, all of which has been replaced to try and fix this PITA, knows what time of day it is and decides to go slowly in the evening.


Complaint now with the Ombudsman for all the good it'll do 

Going to have a crack at changing my tyres.  Anybody done it on tubeless tyres, and did you use a rim sealant?


Cheers.

As the title says!  Good condition Foxeye FZS600 Fuel Tank in Blue required


Cheers,
Andy
