I have just received my tax disc from dvla and on there it mentions about not needing to display a tax disc, the other thing it says is when you sell a vehicle the tax stops then, when you send off the log book you will get a refund, that means the new owner will need to tax the vehicle before using it, so now it is a waste of time and money taxing a vehicle as a sweetener if you are going to sell it.

I have a vibration around the clocks at around 3k revs, this has been there ever since I have owned the bike, if I push onto the clocks the noise goes but tube clocks are tight with no exesive movement, and the bike is so smooth with virtually no noticeable vibration through the legs,seat, handlebars or tank. Is there anything that is common to cause this vibration noise?

I have fitted new hoses all round on my bike, in the past it has taken hours even next day to bleed the brakes, a while a go I bought a vacuum bleeding kit (ideal for other things as well on the car) anyway it took minutes to get the fluid through, available on eBay http://m.ebay.co.uk/itm/201025017182?nav=SEARCH

I have some ferodo sintergrip road HH rated pads to fit in my fazer, does anyone have these pads fitted and how do you rate them in the wet and dry?

Went to start my bike up last night and it has a misfire, to make it worse it was chucking petrol out of the carb over flows, so till I can have a look I dong have a bike on the road, what is annoying it was running perfectly on Friday, I didn't use the bike over the weekend.

Managed to sort the alarm out yesterday and last night saw a puddle of water under the bike, it Looks like I have a leak of water coming from above the engine, dripping down to the rear then down between the generator and sprocket cover, so more work to do.

anyone know where the alarm wiring plugs are on a gen 1 is? looking at pictures on the net mine does not have a plug there, so any help would be appreciated.
thanks

Anyone managed to get stick coils working on there gen 1? I have tried 2 sets of coils the latest being 1.6 ohm each, and my bike will not run on them at all, just a big back fire.

as you know the fazer thou fairing is not the best for protection, so has anyone managed to fit a better fairing off another bike or an aftermarket fairing? I don't want to get rid of the fazer for a better touring bike so would like a better fairing.
