I've just fit a K & N air filter to my bike after 12 years of ownership and it feels more eager to rev than ever before.
Definitely a big improvement and no other mods done.

Done it three times, twice on bike and once in the car. Car journey was the best weather, typical innit? Views from the top over the islands are stunning.
It's a nice ride and not difficult, unlike Wrynose and Hartside in the Lakes.

I've owned my bike for 12 years and 40 000 miles. Have experienced this once only and I believe it was due to front tyre wear.
Went away when it was changed and has never re-appeared. Never went back to Bridgestones either!!!

When I worked in a factory I rode to work virtually every day as I had to get changed anyway before starting work.
Now I work in an office it's more trouble than it's worth to use the bike. I only live 3 miles from where I work and
although my journey time would be faster on the bike, when you factor in everything else before and after the actual
travelling I'm sure it would take me longer on the bike than in the car. I even have to move the car to get my bike out!

I'll have it. Got the old style tubular one on mine still at the moment. PM me postage costs and I'll send you the cash.

Poly 26 do one. They're in France but easy enough to order through their UK distributor.
 

Recently got one from my local non-franchised dealer, Jordans in Leeds. Went in with the part number and picked it up a couple
of days later. Cost less than £3!!!

Have you tried Puma boots? I've got wide feet and big calves and at the time in J&S these were the only ones I was comfortable in.
Not claimed to be waterproof but have never leaked and are super comfy.

I've recently fitted the Thou shock with 600 spring and it feels really smooth compared to standard. Still feels a bit bouncy though.
Can anyone recommend compression and rebound adjustment settings?

Valued, and that's what I'm gonna do!
 

Had a ride from Leeds/Hawes/Sedburgh/Settle/Leeds. Saw a few Fazers but not in enough time to give the salute!! Twisty roads.
Still testing the 1000 shock on my 600 that may need tweaking still, but not sure what to do. Front brakes seem to be getting worse so need
some TLC and need some new discs anyway.

I've got Delkevic downpipes and can. All fit fine and quality good. My baffle disappeared somewhere and only noticed it was gone when washing bike one day. Failed MOT so had to buy one, didn't make any difference, just the tester refused to pass it with no baffle.

I had a set of genuine Yamaha engine bars on my 600 when I came off at about 30mph.
Went down hard and slid down the road but no damage to engine or radiator. Fairing focked though!
