I am moving from Scala Rider to Autocom with Kenwood proTalk radio push to talk system. I am fitting this tomorrow and is for bike to bike communication but is only as good as the frequencies it can be programmed too to ensure compatibility to other peoples system. I will be hooking up a Sat Nav and MP3 hard wired. The system can also be used for rider to pilly chat. They are not cheap but can get decent stuff off the bay.

Not as much listening but playing on the guitar Randy Rhoads Diary of A Madman and Thin Lizzy Boys are Back in Town.

Other than that all roads leads to Rock / Metal when on the bike.

Had mine seize in and the pads were shocking so I left them in and popped the lid on the hydraulic reservoir. It took a hammer and chisel and a few hours to free them up then stripped down and clean put them back as seals were good.

It was the crud on the exposed area of the piston and onto the caliper that made mine seize. No idea about fitting a Fazer 1000 caliper

Now the only thing I would like to replace are the ignition coils.

Do you think that it's better to buy used or "china" brand new? http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/New-Ignition-HT-Coil-Yamaha-FZS600-Fazer-98-03-/190614785844?pt=UK_Motorcycle_Parts_13&hash=item2c6186cf34

I got these that I have been using for about three months now. I noticed a clicking when idling but could not find the point of arc. Yesterday I found it coming through mid point of HT lead on number 3 cylinder. I have not noticed any reduction in performance but keep this in mind if your going to keep these coils on.

Hope you have identified the problem as you show.

Just done my bike in this stuff. I use to use SF365 when it was garaged but not as good since its now stored outside under a cover. I just sprayed everything and wiped down with a cloth if I saw runs. As i understand it you only freshen the application if water stops beading and you wash down with a car/bike shampoo. I am assuming that Muc Off bike cleaner will be to harsh to use on the bike unless I want to totally strip the protection off of the ACF50.

Can any one verify this?

Cheers Daz
PS Bike looks mint with this stuff on

Let the Thatcher estate pay for it if its that important to them or get private backing for it and lets see what happens from their onwards.

The sales of Goods and services act is the way forward. The manufacture has to proof their is not a fault if you have highlighted a problem with a product within 6 months of purchase. Just remind them of their legal obligation under English law as they may not know this if they are not based in the UK

Daz

Sorry Fizzy you ment excess wiring to handle bars? I looped mine and then cable tied em to cables in situ

Leave the earth as it is and use this to piggy back into ignition. 2 min job.

Nice having warm fingers on a cold day just watch your mates at lights they tend to get a little snatch happy for my grips and we can not move when they are taking the piss

Daz

I'm trying to figure out how this would give you live only when ignition is on... Can someone enlighten me?

The ignition will not allow power from the battery until the bikes key is on. Only then can you use the start button. Its also part of the battery recharge system (if I remember correctly)

Daz

Thanks for all the good advice.  The thou' was so nice to ride (apart from the apparent reluctance to turn) and I'm pleased that this can be made better with a few tweaks.  I will try a 600 too, since it might suit better as a first bike, ideally a foxeye if I can find one!

My foxeye was a bit of lump when cornering and felt heavy as you described when I first got it. The tyres were squared off so they were the first thing to replace. It mad a huge difference but still not happy. So I set up the suspension for my weight and wow what a difference.

So new tyres = £220
Suspension set up = me and a mate with a tape measure.

You do not a;ways need to throw money at the bike and if your getting it from a dealer ask them to set it for your weight.

Daz

This is what I am getting is my PC or the site. Either way I do not like it
