having a problem in that the engine fault warning light coming on , as your aware when you turn the ignition key all the warning lights come on but should then go off as you start up , well got the bike out on weekend and it wouldn't start up ,the engine fault warning is staying on , tried few more times and she eventually started but then cut out , tried again yesterday and fault light would not go out so bike wouldn't start again , my bike is the S2 FZ6 with ABS on 07 plate ?

FZ6 / Fazer / Headlight bulbs FZ6s2
« on: 28 September 2013, 06:19:06 pm »
Been looking at the headlight mod for my 07 S2 FZ6 but whilst Im at it I wanted better headlight bulbs ,been looking around and there seems to be quite a choice available which give different buld output and wattage I assume that its best to stick to the 55 watt as the lenses look as if they are plastic and hence wondering how much heat buildup there is with brighter bulbs and which are more suitable , there seems to be Halogen ,Xenon, some are even marked as Xenon/Halogen ,do these need conversion kits to fit and which type give best all round light for the FZ6 lens ?

Events, Meets, Ride outs etc / Any biker meets coming up in S.Wales
« on: 29 July 2013, 11:18:37 am »
Past few years seem to have been lacking biker bashes in s.Wales , we use to have quite a few including the Welsh bike show in Builth Wells , i know they still have the Beer bikes bash but have not seen much else locally , done Weston bike night few times ,Paignton big bike event weekend and Poole bike night ,done few runs to the Ace cafe (love the place but hate those roads) too much riding in crazy
traffic and bunged up roads , so are there any decent events coming up local-ish ?
