Finally got round to checking the tyre with hot soapy water and there was a 6 inch strip around the rim which was bubbling up. I took it to my local garage and he's cleaned the rim up again and happy to report no leakage ,cost £5 happy days.
Before I fit the wheel I'm going to set about the exhaust headers with some harpic has anyone used this? Do you dilute it or just rub it straight on from the bottle?

I pumped the tyre up yesterday (36psi) then checked today and it was 15 psi.
The tyres were on when I bought the bike last year and had a slow puncture nothing drastic but I took it to the local garage to get it sorted. When the guy took the tyre off  it was filled with tyre weld so he give it a good clean , changed the valve and checked again for any leaks , everything seemed ok.
After reading the link you've sent I'm wondering if he's cleaned the tyre and rim enough  as it was caked in weld or is it an old tyre I'll have to check the date next time I'm in the garage.

Hi there I'm having a bit bother with my front tyre,it keeps going flat . I've taken it to the garage but they couldn't find anything wrong with it but replaced the valve just in case, but the tyre is still going down. The wheel looks straight no sign of damage could it be a dodgy tyre ,still has plenty of tread left so I'm reluctant to replace it.
Just wondering if anyone has had similar issues and what was the outcome,cheers.

Thanks for all the info robbo much appreciated.
 I could make myself a bracket at work as I'm a fabricator by trade.
Just out of interest as you have the same colour bike ,which colour did you opt for the unpainted or gloss black ?

I think it was the 10, I was riding an aprilia rsv and the wind noise was horrendous. I have just bought a lovely fazer 1000 and I was hoping the noise level might of lowered being in a different riding position but no such luck

General / Which helmet?
« on: 13 June 2019, 07:12:46 pm »
Hi I'm in the market for a new helmet and just wondering what fellow fazer riders are using. I bought a HJC RPHA last year and the wind noise is spoiling my enjoyment, are there any good quiet helmets out there for under £300?

It certainly is 8) .
Had a cheeky ride out last night after work as the weather was good and I loved every minute of it! Great riding position, plenty of power and corners better than the Aprilia RSV I've just sold, so much so I'm going to remove the centres stand in case I grind it out on the road  :lol

Hi been looking at fazers on ebay and this pops up ; https://rover.ebay.com/rover/0/0/0?mpre=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.ebay.co.uk%2Fulk%2Fitm%2F401773119047
Just wondering what people's thoughts were on this?
Would it be an easy fix?
What could of caused this?
Looks like an electrical fire of some sort can't see any other damage ?
