For some reason I read who has the oldest and expected to see who has the highest mileage...

1. Is there a bike out there to replace the fazer ...kwak sx1000?...maybe new s1000R ( faired)...whadya think ?
As I understand it both cost considerably more than a low mileage Gen1, the cheapest I could find an SX1000 for was £6k and the S1000 at £7.7k

On Hold....gave it a good dousing over the past couple of days and it seems to have freed itself....for now Grand, did you use ACF50? and not the inferior WD40. And while your at it you should give the exup valve a service and replace the 3x M6x5 (that hold the chrome cover on) and the 3x M6x15(or 10) that holdthe exup plate on with Stainless steel or better Titanium.

I know this is a bit of a random ask, while I look on ebay I thought I would ask on here.
I'm after a Ultrasonic cleaner big enough to take a bank of carbs, 40cm x 20cm x20 cm.
ta.

Ive fitted the mirror extenders, its a peice of hiss, 15 minutes a side, my opinion, they do help abit. And do they just raise them up, or up and out? Also how do they address the bolt issue..? ta.

How fast exactly were you going because mini roundabouts should not need banking over or both brakes..... It was either slowing down enough so I could go around it (it being a 3x4ft wet metal drain cover) or risk going over it while lent over. At least going with the brake it gave me more control than I would have had on the drain cover. Wtf the council have put one that large, in the middle of the road, on a junction, on a bend is beyond me. To all those that only use their fronts, you have obviously gotten used to doing that. The rest of us mere mortals forget to only apply the front when in a mild or not so mild state of panic, its called being human. In the mean time, I am going to adjust the brake pedal height, check the rear disk for straightness and change the rear pads.

Learn to ride properly, if you're locking the rear, you're stomping too hard, it's that simple. Everything on a bike is about finesse, not fitting shit knackered hoses to cover your inability.
By that logic the same thing should be happening on the Bandit..? I will going with trpFZS/PaulSmith's suggestions.

went over to him afterwards and asked why I hadn't seen him, he said it was because he was in the medium group. Irony is always amusing.

If goldfrens aren't crap enough. There have to be worse organic pad's out there than the GF's. But if nothing else is recommended then the GF's it is.

Turns out it was a bandit 600/1200 CS spring, its probably longer and not as beafy. Get one from your local dealer they are only £10 or so I believe.

It is possible your rear disc is out of true and 'catches'. With the bike on the center stand, spin the back wheel by hand and gently apply the rear brake by hand. ah yes, it passed an MOT but it can't hurt to check. Just a thought. Is it possibly a situation where the brake pedal is set slightly too high. Another excellent suggestion and which I knew about but forgot - will lower the pedel. It is f. powerful though. I can see why you're fed up with it. yer, came around a miny-roundabout to find a huge drain cover almost covering the whole lane, I was lent over at the time and didn't want to risk going over it. So I applied the front (and auto applied the rear 'muscle memory') and the problem was the rear broke free and started coming around from my right, which then made me go even wider. So had the rear 'not' locked up I would have been able to maintain my original trajectory and speed. @Bluebear, how old are your the hoses (as in the more miles the better) as I didn't realise till I checked today that I have the stock hose on the back. The bike has only done 16k so I am guessing the hose I have isn't fucked enough yet.

I'm finally fed up of the rear locking under braking, because my Bandit1200 dosen't do it nearly as much. Now that is probably partly to do with B12 being heavier, but also it has a lower spec rear caliper and is running an original hose on the back compared to the FZS which came with braided when I bought it.
Could I just put a high mileage stock hose on the back to soften the braking action..? along with the worst pads I can find..? What pads do people recommend?
