VNA....I'm sensing that you're very angry about something again.
I think there are underlying issues here that need to be addressed.
Have you considered therapy or medication ?
Replied to your PM this morning.
Thanks again Tom
Hi Tommy,
Sorry for not replying sooner-have been away for a while(no, not a mental health facility!)
I bought the C90-G from a dealer 2 years ago-low mileage and VGC. Took it to IOM summer 2017 and didnt like the 3 speed semi-auto gearbox (particularly when trying to get round the Ramsey Hairpin! ) Autumn time I decided to strip bike and treat any frame corrosion etc. Bought a Lifan 110cc 4 speed manual clutch engine complete with carb and ancillaries from Pit Bike Spares for £173. The bike runs well with the original Honda Keihin carb and although not much quicker has better torque and almost identical fuel economy. Went back for 2018 Manx GP in late August 2018 and the bike was faultless.

Thats true, I will shut the f--k upWell just on looks alone .................. who gives a fuckYou sold your fazer to keep a convertible so your votes doesn't count
Having decide to twat a Lucozade lorry head on last April on my 1000 , and sworn I'd not own a bike again I decided to look at Toms' Fazer
last week...soooooo glad I did, and am now the proud new owner of Toms' pride and joy.
Rode her back to my yard (105 miles from Toms') brilliant !! Planted ,thanks to reworked suspenders and plenty of beans..
Rode from Toms' pad, and the first 5 yards you'd think I'd never been on a pushbike let alone a motorbike !!
A massive thank you to both Tom and his wife for their hospitality, and I know Tom is gutted to sell his Fazer but she has gone to a good home, so worry
not Tom she's come to a good home, and I'll keep you updated about her ..
Well the new owner rode off today on 'HIS' Fazer FZS 600.
The good thing is I just know he will love it and pamper it just as much as I did, it has gone to a good home.
Now in the summer it is going to take me 45 minutes to get to the boatyard on my Honda C90, flat out, instead of 25 minutes on the Fazer, and that is taking it leisurely.
I'm sure the C90 will fit on the passenger seat of your Barbie Merc 😉 that'll solve the speed issue haha
He should change his user name to ' Ken ',

In the interest of science I've just taken some pics of the comparison between original lenses and smoked ones.Orange look easier to see - there might be a brighter centre on the smoked but the whole of the orange is "glowing" more. As your bike is silver IMO it would of looked better with clear lenses with orange bulbs.
The smoked ones have orange bulbs and in my opinion make the bike look a little nicer.
Can I get any credit for not bastardising her too much by fitting LED indicators?
Orange on the left, smoked on the right.

Thanks Mr Red. One of those events you look forward to going to, then say "never again" when you've been, but promptly book a ticket as soon as they go on sale the following year.
Dopey hats are almost compulsory by the way.

Looks good. Did you take the 12V from the Brown/Blue wire? Did you go for the relay option or just a wire? That Brown/Blue is the switched side of the ignition. It goes from the switched side of the ignition to the fuse box and gives switched 12V to all the fuses except the backup fuse. The brown/blue wire is protected by the main 30A fuse in the starter relay. That wire size is rated for 38A but the fuse blows at 30A to protect the wire. If you wanted you could work out roughly how many amps are flowing through the wire. You could do a worst case scenario as if you had everything turned on that gets power through that wire so high beams, low beams, indicators, horn, rear light, brake light, fuel pump, fan plus your Led's and grips and see if all that adds up to near 30A. You can get the power consumption values in Watts for all those things in the specifications part of the workshop manual then add in your leds and grips and divide the total Watts by 12 to give you amps. If it comes near 30A you could think about using a relay.
On a side note I've had a look at the loom. I was wondering how Yamaha does a splice connection and they use this style connector https://kojaycat.co.uk/15mm-1mm-U-Joint-Auto-Cable-Crimp
I think I'll invest in some of those style crimps and a proper crimping tool. There's always a bit of a question about what's the best way to make your connection to power aftermarket accessories. If Yamaha uses those crimps I will too
NOoooooooooooooooo! Solder and heat shrink every time, not only is it permanent it is also neat, and packs of differing colours and sizes of heat shrink are available on eBay.
Someone asked about the spot light mounting on a pole (see picture) I made the poles out of a set of mountain bike handle bars, and mounted them in the reinforcement web where the frame meet the steering head stock under the front of the tank.
Mounting them on the side of the rad is the easy option but if you drop you bike even at a standstill the are likely to wreck your radiator leaving you marooned if you a few miles from home, not forgetting a big bill to replace the rad.
PS: As the pole for my spots are made from alloy mountain bike handlebars they will just bend if the bike is dropped or thrown up the road at speed and the mounts will not do any harm to the bike itself.
I like solder too but peel the tape off the loom and anywhere there's a splice Yamaha used those crimps not solder. They make a good connection. If you wanted you could use one of those crimps and solder the crimp! Then a bit of heat shrink over the top everyone's a winner

some people judge us without having a clue what they're on about, I remember some politician's wife a while back remarking "motorcyclists? those morons dressed in black rubber suits,what the hell is that about?" pathetic.
obviously a man who has had experience of this
I can hear them comi.....
Very cruel,couldn't do that myself it's a shame about the birds eggs though I suppose that's life............... or death
😂
Or on most bikes with cable driven speedo it contains a rubber guide for the cable to stop it rubbing on the mudguard.
Many thanks Trebus make sence.
I bought 25 of the part number that coffee mentioned (YZ624p) and not one of them will fit.
I do though have a very wet front tyre and a big puddle on the patio.
I only bought one and couldn't get the ratio of liquid right and kept falling off,it was particularly hard on black ice or greasy conditions,I'm thinking of taking it off when I'm discharged.
