I know, it's not time yet!
But just thinking ahead, any one got any preferences on winter gloves? Last winter I used a pair of police R4 gloves from Silvermans with a pair of merino wool gloves on underneath when the temperature got below 3 or 4. Lowest temperature used was -2 on a dry day round the M25 and after 40 mins I was just about ready to cry with pain.
This winter I'm thinking of fitting heated grips and getting a pair of decent winter gloves, anyone got any preferences?

Took the rear pre load up one click (harder) and screwed the forks preload down one notch and now the bike seems a little better in the handling department.
Could be because I'm 90Kg and probably heavier than the standard settings allowed for. Anyone else had a play about? Running 32/36 tyre pressures as well.

Thinking of going over to the Black Forest in September and looking for tips...
I'm looking at riding the B 500, has anyone had any experiance and pointers for campsites etc? All I've seen bikerwise is the Pension William which gets glowing reviews.
All help gratefully received!

After trashing my old boots last year in a spill, I thought I'd treat myself to a nice pair of waterproof touring boots and the ones that came out at the top of my budget were the rather aptly named Alpinestar Hydro Sport Drystar.
With a name like that, how could I possibly go wrong! (all boxes ticked...)
Currently on my second pair, first pair went back quite quickly as they leaked straight away so were replaced under warranty. Second pair let go this week in a torrential downpour on the way to work.
Anyone got any suggestions for boots that do what they say on the advertising? Couldn't get on with Altbergs (the first choice) as they were too narrow in the gusset and didn't want to wait 4 months for a made to measure pair.

Anyone had any experience, good, bad or indifferent with soft luggage? Thinking of throwover panniers for the odd weekend away or WSB/BSB camping over.
Don't really want to go to the trouble of fitting hard luggage for very occasional use.

Any opinions? I've just bought a pair from Passion Automotive (under £7 a pair) so will report back when fitted.

New to Fazers here,, Bought the bike last week, happy with it etc, it all does what it's supposed to BUT! When the bike's idling it's a bit rough sounding like a sewing machine. No cam chain rattle as such, just lumpy. Over 2000 revs, happy days! Thinking it could be the carbs need balancing but under throttle goes great. I do a lot of filtering through London at low revs and it can get to be a pain. Do they all do that, Sir?

Hi there, new Fazer owner here,,, Just read the post on Fazer maintenance and would like to check the correct method of checking the oil. What it said in the document was to run the bike for a few minutes then stop, let it settle and check the oil level. Normally I'd do this when the bike is cold and sitting on a level surface. Is this correct? Wouldn't like to overfill it  Cheers guys,

Hi there, thought I'd join the club as I've just bought a,,,, Fazer! Previous bikes have been larger or faster but now's the time to be sensible Mostly I commute 350 miles a week but looking forward to the warmer weather and now the boy's into bikes as well, the continent is calling me again. Roll on Assen!
