Most people seem to sort out the rear before or if at all touching the front. 3

Seems we are not the only ones who have noticed the increasing glare from LED lights and the GOV are looking into it - no pun intended.

FZS600 Fazer / Re: Exhaust Headers« on: 01 April 2024, 12:58:19 pm »if you go for dome nuts, make sure that the thread on the stud does not contact with the dome inside when torqued up, easy to get this wrong as the gaskets will compress when the nuts are tihjtened and lead to the stud tightening against the dome inner, givine the feeling that its fitted correctly when it isnt. A simpler option is to use connector nuts so its not a problem how much thread is exposed https://www.screwfix.com/p/easyfix-a2-stainless-steel-threaded-rod-connecting-nuts-m6-10-pack/4720gGood tip with the connector nuts. The acorn nuts can be had with elongated heads but you still might have the problem of bottoming out. As the OEM nut has a flange has anyone also added a washer. 6

As no one has chipped in I will say again if the studs look good then leave them well be as they are made out of cheese like a lot of the parts on our bike.How do you propose to get them off - with the two nut locknut method if so then consider that is how people end up snapping the studs because the nut is rusted on.

I wouldn't push your luck, I don't know anyone who has tried to remove the studs, likely they have "welded" themselves due to that different metal thingy.
Welding might make it worse unless you are good at very thin welding. I have small holes also in the collector area and have filled with JB Weld high heat putty and so far has lasted 2 years - other stuff I have tried has fallen out after about 500 miles. 8

If you want to make the 600 go faster then learn how to ride it --if you want to go faster in a straight line then get the 1000 but be prepared for the 600 to be all over you on the bends

I know nothing about medicine but I would of thought that as you had been taking it for almost 2 weeks then you would have had an "episode" earlier in the course. That not see before bloke in your local sounds suspicious, its a shame that CTV footage has been wiped, but there may be a way to retrieve it, I belive the way digital media is wiped is by just making space available and the original is still there - or something like that.

Although I do not condone such behaviour I have always thought it odd that you can be done for not having proper control of your bike if you are caught pulling wheelies when to pull a wheelie takes a lot of control of your bike - does it not

Something though, could it of been the cold that saved you. I guess that you already know about all of this though.

Tyres are like baby nappies - have you noticed how the new ones are dryer than the old (cheaper) ones - are they saying the old ones were crap ( forgive the pun ) same with bike tyres "our most grippyest yet out performs this or that - so you are saying your old cheaper ones were crap then

When you read the blurb - they all sound the same - re grip in wet and grip in dry - cornering, but some are more suited to touring - longer lasting maybe.
