General / Road Legal Exhaust?
« on: 20 January 2022, 08:20:45 pm »
A mate of mine has a Black Widow Exhausts silencer which, according to their web site, is road legal as long as the baffle is fitted. Looking at my mates there is no BS AU 153... stamped on it. I thought all legal silencers had to have this ???  Don't want to buy one only to find it won't pass an MOT.Any thoughts?Rob

General / Trade in & DVLA
« on: 22 October 2021, 09:11:49 pm »
Hi all,
Part exchanged my no.2 bike for a newer one with a local motor trader at the beginning of the month. He assured me that he'd deal with the V5 change of ownership for the old bike. I used the DVLA's vehicle check and it hasn't been updated, so I contacted the dealer who said he'd passed the bike onto a third party and would chase it up with them. I've heard nothing for a week & the vehicle check still shows no change. Before the trade in I copied the V5- so I've still got all of the details necessary to do the update online. Question is should I give a few more days and use the online update, giving the details of the motor trader I dealt with?Any thoughts ????Rob

General / Chainmate
« on: 02 July 2020, 08:57:04 pm »
Read a review of the Chainmate (http://www.chainmate.co.uk) in August's Ride Mag. and decided to give a go.  No overspray, no bits of greasy cardboard- does exactly as it says on the tin. I think I should recover the £23 in savings on chain lube, but it may take some time!Great piece of kit & highly recommended.Rob

« on: 07 January 2018, 09:09:26 pm »
Anyone know who manufactures Halfords semi synth. motorcycle oil? Just done an oil change with some and it looks & smells similar to Silkolene!
Probably wrong, usually am.

Just been looking at the Eurosport schedule and they list live coverage for MotoGP Qatar on 26th March. Thought this was only available through BT sport- am I missing something here??

Fazer 1000/FZ1 corner / Gen 2 adjustable dogbone
« on: 16 November 2016, 10:05:36 pm »
After fitting an R1 shock I had to lower the ride height (R1  shock is about 1" longer than the FZ1 shock). I checked fleabay and decided I could make an adjustable linkage myself so I bought  a right & left handed M12 rod end bearing and a length of 19mm stainless hex and this is the result. Total cost £12.50!

Fazer 1000/FZ1 corner / Relay Arms
« on: 13 August 2016, 09:33:15 pm »
Decided to clean and regrease the suspension linkages today. I noticed that the linkage which connects the relay arms to the swing arm had more play, about 10 thou, than the others although the bolt, sleeve and bearings are all OK so it looks like the eyes in the relay arm itself may have become slightly elongated. The bike passed its MOT 2 months ago and this wasn't flagged up so I'm wondering if a bit of movement isn't too much of a problem.
Any thoughts?

Fazer 1000/FZ1 corner / HEL brake lines
« on: 06 October 2015, 08:59:31 pm »
I emailed HEL about brake lines for my 2009 FZ1 S and they replied that they only had 2006-2008 models on their database- is there any difference??
They did say that I could send the old lines to them and they would send them back by return of post but that would leave me without transport.

Introduction / Hi from Walsall
« on: 16 July 2015, 10:47:41 pm »
Had a Fazer 600 ages ago, went through the sportsbike phase, and have a Triumph Street Triple and Velocette 350 at the moment. I'm hoping to pick up a FZ1 next week.
Looking forward to tapping into the expertise on the forum.
Rob
