Hi guys, planning a trip to Germany next year on the trusty thou. I have just fitted a top box or my clothes etc. but i wanted a small bag up front for passport, wallet and tunnel tickets saving me the hassle of going through jacket pockets.. The Oxford X2 looks as though it would fit the bill but wanted to get peoples thoughts and ideas before spending £40 on a bag.. http://www.oxprod.com/index.php?pg=3&action=dept&id=174&pid=546&p=If you do have one a picture of it on a Gen1 would be very much appreceated. thanks,

Hi all, I have been having a tidy out in the garage and found an old link pipe for a FZS600. As i no longer have the bike it is free to good home.
I really cannot be bothered to post it so if you live in the Milton Keynes area and would like it PM me and we can arrange something.
It is a little tatty but it would clean right up i am sure with some elbow grease and polish.

Hi all, we drew our secret santa today at work. The bloke i have to buy for has a Street triple R and thinks its the best thing since the wheel was invented.. He is a bit of a knob and a know-it-all. as such i need some help with what to get him and possibly bring him down a peg. budget is up to £5 he is one of these people who thinks hes a "proper" biker but his triple has done a massive 450 miles this year....  Thanks,

Hi all, Happy Halloween to everyone..
Last night I spent the evening carving a pumpkin. I am rather happy with the outcome so thought I would share.
Anyone else waste their evening doing the same?
Respect to anyone who knows who this rocker is

The staff have some real balls.. but to be honest a Ducati dealer in Croydon it was only a matter of time. Before i get flamed for that comment i do know Croydon rather well..

Hi all, as i often get flashed by car drivers i decided maybe i should get my preload setup correctly. does anyone know if each increment of adjustment has a weight guide at all? i am 6'3 and about 17 stone fully kitted up. it is adjusted 2 from top but i still get flashed. (in truth it does light road signs up) is it worth me going the extra 2 notches or should i get another spring? spotted a hyperpro for about £85 so thought that might be worth the investment.
cheers for your thoughts..

I have a Scorpion stubby exhaust for sale. it has Titanium embossed on it.
It was on my Gen 1 thou when i got it but it wasn't me.. It has "Race use only" stamped on it so not sure if it would have gone through an MOT (could polish out?) Condition is OK a good clean would bring it right up.
It is more of a universal type so would fit most things with the correct link pipe.
(I also have a FZS600 link pipe for sale if anyone is interested. £10)
Looking for roughly £40 to cover the cost of the new exhaust I got to replace it.
I live in Milton Keynes and would rather it was picked up but could post if needed.
Thanks, Rob

Hi all, just got a set of HEL lines for my Gen 1. the rear went on without a problem but no matter how i route the front ones it does not feel natural. I have fitted Braided lines on bikes before without a problem but i wonder if i am missing a trick.
Have any of you helpful bunch got any pics or advice on the best way to route them?
I have the 2 line race style setup if that helps,
thanks, FuZzBoM

Hi all, i have a Garmin Zumo 220 and have mounted it with the supplied RAM mount kit. i am no happy with it because it looks untidy.
How do you peeps have yours mounted?
to give some background i have a set of renthal bars fitted with the brace bar. i would ideally like to mount it on the brace bar or behind the clocks but open to suggestions.
thanks,

Hi all, I have had an epic 4 days in Ireland covering over 1200 miles.. my 51 plate fazer has been spot on and not missed a beat.
however... leaving the ferry i noticed my RPM guage doing odd things while ticking over.
flicks to 0rpm then to 7000rpm and then back to 0 again. it keeps doing this till i ride off and then the guage sits at normal RPM's while riding.
It done this pretty much all the way home from what i could see.
any suggestions to what this could be?
thanks,

Hi, i am planning to wire up the power for my satnav and luckily there is a ignition switch wire under the seat for the alarm circuit. my question is does anyone know how much load would be safe to put across it?
The satnav is only 1 amp max but the last thing i want to do is burn something out.
my other plan was to just be on the safe side and fit a relay.
I also plan to fit an alarm shortly so i guess that would be extra load on it.

Hi all, I am doing a tour of ireland in a few weeks with a mate.
I m looking for a tail pack to accompany my Knox backpack but cant decide what one..
at the moment i am torn between an Oxford X40 or X30 or even the kriega us30 combo.
I like the quick release ability of all 3 packs and that is what draws me the most as i may need to take it off possibly multiple times in a day.
I am swaying more towards the Kriega at the present time..
Your thoughts?

Hi all, as above I would like a hugger for my 51 plate gen 1. the bike is blue so would be happy with blue, black or carbon effect.
Live in Milton Keynes and willing to travel to pickup depending on distance.
Thanks,
Rob

Hi all, i have recently purchased a FZS1000 as a step up from my 600.
My initial thought was to keep it but the Mrs says no so it must go.
Bike Make : Yamaha
Bike Model : FZS600
Year : 2003
Price : £2100 ono
MOT: 28Th Oct 2012
TAX: 31st Jan 2013
Mileage : 18134 (may go up slightly)
Colour : Blue
Extras : Meta M357T alarm/immobiliser, Hyperpro fork and shock spring upgrade (best mod i ever did but will supply originals if wanted), Chrome Crash bars, body colour rear hugger, light smoked screen (will include original blue one with sale if wanted), pipercross air filter.
Overall Bike Condition : condition of the bike is fairly good. a few scratches to bodywork but expected with the age of the bike i guess. mechanically very sound. normally starts without any choke and runs sweet.
Tyre/Chain/Sprocket Condition : Tyres replaced 300 miles ago to a set of Bridgestone BT023's, Chain and sprocket plenty of life left.
Service History/Receipts/Recent Service work : service stamps until 2007/14000 miles but receipts to show has been serviced. Has been sat in a local dealer for over 18 months and then in someones garage for about a year before that i believe. serviced 400 miles ago with quality oil and oil filter. iridium plugs and did a Carb balance while i was there.
Bike Location : Milton Keynes
Any Other Relevant Info : All in all a nice bike, it will be a shame to see her go but i cannot justify (to the Mrs) keeping both bikes. The bike is currently insured so would be willing to deliver if not too far given i have to get home again
Contact details: Tel 07710 468 689 or email me r0b3rt@hotmail.com
I will get some pictures up shortly and add them to the thread.
Thanks for looking

Hi all, i know this isn't the norm but thought i would post on the off chance someone sees it.
anyway its a Suzuki GS125 in red. reg no. X929 EGS and was being stored in the father in laws shed.
He lives in Furzton if you know MK..
It is the other half's bike and she is rather upset as it was of the road and not insured. so a total loss...
it would also seem there have been a few thefts of late so lock your bikes up people..
thanks,

Hi all, had a nice ride out yesterday but noticed my bite point was near enough at the end of travel when letting it out. i adjusted on the engine side and then the cable but hasn't helped much.
I did notice the plain plates are rather close but unsure what the gap should be.
also when you depress the clutch lever (with engine off) and look through the oil fill hole the 1st set of plain plates and friction plates separate from the others.. is this correct? any other foccers able to check theres and let me know if theirs does the same?
the clutch does not feel as though it slips but i am worried because i am doing a tour of Ireland in May so i want it right before i go.
Many thanks,
