Reattached his knob

Plus the hr woman is unlikely to side with a hairy arsed biker bloke anyway. She probably has had enough sexism her way that seeing a bloke get a drop of it is probably her idea of fair.
(Arse hirsuteness status irrelevant, but lack of baps might be your problem).

Hello from SL3!

Hurt like hell

I had a blue one like that - 2002. Loved the colour. Had a Mivv GP on it, the normal short carbon can not the conic. Mine had Renthal bars  (658 and then 758), heated grips, belly pan, Scottoiler and I cut the rear mudguard to fit the number plate, just leaving a small tab for the reflector.

Went mountain biking in the mountains round Garda many years ago. I think we stayed in Riva. What a fantastic area! Definitely preferred it to Sorrento, where they grow lemons but if you ask for a slice in your Coke they refuse! Nobody wears crash helmets down there and they ride scooters 3-up with shopping and a dog LOL!

I live near Bedfont/T5 and remember the MC name but never actually went in.

I know you have to have the GB sticker - apparently that's a fave nick over there. Got a new number plate with GB/EU made up when I took my gen 1 over to Spain.

Mesh airflow jacket. That'd be the one thing I would do differently if I went again.

Mine was always a case of - open choke  (only if engine cold), thumb the starter with throttle closed, wait for it to fire and blip the throttle. Knock choke back gradually. Once warm it would start straight away. My previous one was pretty much the same. Weather made no difference, only engine temp. So even in summer I always opened the choke and closed the throttle to start.

Quality! He's as stuffed as crust.

It might be different on the 6 but on the gen 1 Fazer Thous it's quite common. It's a level switch rather than pressure so it looks more worrying than it is. Always happens when you give it a big handful if the level is a tad low. By a tad low,  I mean halfway between min and max. The lines on the glass are a bit conservative really. On the 1000, the general consensus is to fill the oil up to just past the max mark on the sight glass, but so you can still see a bubble at the top of the glass. This avoids danger of totally overfilling it and damaging seals. I've had this confirmed by dealers, who have asked Yamaha, and also commonly stated on the old Fazer 1000 forum and here in Thou Corner. Some use of oil is deemed normal and my first Thou used to want topping up after a trip from Watford to Scotland. My silver one didn't hardly use any though. If it uses a little bit in2000 miles that's ok.  If it was a litre every thousand I'd be more worried. Hope that helps.
