« on: 28 May 2012, 04:32:35 am »
I'm interested in ALL the facts and figures of the bike, including performance and the limits of tyre grip. I have to find out how fast it will go, how far over I can lean it before my tyres give me a warning that there about to let go and of course when you feel like taking it easy what sort of milage you can achieve.Surely this is what the fazer is all about as an all rounder and getting to know your limits in all departments is getting to know your bike. Mind you, the thought that Ive got 9 points on my licence does help make me slow down sometimes.

All mirrors have blind spots, no matter what speed you're doing. It's called a lifesaver for a reason. What's there to say another biker isn't travelling at speed and is positioned in your blind spot. But then it's your life not mine.

Fazer 1000/FZ1 corner / 250+ miles to a tank.....can of worms opened
« on: 24 May 2012, 05:05:04 pm »
OK people, in my quest to see how far I can go on one tank of fuel I think I may have stumbled on either a discrepency on what actual capacity the tank is or what I suspect is us being ripped off at the pumps. When I had reached 230 miles I stopped and checked my tank. There still looked a fair bit of fuel in the bottom so I carried on. I stopped and checked again at 250 and although not dry things looked a little bleak. I made my way to the nearest and cheapest petrol station when with in 100 yards of the forecourt the engine cut out showing 253.3 miles. As my intention was to see how far it would go I came prepared with some spare fuel. At a guess I must have put about 1 litre of fuel in before topping the tank with 21.49 l of fuel. So either our tanks are bigger than we think or fuel pumps are callibrated wrong in order to rip us off. I know I must take in to consideration fuel pipes and carbs but can not see this being as much as 1 and a half litres. Would be interested to hear your views maybe someone can enlighten me.

Dave, it's about the same size as the standard screen at 11 and a half inches but the rake angle is steeper giving you better wind deflection as for postage £5 should cover it. Darren.
