I've got tinted black on my silver Fazer. Looks classy. Normal screen, not double bubble on mine.

Looked on Wemoto at replacement pistons and seals. They quote a large and small piston and seal kit. Do I need both? Is one for one side of the calipers and one for the other? I assume I'd need a set for each calipers?

Happened about 5 weeks ago so I took off calipers and took out pads and cleaned up the pistons thoroughly. Put it back together and they seemed ok. Bike not been ridden since and they are sticking on again. I can free them up a bit by wheeling the bike in the garage. Original hoses. Fluids done about 16k ago. Pads in good nick.


Other suggestions?

I went across last year with my dad. Two motorbikes and a 2 berth cabin. I think he rang them to make the booking rather than over the Internet. More expensive than Dover but when you live in Huddersfield, it's a bit of a hack down the motorways to get there. We came back via Calais/Dover.

The Pilot Road 3 is definitely the way to go with good grip wet and dry and the longest lasting tyre I have ever used.
From experience it is a better better tyre overall than the Pilot Road 2 and lasts much longer.
I think the Metezler M5 is a slightly better tyre for grip wet and dry but would not last as long

How does the mileage compare between PR2s ans PR3s? I considered the 3s but didn't think I 'd get much more mileage than the 2s.

If you type exup valve into YouTube There are loads of videos on how they work, should be serviced etc. I was looking recently in relation to a Thunderace.

You can't go wrong with DID.

I'd say your written english is first class VNA. Not sure about the way you use it though

What really pisses me off is Uni students and graduates. Can't spell to save there/their/they're lives! Apparently spelling/grammar isn't taught at school anymore, although it's making a comeback.

The teaching of spelling and grammar was made compulsory upon the introduction of the National curriculum in 1988. The previous government overhauled things with the introduction of the New Primary Curriculum a few  years ago, with, again, there being emphasis on spelling and grammar being taught. Finally, the present government have introduced a grammar testing element to this year SATS tests for year 6 children. We await their wise rulings on what exactly they want us to teach regarding literacy skills as they have jettisoned the New Primary Curriculum introduced by New Labour. Rearrange the following to make a well-known phrase: brewery up  couldn't piss arrange a in a -


Unfortunately, English is an incredibly difficult language to master proficiently given its complexities, exceptions and anomalies. Is it any wonder the kids struggle? Most adults struggle to write and punctuate to the standard expected of a child of 11. How many of you punctuate your sentences with :  or ; ? Is it that beneficial to teach spellings with the prefix circum- (circumnavigate, circumference)? Perhaps if you wish to become a round-the-world yachts person? Teaching lists of spellings is great for kids with great rote learning abilities, but not a lot of good to many children, especially if not taught in context.


Teaching Standard English is very difficult when a significant minority of children spend all but their time at school speaking in non-standard, slang or colloquialisms ("It were nuff good when me and frank was playing on us xboxes last night."). One perseveres to maintain the beauty of our language. Long Live the Apostrophe!

Found the problem: The plate and the fixing washer that the secured the link that fastened the chain together has come off. The link was half way off. Christ knows what damage it would have done If it had come off whilst riding. Brand new chain as well. I'll be taking it back to the garage that fitted it for them to sort. The sprockets, washer and nut seems ok and I can't see any damage as a consequence.

New front and rear sprockets along with new chain. Modified sprocket nut on. Took some slack up in the drive chain last week but the bike ran fine without knocking for a 200 mile ride. I'll double check the wheel alignment but I took care when I tightened chain.

Had to abort my ride today. The bike developed a loud knocking sound coming from the bottom end of the engine. When I stopped and revved it in neutral, no knocking. But when riding the knocking is regular and increase with speed. I can also feel the knocking. I'm not at all mechanically savvy, but have a feeling this might be terminal. Any advice?
