Before i got the cg125 for winter work i looked at a new KTM200 Duke £3000 new otr 0% finance  2 years warranty and breakdown (i think ) , the only reason i didn't get it was i only do 20 miles a day max and couldn't justify a new bike that sits in the garage most of the year, when they get to about £1800 second hand im having one  :D

If its just for a commute, cheap and reliable wins , i commute on an R1 into london(ish)but when its snowing or icy i take the Cg125 , i only have about a 20 mile round trip and can get away with a ruck sack, i would guess the [size=0px]Deauville would be easier to filter in traffic ??[/size] :)

Hi,


Had the same thing with my YPVS , i sent it off to these guys http://www.fuel-tank-renu.co.uk/pages/tanks.html , not cheap ( about £150 5 years ago) but it wont rust inside again and if you're going to keep the bike long term its worth doing.


I will try and find the pics of my tank and post them up  ;)

FZS600 Fazer / Re: Restricted???
« on: 26 February 2015, 10:59:47 am »
I think mine was fitted by Dave Death Motorcycles in the Isle of Wight , it was restricted when i got it, have you checked the paper work / service folder, mine had all the bits in the folder to return to unrestricted, but as said on here a quick Dyno run will soon tell, i think i still have the restricted kit, i will have a look at the weekend , if i find it i will post a pic, you can then take the top of your carb off and check the needle/ spring, if it looks like my ones it may be restricted  ;)

FZS600 Fazer / Re: Restricted???
« on: 26 February 2015, 09:37:24 am »
When i got my Fazer it was restricted with the genuine Yamaha kit ( carb springs, needles and a small plate in each carb), the bike went like a normal Fazer until you hit about 7500 rpm (in any gear ) at which point the power stopped and the bike vibrated really bad ( 110mph in top).
Where abouts are you , some one local who has a Fazer 600 could take it for a spin ??

Tried my R1 (1st inj model) on super (esso) last week and it ran really bad, kept getting error code 20 (map sensor) fault ,  just filled it up with normal today, error code went in about 5 mins and the bike runs much better.


Note: full hindle super sport system/ pc3/ k&n.

Still using the R1, but soon will be on the DT50MX  :eek :eek
