I want a bag that can still be used when I sell my bike so a top box is no good. I have a couple of North Face bags but they are difficult to secure properly hence looking at the Oxford bags.

Oh and on a separate note, dont be a tw*t and drive at 50 in a 30! If you hit anyone it is almost certain you will kill them... Save the stupid speeds for the country or motorway where you are likely only to kill yourself 😀

Having attended numerous accidents over the years and seen the utter devastation that is caused to everyone involved and their families.

It is just not worth going to jail over or having guilt for the rest of your life about the 5 year old whose head you caved in and was unrecognisable to his parents just because you wanted to get somewhere 2 mins early. Trust me it is not something you wanted etched into your brain. Save the high speed for places that people are unlikely to be and pay the £140 to do your advanced riding with IAM. It doesn't mean you can ride like a tw*t but it will help you see dangers before most other riders will

Anyway, rant over! It's been a tough few months 😳

As a blue light driver I can tell you that you get 3 dispensations in law.

- Break the speed limit, where appropriate.
- Treat red traffic lights as a give way.
- And can drive right of a keep left sign.

Every other part of the Road Traffic Act has to be adhered to. When parking in an emergency then it may be necessary to park in less than ideal places however this is only to be for as long as is required for the emergency. If the emergency is resolved/de-escalated then you have to move your vehicle. If there is an accident caused as a result then regardless of how stupid the other driver is, the blue light driver will be held liable.

General / Oxford Aqua T50 or T30 roll bag
« on: 25 February 2017, 10:32:10 pm »
I want to buy one for commuting to work with a few days worth of clothes and a laptop but the T50 look far too big for an FZ6 and the T30 seems a bit on the small side for the amount of kit I want to carry.

Does anyone have either of them and have an opinion on pros/cons?

I am guessing the 50 and 30 litres are maximum sizes, can they be made smaller if required?

How easy do they attach?

Anyone had bad experiences with them?

Are they a danger when at or slightly 😳 Above the speed limit?

Any help greatly appreciated.

If I want to replace my brake lever do I have to buy a specific Yamaha Fazer lever or are they a standard thing I can buy a generic brake lever?

No it doesn't, the bulb works sometimes so why would replacing it help?

No corrosion or dirty connections... any ideas?


How would I go about checking the wiring and/or replacing it?


Is there anywhere on line that you would recommend for a replacement switch that wont bankrupt me? If it is cheap enough I might try replacing the switch as an easy option before ripping wiring looms apart.

"H7 is the dip on the LHS   H4 only uses the main beam on the right Dip beam produces a Dip to right beam fro Drive on right !"



The H4 part has confused me a little. Are you saying that if in countries that drive on the right that the H4 is wired differently and only uses dip on the right with the left side not functioning on dip?

I have just had a thought, is it possible to rewire so that both sides are able to be dipped and main beam?

Doing a good deal on amazon on these just now.

This has brought up a few other questions. What is the difference brtween H7 and H4 and do I need both?

What is the max wattage I can fit?

Am I able to make both headlights dipped and both switch on as main beam?

I tried playing with the bulb connections and they seem fine, I haven't checked for dirt or corrosion but doubt it is either as bike is immaculate and garaged. Will check them anyway.

I have spent 20 minutes playing with the switch but had absolutely no luck in finding anything inside. It would appear its not the switch...

Okay, perhaps I should have been very specific. Are there any specific make/model of bulbs that people have used and would recommend?

Simple question, any recommendations for brighter headlight bulbs for a 2010 FZ6 Fazer?

That's what I was thinking, any ideas how I rectify the fault? Is it a new switch or fiddle with the current switch to fix the fault?

When I am riding my 2010 Yamaha FZ6 Fazer the main beam randomly stops working. The light does not come on and the blue light in the rev counter doesnt light up. Just as randomly as it stops working, it comes back on!

I have tried the connections, wiggling the wires, turning full-lock to full-lock and riding over bumps but I cant make the fault occur.

Any ideas? I use the bike to commute for 40 miles along country roads so need main beam, especially in winter!

Thanks

Dave
