Morning All,


I have discovered a small split/cut on the underside of the exhaust, on the downpipe side rather than the end can section.. if you know what I mean.. so closer to the front of the bike.


I don't want it to turn into a drama so i don't want to try and remove the downpipes at this moment in time...  :eek


I'm thinking either JB weld.. or... because I've just got a new cheap welder, to try and weld it??


Does anyone know if it's OK to weld an exhaust without taking it off the bike? not sure where/how to earth it properly.. or if it will destroy the bike..


I guess disconnecting the battery and a minimum...??

17k miles, recent service less than 500 miles ago, can put a new mot on with sale (expires in April but done less than 100 miles since the last one) comes with heated grips and centrestand, only one previous owner, owned by my girlfriend for the last 9 years, totally original and unmolested,  everything works as it should. Spare key and magic red key. Just not getting used so it's going towards a caravan upgrade...

£2995 but open to sensible offers. Bike is based in Cheltenham (UK despite my regrettable username)

Is this the correct one to upgrade my thou?
It looks similar to the one's with electronics on it but the seller says it does not have wiring on it. I'm not sure, maybe the wires are cut off, or maybe it's the right one.

Hi all, my '05 FZ6 has passed its latest UK MOT so im looking forward to another year in the saddle but during the test I was given a 'verbal' advisory that the rubber bushes which are used where the front peg mounting plates are fixed to frame need replacing. I'm happy to carry out the work myself but just can't find the exact parts I need, any advise on part names, numbers and potential supplier details would be much appreciated.

Hi all
Just curious if anyone hear has never dropped a bike, not just your current bike but any bike, not including accidents that wern't your fault but drops due to your own clumsiness.


I know I have ?

Just wondering if this belonged to anyone on here?
Looks to be a very clean nice example but imho, a bit strong on pricing?

Hi


Would really welcome some advice on what to do here. I had an accident on my bike before Xmas - it was the driver's fault and his insurer has accepted liability. They've said my bike is a total loss (Cat N). They have given me a fairly good settlement (only £150 less than what I actually paid for the bike) and valued my bike at nearly £1k over what I paid for it (but I got a good deal on the bike and actually agree with the valuation). I don't think the repairs will cost the full amount which they have quoted for but I can't get a garage to quote for me with the insurer's engineer report. I really don't want to accept the settlement and find that there's more damage to the bike over and above what they have given me for the settlement (although I don't think there is but I do not know alot about the mechanics of bikes). So two questions really:


1. Is it worth accepting the settlement which I think is a good offer and take the bike back? The insurance company are refusing to buy it off me - they are offering a settlement + the salvage value which equals their valuation of the bike if I want to sell it


2. Can anyone recommend any reliable garages dealing with FZ1s in London who aren't going to rip me off?

hello,again, I've just fitted new throttle cables on my gen 2 fz1n ,I've never known such a hard fiddly job, in the end I had to pull the throttle bodies up out of their hoses to get the bottom cable in. when I start the bike up it misses on a low throttle and comes in on four after about 4000revs,it's running terrible,there is also a double click on the twistgrip which wasn't there before,on opening and closing as if the butterflies are out of synch.There is free play on the cables,I haven't a clue now whether it's electrical or what. Could I have disturbed any sensor or something ? there is a throttle position sensor on the bodies but I didn't knock it or anything.Any ideas ?

Suppose it doesn't hurt to ask - in case there are any motorbike wheel builders among the members:


Could you recommend a set of spoke keys, and tension meters (I suppose this is done by measuring the tightening torque, with all the cons of such a method) for building motorcycle wheels?


Preferably available in Germany, but the UK works fine too - USA is a bit cost-prohibitive due to shipping costs bein over the roof in most cases, for whatever reason (guess they don't like Serbia very much   ).
