How's everyone doing?
Got myself a boxeye as a first bike, enjoyed it before this lockdown crap. An essential worker so nowt really different for me!
Had the bike off the road for about 6 months doing the things the previous owner neglected, basically the full bike. Hopefully back up and running soon. Wasn't very mechanically minded, but with the help of the old Haynes manual and the Yamaha service manual, I'm getting better. Also added painting and bodywork repair to my repertoire.
Finding all the posts helpful, some of them are inspiring me to do other stuff but done and spent enough getting it where it is. Plenty to do in the future!

Hi All, Ian aka TheBozBoz back again, I'm in the South East. Was on this forum back when I was still dispatching nearly 10years ago on my trusty fzs600 after I'd had enough of that I just used it to commute, truly a versatile ride. Foolishly sold it to a friend of punkstig another forum member and despatcher -are you still on here?


So had a fzr1000 for about 5 years now sold and recently bought a vtr1000 but I still miss my fzs600 so tonight I won a rather ratty 99 plate which will hopefully cure the itch! Looking forward to going to a meet!

I'd like to raise the bars a small amount, what's the best way, risers or different bars ? Renthall do several types but which bar will give a small raise ?

(Apparently this is not a spoof...!)

Quote:Over the weekend, Ford unveiled a petrol fragrance for future Mach-E GT owners at the Goodwood Festival of Speed. The Fragrance is called Mach-Eau.

The OEM decided to create the new scent after it commissioned a survey where 1 out of 5 drivers said they would miss the smell of petrol after transitioning to an electric vehicle. According to Ford’s survey, 70% of the participants claimed they would miss the smell of petrol to some degree, while 24% stated they would miss the performance of ICE vehicles after the transition.

  How much is reasonable to lower a fzs 1000 by using longer dog bones before causing any other issues?  Could do to go down by say 20mm, is this reasonable?  I know the bike will be more awkward to put on the centre stand, any other issues?  Where is the best place to by some decent finished ones, don't want any old shite.

Hi,
I’ve fitted 1998/99 R1 front forks , changed the spring to 1.0 and new seals .
I’m not sure of the set up.
Need help please.

as per the title,my fzs 600 gotta go, so as the next bike will be the last before I hang up my helmet,want something comfy,but able to stick in the twisties with low helmet noise and decent wind protection..


Thinking about tracer 700,or Kawasaki versys 650 as brand new bikes,deffo not a Harley or cruiser type bike, nothing naked either...don't mind a decent used bike as long as it can do the above..


6 foot tall and 13 stone so not a racing snake !! :rolleyes


Any ideas welcome guys.

As per title anyone got by stock black bars in decent nick.


Or is there any renthals that are nearly exact. I know 758 is common mod I usually use 754 on other bikes I’ve owned.
