Hi all,

Recently purchased this but just not for me. It looks like a good quality cover and has no rips or tears etc.
Looking to get back what I paid £60 if possible.
I put it next to the standard seat as a comparison (standard seat not for sale)

Would rather collection due to size and weight but I can stick in a backpack or in the car and meet if no too far.
Or at buyers cost can post but I would guess it has to be around £10 or so for postage.

Many thanks,
Fuzz

The rider looks okay, but watch the poor sod in the background!  :eek

The time seems to have finally arrived while servicing the Exup a few days back I noticed the pull cable was frayed. I would say about a 1/3 worn away.
Anyone found a good place to get them yet that isn't going to take triple didgets?

Number 1 on my bucket list is to go to the TT. To spectate. Every year I watch it and am in awe of these guys.
Number 2 is the NW200

I recently did a track day at Cadwell park and thought it may be nice to share some of the day with you lot.  Hope you like it.


Cheers
Simon.

So i have some replacement handlebars, the mechanical fixings will be ok to remove but the heated grips,,well i guess the are glued on, how do i go about getting them off without fecking them up?

Thought I'd post a reminder, and let the young uns know about something that was used loads in the past, but I haven't seen mention of recently.

Time was, when some ugly foccer needed to get something around the country, they would post it up on here. As there's a fair few foccers travel around a fair bit, there was often one (or 3,working in stages), could get the item where it needed to go. Obviously no good if speed is an issue, but it would be good to see this running again.

Not just another forum, a real community...

May I ask some basic questions about the FZ front fork adjusters please.


Just dropped my yokes down the forks by 10mm to improve turn in...I only did 15 miles to work so not enough time to say what difference dropping the forks has made but it definitely worked on the 600....you cant get a cheaper mod than a free mod


My main plan now is to sort out the suspension to suit me and I've been doing some basic reading up about it....basically it is a bit too hard for me at the moment...maybe set up more for the track and I've made a few observations........the bike does appear to want to run wide and vague on the front & it is a bit too crashy over even the smallest of bumps front and rear........


I think the preload seems ok for me but I probably need a little less compression up front & a little More rebound.......this would also explain why I don't feel as confident on the brakes with the mighty thou as i'm not getting enough travel under braking so getting less force onto the front tyre....im still having fun on the bike...don't think it is a million miles out but I wanna get it just right.


I'll have a fiddle and see if I can sort out the front end and then move to the Nitron rear.


First Question I suppose is.......can you adjust Compression & Rebound on the FZ1 forks.....mines a 2008....any hints on which way is which ie more or less......I can see what looks like the usual rings which im guessing are still preload....then theres the inner part which looks like it is adjustable..mine is wound almost all the way in...what does that mean then???......so is this just 2 way adjustable...preload and either Compression or Rebound???

Due to touring requirements I began to look for luggage, then snapped the sellers hand off for these:

turns out though that its not a tank bag, its a tail pack and im a bit gutted but am happy to keep the stuff as its brand new and i like it anyway.

So I tried to mount it on the tank, and its not too bad, but how can i mount it any better?

:agree

I've just fitted a set of Michelin Pilot Road 3 to the Fazer and it has totally transformed the ride, handling and braking of the bike.


I had no idea that the OE tyres were so poor until I upgraded them today. The bike no longer falls into bends, it now 'rolls' and feels planted to the road. It doesn't shimmy over white lines and the rear suspension feels less 'loose' on choppy roads when banked over. I've had a few heart stopping moments especially on roundabouts when the front has lost grip in the wet but these things are incredible.

These are my initial thoughts having covered one hundred miles on un-scrubbed tyres in the wet. If these things last as well as the reviews suggest I'll be chuffed to bits.


Oh and no I don't work for Michelin.
