Hey all.


I've recently bunged a set of Ferodo HH sintered pads into the front of my FZS.


Problem is, the brakes now feel horrible. Really snatchy and rough.


Is this normal for sintered pads? If not, looks like the discs might be warping.


Guy I bought the bike off said they were new last year, so hopefully not. But then he lied about other things too. There was no gold stashed in the fusebox....

Just thought I would change the oil on my front forks, one leg at a time. Bike has 25,000 miles so due really and weather forecast rain, and GP on the box.
No probs getting the fork (in) leg off, but while working the fork (in) tube slowly back and forth to drain all excess oil,, I let it go in a tad too much and click,, fork (in) tube locked. And the damper rod bolt although loose, will not come out, it feels like the threads are either stripped or turning the entire damper rod in the tube. Any help would be appreciated.  :'(   

bos titanium exhaust can with removable decibel killer for a 1200 bandit, been told it will also fit srad 750, zx9r, zx6r, but you would need to check first,,, excellent build quality and in great condition

I've been watching these, and I spoke to the guy - but I'm going away Tuesday and wouldn't have the time to get them or anything, so I thought I'd share the link:

Maybe someone will want them! He gave me a £50 BIN, but no one has bid, so someone might get lucky at £30!

Hi there. The front brakes on my foxy have just started binding slightly....not badly mind but the disc gets slightly warm to the touch even when ive tested it by riding for a few miles only using the rear. I've done the obvious of thoroughly cleaning the pistons and they all move freely using finger pressure which is why this is a headscratcher. I wouldn't have thought the seals would need replacing as the bike has only covered 20k. Any light shone in my general direction would be much appreciated. Thanks

Hi all! After taking the head off and replacing the downpipes for stainless, and replacing the carb rubbers, I now seem to have a 'flat spot' around 6k. When hitting 6k with the throttle open fully it seems to bog down and refuse to get through the 6/7k mark (seems fine in 1st, 2nd, 3rd though) yet when using about 3/4 throttle it goes past no issue.

Any ideas?

O.K guy,s just ordered one so two thing,s
1) Does the filter come pre oiled
2) Considering i only just know 1 end of a spanner from the other how long should i be looking at for me to change it.
