Just renewed a car policy and insurers have asked for a photocopy or scan of all our driving licences....never been asked that before and not sure for security reasons if I should supply them. Views?

Suddenly, I'm struggling to get photos uploaded again.
I resize them ok seemingly, to a more manageable file size. But photobucket keeps uploading the original file size.
I've tried loading them to the site using additional options, but it seems to take ages to do anything, and then the page expires before getting a result, as if it were trying to upload too much (this happens with only one photo too).

One that I resized yesterday was back at original size today, so maybe it's my photo manager software playing up?

Any ideas anyone?

Firstly Happy Easter to you all 


Went out for a spin yesterday happy and came home sad.  3k done on my Fazer since i passed my test (bike now totalling 21k) and it has developed this large rough spot below 3k rpm. 


Setting off from standing or slow riding gives the bike this awful rough, almost grinding feel up to 3k rpm where it smooths out.  It seems to have appeared on various threads before.  This bike has a receipt from previous life for dealing with similar problem. 


Spark plugs, leads etc i will check, might be within my capability to do some basic carb checks.  These seem to be common things to look at but i welcome other pointers.


Also, don't suppose anyone knows where in the Morecambe/Lancaster area this sort of thing can be looked at?  Bike garages somewhat sparse!!

Anyone recommend a brand or have one they are selling etc, cheers.

Pinched from another couple of forums, just to get a bit of banter about you're favourite music going, see who likes what.

Currently got on "Sister Morphine" by the Stones - used to do this in a little acoustic trio, mostly for a bike club we all used to be in, friends of, and parties , then for SE MAG (we played the acoustic marquee at the last Magna Carta rally that was held at Upminster), so this tune brings back some memories (not that many cos we were all stoned most of the time  mokin  :lol  ).

Also, when I was in hospital after my big smash, my mate brought me in a tape (tape?!  :eek  ) that had this on, Comfortably Numb by Floyd etc - when I was high as a kite from the Omnipon  mokin    :rollin ).

The Haynes manual tells me that if any 10 links are >150mm then change the chain

The first distance I checked was 153mm

The local Yamaha dealer said if I can still adjust the wheel rearwards (which I can) then there's still life in the chain

The wheel axel is in the middle of its hole so plenty of rear travel left

But I'm worried if the chain will wear out to the point of risk of breaking before I reach the rear wheel adjustment limit

How do other FZS600 owners work out when it's time to change the chain?

Mine's a May 2003 Model.
