A pretty good read, some info on the fairly new Yamaha:

Rise Up Your Darkness With Yamaha's New MT-07

For some obscure reason my middle daughter has decided to get married on Malta, July this year, so I intend using most of my holiday entiltilement riding down to and then through Italy and onto Sicily to get the ferry to Malta.

I'm pretty well inundated with recomendations (some I've used before) for hotels leading down to the alps and Northen Italy but none going further south.

Has anyone done this before and have recommendations?

Been lurking up to now just taking in all the good info around this site, time to say hello.

I just got a FZS1000 for sensible touring duties. Dropped on a nice 05, one owner 18,000 mile bike that only had been out in summer so it's in pretty fine condition.


I greased the exup valve this morning and cleaned off 8 years of sticky chain lube fling from it's nether regions.


Off to Spain and the Scotland in the summer.


My other bikes are a KTM superduke (hooligan duties) SV650 (track duties) and a BMW R100rs cafe racer (posing duties)

Any help appreciated

Can you imagine riding along minding your own business than this comes at you

Wall of water hits Newlyn Bridge

I suspect the barrel is on it's way out. When I bought it the guy said it wouldn't go on to the steering lock position (not a problem for me luckily) but the key was free moving from off to on. Now it's getting to be a bit of a bugger to get on. Is there likely to be anything easy that can be done to fix up the existing barrel or should I be looking for a replacement set of locks, if so are boxeye locks the same as foxeye (just to open up the available possibilities)?


Cheers,
Rob

I have just purchased a FZ1 which came with a top sellerie seat. This is in immaculate as new condition. I believe its the short one. Its is very dark grey, with yellow piping and yellow FZ1 logo.

Just picked up my new Fazer and noticed that the "flash" switch, for the main beam doesn't work.  Is it easy to replace or do I need that whole unit on the handle bars that  it connects into?


Also, carb rubbers are in a right state, easy to replace or a garage job?  I'm no mechanic, I will happily change oil, balance carbs (badly LOL) adjust chain, I've done the rear pads once but it took ages.


Cheers
