The more I read about these the more I say to myself "how much better can it be ?"  I thought my own bike was pretty smooth and rolls on and off the throttle lovely. What I don't like is the splutter/stutter and blip of starting the bike with a bit of choke all the time. The kit stops all that.

I'm in Nottinghamshire NG17 so if someone close is willing to let me have a bimble before splashing the cash, I would be most grateful. Weekdays, weekend whatever as long as it's dry. No point testing in the wet !

Cheers.

Hi guys, received an email from Euros today saying they have a flash sale on HID Kits..

H4 http://www.eurocarparts.com/ecp/p/car-ac...-282427073


H7 http://www.eurocarparts.com/ecp/p/car-ac...-282427073


My local branch has none but they do free delivery from head office
Mrs has ordered a H7 kit for her car.

On Sunday i joined Nick's rideout, we had just moved off from lunch and as you see we correctly turn left at the junction and use the two lanes to go ahead as marked.
Now while stopped i noticed a black Landrover Discovery pull up behind the bike in the right lane, it was tight to me and tight to the bike ahead of him.


As the lights changed it moved forward straight away, i held back as i dont want to get run over by a small dicked Landrover driver, he seemed as though he wanted to race us from the green light,


As you see he drove though us and then came across me , i gave him room to do this, it is the right thing to do at times of cunts driving landrovers, i then when safe passed him and continued as cool as a cucumber, unhurt too, :lol




The total DICK

Well it seems like another one of us is selling their little Fazer! My work donkey is more than likely going to it's new home next week, back into the loving arms of my son who's decided to get back into biking after a 12 month break.

I'm keeping the white FZ1, as that's my baby, but as I commute 40 miles per day, I need another bike. I'm thinking of going a bit Jap Retro just for a change, and going for one of these.

Has anyone out there had one? Or currently owns one? Or wants to sell me one (for about £1400)

Do you immediately think 'PREY' and absolutely have to catch them and make the pass?


I had the opposite the other day, where I spotted a bike coming up behind quite quick.  It was a nice windy B road, with a fair amount of traffic.  It was a great game of cat and mouse, me trying to get ahead and him trying to keep up.


He didn't pass me though 

This is my first bike that I have been mechanically minded on, and those before it were 20 odd years ago.  I'm not sure what the correct feel on the clutch lever is, and want to find out if I have a problem looming, or if what I'm getting is normal.


I've adjusted the clutch cable a few times, at the lever end, as described by the manuals, so that there is about 1mm of slack before the lever starts to pull.  Over time, presumably due to cable stretch, the amount of slack has increased and I have to pull the lever a bit further to disengage the clutch.


Of late, it seems that the bite point is getting further away rather than closer to me.  There isn't much slack, but I barely touch the lever and the clutch is free.  I've not noticed any slip (yet), so I'm not sure if the clutch is wearing out and due an overhaul or not.


I've not looked at the lower end of the adjustment, I assumed that it was just another cable adjustment , just at the other end.  Is this right, or would adjusting it at that end move the bite point?


Any help and advice greatfully received.

what are the standard jet sizes for a 2003 fzs600?
also how many turns out for the mixture screws?


my bike has aftermarket downpipes and is really fluffy/ spluttery below 5000rpm but i'm not sure if this is causing the issue or whether someone has being messing with the jetting already.

i have a Honda TLR200 for sale if anybody is interested.
its all complete and a runner, the engine is excellent but its a bit rough.
its a project that i dont have time for at the moment unfortunately.
looking for £800 for it.
its in Hawkhurst, Kent.

Hi Fellow Foccers,


I thought I'd start touching up those annoying scrapes and scars accrued over the life of my Gen1 2001 vintage.


It's the blue colour and I believe that it's DPBMC 0564 i.e Deep Purplish Blue Metallic C rather than the later Galaxy blue.


Could someone confirm please and also know where I can buy cheapish but good quality paint match (rattle can not needed, just touch up pen)?


Cheers
Rich
