So I am getting a Tsubaki Alpha X ring chain and wanted to know pitch I need.

Orite folks, its been a while since I posted on here.  Have to say I have missed all the chat and general shite talking 
Anyhoo, I jumped the dyke a couple of years ago and got shot of my Yam FZ1 for a Kwak ZZR1400, have to say I love my Kwak but there is some kind of strange pull from Yamaha and in particular Fazer ownership :'(
I am holding off to see if they redo the FZ1 and stick a crossplane monster in it, has anyone heard anything?? is there plans for a new model??

Si

has anyone had any real experience with Arashi disks?
I have a warped front disk from when i dropped it, and although its been ok for a few months of nice weather I am looking to replace them asap before the cold wet dark nights creep in.
I know you get waht you pay for but I cannot afford OEM's and these at £123 a pair inc p n p!!! from mad hornets seem great value?
a search for reviews seems to give that most people that have tried them think they are pretty dammed good?
any foccers got some first hand experience of these?

Number one son , ex Gen 1 owner , living in the USofA just emailed me with a picture of his spanking new FZ1s.

Anyone going to brightona?

In the last year or so I have had the outside 2 plugs come lose a few times.
They seem to go about 1000-1500 miles ish then I start hearing a little puff piff sort of sound.
Often able to see the cap rattling as well.

When checking they have worked out about half way. Left more often than the right but both do it.
Tried torque settings, tried the normal finger tight + 1/4 and tried very tight lol
Thread from what I can see looks good condition. Plugs have been swapped out twice with new ones and also tried swapping middle ones to outside ones. Nothing makes a diff, about 1000 miles later It's lose again.

So, I don't want to use a thread lock as it probably isn't a good idea on plugs. But anyone have ideas on how to stop it?
Not the end of the world, takes 5 mins to sort each time. But can't be good when its lose

Hello from N.Ireland


Picked up a new to me Fazer 1000, 2004 with 5000 miles.


Immaculate and standard apart from heated grips, hugger and rad guard.


Drained the oil, coolant, serviced the brakes, removed and greased the exup valve, exhaust headers off and studs renewed and lubed.  Shock out, linkages lubed etc. Afraid to ride it now, might get dirty......
