Just a quick Hussar Hussar for Opie Oils Excellent customer service today see the email below, not many companies would do that! Hi Team Opie,

So I place my order this morning and then in the afternoon I get a 10% off bike oils voucher by email.

Is that me just unlucky?

Regards

Tim

been clearing my mothers house over the last week taking a lot of stuff to the dump, i have known for a while that they charge for certain items but noticed today they are charging £4.80 each for tyres  :eek ...the boxeye could do with a couple of new tyres but i am not paying £9.60 to get rid of the old ones. :grumble :grumble :grumble .  could this be the beginning of the end for home fitting ?...

I have various parts for a 2009 FZ1N for sale Inc 2 screens, a gear indicator, a servo eliminator, shorty levers and bar and mirrors if anyone is interested. I will post to UK

Hey! I realise the FZ8/Fazer 8 sold in fewer numbers here in the UK compared to the other models. There seems to be a smaller selection of aftermarket parts available probably due to the lower rates of ownership.


Just wondering if it would be a good idea for people to comment parts which they know are easily interchangeable from the 1000 and 600 models. That way when we're looking for something and can't find it listed for the 800 we know we can look for the same part listed for the 1000/600 and it'll fit.


What do you guys think?

Hi again, i changed the clutch plates and put new springs in it as well, put it all back together as it should be but the clutch leaver is very soft, very little resistance when you let the leaver go.


I adjusted the free play on the handle bar and found out how to do the engine side free play (the screw is as far out as I would dare leave it be) but it hasnt done much to the resistance.


I tried a gentle test as i could on the centre stand and it seemed to change gears ok.


Is this lack of resistance normal? I dont remember the clutch lever being like this when i did the same thing on my previous triumph 900?


Any ideas? Cheers guys

Maybe I should start a new thread but does anyone have a reference for a suitable paint for the black swinging arm on an FZS1000 2003?

Looks like BMW have come up with a maintenance free chain, which they've called M Endurance. It's being offered as a £100 option on S1000RR's and S1000XR's. Seems all clever stuff in conjunction with Regina by the look of it. Looks like a normal X ring but with an industrial diamond coating (ta-C). No lubing or adjusting. Scott oiler shares will be in a tailspin. :lol

Apologies if this is something that had been covered in another thread.  I have a 2008 FZ1S with the greenish gold wheels.  Over the years these have picked up a few scuffs and scratches. Can anyone recommend a touch-in paint for this colour wheels, please?

For sale - K&N Air Filter YA1006 to fit FZ1-N or FZ1-S.

Used, but in good condition (it has a K&N million mile warranty after all). Comes complete with original box, airbox sticker, panel sticker, instructions.

Needs a clean and re-oiling. Either you can do that yourself or I can do it for you before dispatch (at extra cost) using K&N genuine cleaner and oil.
£20 as is or £25 cleaned and re-oiled, plus postage about £3 first class UK.

DM to me if you want to buy.
