Asking for a friend - where can one find those small condoms, that don't fall off?
:rollin
Seriously - a friend had their Fazer slip and fall to a side, and the only real damage were the plastic bolts holding the visor pop off. And now he's looking for new plastic ones, that will break before the visor, so he can knock his bike down again, and again.
So just came back from looking at a 2013, FZ1, 14k for sale by a one man dealer 10 mins from me. But today despite offering to put down full purchase price down as a deposit while I test rode the bike, the guy wasn't interested. My offer was above and beyond the £1k that some dealers charge, so I'm guessing this guy just wasn't setup correctly insurance wise? As in, I Have multi bike policy which allows me to ride other bikes. I also had the pleasure of his father giving me the benefit of his uninformed armchair opinion, to which I had to respectfully counter several times.
So my question is, how many of you would buy a bike without test riding it first?
And was I being too reasonable offering a full purchase price as a deposit?
This is something that came with the bike and i have sort of got used too,, but always been thinking about. :rolleyes And now something in [color=rgb(48, 48, 48)]Dman2019[/color]'s clutch change topic has got me thinking again.
Symptoms, a judder felt when taking slow junctions. One i take quite often is , off a main road , turning right ,into a small rise and sort of back on yourself again.
Solution , a touch of rear brake and no judder ..
It can happen on any slow junction and i have just learned to live with touch the rear brake gently and no judder. Nothing has ever changed it , for example new cush drive rubbers, new chain and sprockets, new rear wheel bearings, new clutch cable. Rear swing arm has no play but havent done that yet. But,,, back to [color=rgb(48, 48, 48)][/size]Dman2019[/color]'s topic. It mentions a JUDDER SPRING :rolleyes [/size][size=78%],,, mmm,,,, judder[/size] :rolleyes [/size][size=78%] ,,, well thats what im feeling,,, so any ideas.[/size]
This isnt urgent, as ive got used to it. But if i have spare time or even just serviceing the old bike , do you think it would be worth a wee look.
Any suggestions welcome.

Great bike with loads of power and takes 2 up no problem.
Bodywork in good condition, no cracks.
Oil and filter, plugs and coolant change and new front brake pads changed last year, but hardly used during lockdown. New front tyre last year and rear only 1000 miles old.
Front forks have had new seals, oil and Hyperpro springs installed. Also, rear shock replaced with R6 upgrade. 4 degree ignition advance.

It's a 16 year old bike so shows its years but in general good condition. Bad points are the clock/trip doesn’t work (Odometer does) and the silver engine paint is flaking in places.
