So in 2016 I made probably the worst mistake of my biking career which was to trade in my beloved 03 Fazer thou for a brand new MT09 Tracer having believed the advertising hype that these were the new Fazer. Well nothing in my opinion could have been further from the truth, I put it down to individual taste because I am aware that these bikes have a strong following but in short I hated it. I rode it for 3000 miles over a 3 month period because I wanted to give it a chance but I couldn't get on with it. Instead of cutting my losses and going straight back to a Fazer though I embarked on a merry go round of different bikes in search of the perfect replacement. In short I've decided there is no perfect replacement so last week I sold my Z1000sx and am now looking for a good Gen 1 FZS1000, I've seen quite a few advertised for top money, is this due to their popularity or a consequence of the lockdown. If anyone knows of a good reasonably priced bike I'd be grateful for a heads up, thanks lads

Setting up YSS rear shock Preload and Sag on FZ6 Fazer |

This is a thread for anyone who, like me, has replaced the OEM FZ6-SA (2006) rear shock with a YSS one.
Because I'm only 64kg I found that the ride was too hard and, after measuring, it turned out that the Rider Sag was only 19mm (it should have been between 30-35mm!)
Unlike the OEM FZ6 rear shock which only has 7 adjustment "steps", the YSS rear shock has a collar on a screw thread which gives a whole lot of potential adjustment.
Of course this also meant that I had *no idea* how much to turn it by to get the sag I needed.
It turned out that adjusting it wasn't actually too difficult, there's a small allen bolt in the middle hole of the collar at the back of the shock (although it's screwed right in, so you can't really see it...) so you need to get in there with a long 3mm allen key (better than the little short one they supply) and take it out, then you can adjust the preload.
For me, I found that unwinding it by 1 full turn gave a 4mm increase in sag, so I then did it by 2 more turns and the sag is now 31mm which feels a lot better.

Exhaust DB levels |

Anyone know what the uk laws are regarding this. Was talking to guy up the street who has an 899 Panigale with termignoni exhausts, said it sounded well and asked if he was gonna take it on track...he rekons they are registered with something like 108db standard and he could have a job passing the noise regs even with stock exhaust...crazy
I know the fz1 is 95db static at 5500rpm and according to Scorpion its within 2db of this. Im not a fan noisy cans anymore and with the baffle in i find it about the same as stock in lower revs.
What i dont get is that all i can find about uk rules is a figure of 80db...is that supposed to be at idle or something? I think that would be struggle for lots of stock bikes.
.anyone know??
