Fitted 40mm lower pegs . From ebay 40odd quid.  First impressions small pegs, Look a bit weak see how they go ??? have thread locked all screws as not a 100 % on size /fitting ??? Need lower pegs as i have a very bad left knee .And looking for comfort as really struggling at the moment . Off up the dales at 4 thou lol. to hopefully clear pilot jet and try pegs .

Hi . I have a bit of a problem with her . She pops farts and stutters below around 4 thou . Trying this stuff you put in the tank . Going out this morning with a rev ceiling of 4 thou . As i think the pilot jets are dirty so will keep it under 4 as this is where the pilot jet works I THINK ??? Not sure if fuel is past through the jet at higher rpm ??? Looks more likely carb strip . SO while they are to bits would be a good time to fit a jet kit as i have KN in stock air box and an open pipe Scorpian full stainless system with baffles out so would think running quiet weak ??? .
Not sure which way to go Dynojet OR ivans the later cant find UK supplier . Anyone know who sells ivans jet kits ???? dynojet plenty available .Or are there other alternatives  to these . Also will fit stainless allen screws . Get my stainless from a local guy STIG at Darlington who is  very reasonable .
Any help/info appreciated .

I have just fitted the R6 Shock (supplied by Devilsyam RIP 2 years ago) to my Gen 1 Fazer 1000. I haven't really had a chance to push on and really test out the new shock, but I may have to do a long trip with the girlfriend and luggage. Does anyone know what I should be setting the Shock to??

Been running Michilin Road 5's for last 1.5 years on my FZ6 S2, they're not bad, lasted well (over 10k). But never really had the confidence to really tip the bike into bends like I used to with my FZS600 on Metz M7RR's. A while ago, I did have confidence hit with a low side spin up when pulling out of a junction in a hurry when the Road 5s were still cold, so it could all just be in my head.

Anyways, the Road 5s nearly worn out now, contemplating going back to Metzeler M7RR or their new M9RR's. Figured they'd be a bit stickier than Road 5's, but still reasonable all rounders for all weathers, even if they likely won't last as long.

What do you have on your FZ6?
What do you prefer on it and why?Anyone tried the M7RR or M9RRs on the FZ6?

(can of worms opened, go!)

Hi all,


I bought a 2012 FZ1 S ABS a few weeks ago. I'm loving the bike, but not very impressed with the brakes. They are a bit spongy and take a bit of time and squeeze to stop the bike, although the pads are new and the fliud was replaced before I bought it.


What would be a good, relatively cheap upgrade? Thinking of putting some braded lines, but I dont think that would be enough.

Been looking into getting a fuel cut eliminator for my 2007 FZ1, has anyone got any opinions on whether to bother or not? Can you still get them? Are there any alternatives?


I'm thinking about it as it can be a bit skitty at the back when you re-apply the throttle while going round a bend.

I have been given a 20 year old Raligh prestige pioneer bike never used since brought, needs new  tyres and tubes the size is 28x 15/8 x 13/8 (700 x 35c ) the valve is a presta.

I am looking for the cheapest tyres I can find but dont want to end up with total useless rubbish that constantly picks up punctures or somthing. When I look on Halfords for 700x35C tubes I get a shreader valve hit for that size but for a presta valve I get 38-45c. The valve in it at the moment is a presta so I am guessing that the wheel is too thin to fit a shreader ? And will the 38-45c fit.
It may help to explain the riding I will be doing, mainly hard cycle paths (tarmac ), canal tracks a little road.

Any help and advice appreciated.

Thinking about buying one as space is bloomin tight on carb 3..


A few different ones on flea bay, anybody use one, or waste of time ??
