Admins/Whoever (yes that means you)
Please can we have a sticky thread asking (prompting) people to put their approximate location in their profile for the member map ?


I'm sure there are loadsa foc'cers who haven't done it for privacy/security reasons (or something else) but even approximate locations are better than no location for badgering people via PM if they want to go on an informally arranged ride out :-)

Ps.  I apologise if this is just me and I'll living in a parallel dimension to all you people who don't agree.

As mentioned elsewhere, I'm planning on leading a rideout on Sunday which will include the A272 from Loomies (junction of A32 and A272) to Midhurst, however it seems there's a lot of tar-and-chip top dressing going on at the moment.

If anyone's been on the A272 today or yesterday, please can they let me know what state it's in so I can plan an alternative route if necessary.

Thanks.

I picked up a generic satnav with igo8 maps on it everything's great with it and I've just updated to 2013 maps ,but there's always a big but apart from the onboard route mapping I cannot seem to get a pc based route planner that the satnav will recognise.
I've got a folder igo8/content/userdata/route which is suppose to put the xml route file in but it won't work

any help please would be grateful

To be honest I dont know where to put this, so if the MODS can move it to the right place...

I’ve decided to go back down to a Fazer 600 as I test rode a mate’s recently and it’s more light and fun for a 5’4” girl like me than the heavy thou. I thought I’d advertise the thou cheap on here for a quick sale as it needs an MOT end of July and needs a few things doing to it (nothing mechanical, mainly cosmetic) and I thought a Foccer might like to do it themselves and sell it on for a profit. Otherwise it’s me paying a dealer to do it before I sell it, and I’d rather avoid the hassle.

Year: 2001 (Y-reg)
Mileage: 30k
Tax: Nov 2013
Former owners: 3
MOT: 25 July 2013

It already has 2 of the best mods you can do to a thou:
* Ivan’s slip on jet kit, fitted by our very own Foccer Mike Greatorex (Falcon 269). Improves low-mid range torque and power delivery, plus I think it’s made the bike less vibey.
* R6 shock fitted, significantly improves the handling as recommended by lots of the guys over in Fazer 1000 corner (see thread here: http://foc-u.co.uk/index.php/topic,151.0.html). Shock has only done about 1k miles. BUT I kept on the standard dog bones which has the effect of lowering the bike. Unless you're a shortarse like me you'll probably want to complete the mod and put the bike back to standard height by getting the specialised dog bones from devilsyam here on the forum, which he tells me are £40 delivered.

The bike is in overall excellent condition for age and has weathered well. The engine is sweet with no rattles, and I’ve never had a problem with the bike in the 2 years I’ve owned it. Apart from the mods mentioned above plus a fender extender the bike is standard.

What it needs:
* New back tyre. It’s square and approaching bald in the middle The local dealer told me it also needs a new front tyre, my Fazer thou-owning mate said it doesn’t and they were just trying to rip me off. I’ve taken a photo if that helps.
* New front mudguard. The front was snapped off while it was parked on the road, presumably by some idiot car driver who did not see fit to leave their details The local dealer has quoted me £100 to replace it, but maybe it’s possible do it cheaper yourself.
* The dealer also told me it’ll need new chain and sprockets for its MOT. Again, my mate says it doesn’t and they were just trying to make money out of me. I don’t know who’s right so I can only say what others have said.
* The choke broke literally a few days ago. I put it on and felt something ‘ping’, so I presume the cable has snapped?

There’s a few other cosmetic imperfections which I’ve tried to show in the photos, fairing cracks under both indicators which have been plastic welded but are noticeable if you look, a few chips to the fairing paintwork where it was dropped from standing in a gravelly car park.

I’m based near Loughborough in Leicestershire, or could also arrange collection from my mum’s in Heanor, Derbyshire if that helps. £1,700 ono.

Hi.

Hiya Guy's,
Could some one help me out please, I've changed the horn of my 2001 Fzs 600,the one I've put on is off a volksvagon golf, now what's concerning me ,Is that the golf horn might be drawing more power than the wiring harness can manage, I've used the horn with the lights on, with no dimming of the lights or different note from the engine.  Any help would be appreciated.
thanks
Rivett .  :\
