Just had an MOT ,I have a round trip of 150 miles to my nearest bike MOT station ( top end of isle of skye to lochcarron) im probably not the farthest traveled. Any one else have to do a long distance MOT.

Hey,


The previous owner of my bike decide to hack the back rear fender section of the bike so that when a small plate was attached it looked better, this has not helped when out on the bike in the wet


I have seen this, i thought the rear fender was a whole unit, would be a bit of a pain to replace, but if this is really for a FZS600 and would fit it seems it might help with spray.


Thoughts

Just passed my MOT with no advisories - which is good - but they did pick up that the frame number is different from the one on record at DVLA - seems that the number has been misread at every previous MOT - the one zero does look like a six - but is is a zero - definitely has not had a new frame so 0 out of ten for observation for the last ten mots!


Daft thing is that the mechanic who picked it up also did the last 4 MOTs!

hi all a mate of mine has sold his fazer he has  a gel set for sale he is looking for £50 for it pm me for his contact details

Hi all
I am having problems getting my 05 fz6-s to maintain idle speed, After 100mile or so of constant riding the bikes idle speed will drop below 1000rpm and twice has falling well below 1000rpm and stalled
If i adjust the idle speed back upto 1300ish the bike runs fine for another 100 mile or so then the same thing happens again
Has anyone any idea as to what could be causing this???????

Bit of advise please guys.
I was cleaning my chain and sprockets tonight,  i took off the cover to front sprocket and cleaned up loads of crud, i then inspected the front sprocket the teeth are very slightly shark fin shaped, :\ chain is in good condition as is the back sprocket. the bike has done 16000 miles. I am off to Normandy on it at the end of the month so was hoping to have another 1000 miles on this chain and sprockets and change them after the trip. What do you think guys ?

It's been mentioned a few times in 'Ivanising' threads that I had plans to make trip with the toolkit in May.  Family things and work have conspired against that but I think I can slot in a trip early in June.

Provisional dates are Friday 14th June - Monday 17th June.

I have around 6 names so far.  I need to work on at least 10 bikes, though, to make it worthwhile travelling over. 

If you'd like more information, please drop me a line direct (mikegreatorexAThotmail.com) and I'll tell you all you need to know (and probably loads you didn't ) by return.

Cheers!

Mike

So er...exactly how important are the rear brake caliper shims (they clip onto the back of the pads), i've been cleaning my rear brake, thought i'd misplaced them then realised the bike never came with any, they're £6.23+vat each so not too bad, but are they actually needed?

It's that time of year :-(
