Check out their home page today.

TL;DR - Broke down in dark and freezing rain for 2 hours for nothing, bike was trolling me. Read it and absorb my woe portayed in poor english and bad grammer  :lol .

I had checked engine coolant level on my bike the week before this and had topped it up right.

I had to take a trip on mid-day saturday from Wigan over the M62 to the north east.

It was piss wet all the way there and windy.

Anyway, I left to return the same day leaving at 5.30, still piss wet and windy all the way i must add, sheduled to get back to wigan for 8....

Untill on the M1 J45/J46 the farking temp light comes on telling me the coolant is too hot. I pull over turn it off, start bike back up after a bit and try again. Note I didnt mess about looking for stuff on it, it was freezing rain, pitch black and nutters wizzing past probably rubber necking, so pretty dangerous!

1 mile down the road later its back on, im like of fuck its fatal... pull up and call RAC. Stood a top a large muddy verge, pitch black, freezing rain.

RAC say will be 30 mins, will call me when 10 mins away. 1 hour later I ring them pissed off, WTF?, oh sorry whats up with it? tell them... only covered for rescue so they said they sub con'd the job out to a local place and they will bring water to help. 2 hours after Ringing RAC guy comes after missing me first time round, puts some water in the bottle and after bump starting the bike (PE lights and indicator left it flat) he followed me to the services.

So I check everything I can over and it seems ok.

Set off again with the 60 miles remaining, sticking to 50-60 as it was raining hard, and turning to snow at this point as I go over the penines, FOCCING LIGHT COMES BACK ON!!! but stranlgy the brightness of the light is eratic. Riding I hit the kill switch, leave a sec or two back on, I notice the light is now no longer there after a big pop and flame from the can . 2 miles later its back just to shit me up some more, try the on off trick this time no joy, lights going crazy now bright, dim, bright etc. I think ODD!! so I just keep it at 50 all the way home and it wasnt on so much, It was more fuck it if it blows up it blows up, i just wanna get home  :lol .


Tested the sensor today as per suggestion from christo and reference to haynes, the test concluded the sensor is at fault.

Rang the shop where I got it and its getting booked in on tuesday under warrenty.

foccing thing!

Hi to all from a farkin freezin St Annes on Sea .......


Bought my FZ6S2 Fazer (black one) about this time last year and figured I'd legitamise my lurking on this site.

looking for website that does girly boots for ladies, size 10 required, or just a cheap site for boots, any help appreciated.

Hi all - I know weight matched linear springs are the ideal set up in forks with modern cartridge damping - but and here's the question  ----


                                              ------ is it worth paying £40 over the cost of decent progressive springs (Halgon) for weight matched linear springs with the standard gen 1 forks and their very basic damping ?


I have seen the page on the upgraded damping mod - which is ace but I don't have that sort of money available.


I am more than a bit " Big Boned" ( I'm a 19 stone fat bastard) and know that standard springs are designed for the weight of my right leg!


I have also got some pre-load adjusters from an 01 set of forks to add to my forks.

My engine is looking quite tatty after winter, especially around the fins. Was thinking of respraying them when the weather's a bit better - can anybody recommend a paint that's a good colour match?

I was looking at this:

Just started getting random words on web pages underlined.
When I hover over them its an advert for random shite.


Using Chrome generally. Added AdBlocker but still same.
Been through task manager and control panel trying to find something the
kids may have installed.


Any ideas

been thinking about extra security for my silver thou , those of you with lesser coluored bikes wont need these extreme measures
