Hi guy`s anyone know how to disconnect the abs sensor on the front wheel as im wanting to put some new hoops on

Well guys, I've had enough of riding around like i'm on ice, and decided I'm going to get rid of the tyres on my FZS1000 at the moment - some maxxis touring compound that seems ok in the dry, but can't handle what I'm trying to throw at it in the wet!

Want to go for something sports tourerish, I've had both the Pilot Road 3s and the Bt23s before and liked both, although I suspect the Michelins may help to speed up the steering a tad on the fazer as they felt like they had a more pointy profile, whereas the bridgestones seemed to roll into corners more.

Local tyre place fitted the michelins last time for £230 all in, which I didn't think was too bad. However, their prices have gone up a fair bit now, and i'm looking at about £285 for the set fitted, although there is a current discount of £30 for fitting from michelin themselves.
The BT23s are almost exactly the same price, £288 all in

Anyone know anywhere in the Leicester/Leicestershire based region that could likely beat those prices?

Other option, is if anyone is remotely near me and has the ability/time to fit and balance a pair of tyres, I could buy the tyres online, stick them on the bike and ride to you, bringing a couple cases of beer, or whatever form of compensation you'd like?

Hi Everyone, new to the forum so please be gentle. Back into biking after a foray into kit cars, great fun but not for me. Now have an 04 blue FZS1000. It has stubby can, hugger, adjustable leavers, well looked after. And loving it. Lets hope the sun shines soon so we can all get out and give it the beans.
:evil

First week in a month that I'm it on the bike and the weather is shit. 100 miles yesterday around the m25 in fig and rain and crap. Then 75 miles around west and north London in even worse weather that.

Worst of all dvla are bloody idiots. Went there to change number plates from one car to another as told it could be done there and then. Got there and they said wait 30 days! Wtf.

The other day Motorcycle News made the FZS600 their bike of the day, and the only bad thing they said about it was that the original downpipes rot away......just a couple of days before that, I'd noticed that mine were full of holes as shown below   


I also managed to shear off 3 of the studs while taking the downpipes off, has anyone got any advise about removing them? There is some stud sticking out of the engine still, im thinking of welding a nut to the top of them.

Motorcycles are only allowed in the bus lane in the centre of London (or outside operating hours or if sign painted on the road).  Correct ?


Newb question I'm afraid, just double checking my facts :-)


Just watched this clip on youtube (British Biker gets a ticket on purpose) and looked in the highway code and thought I'd query it.


Like I said, newb.

Looking to get a dark tint screen for my bike and came across this on ebay
http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Dark-Tint-Scre...484f190961

Has anyone on the forum bought one and if so what is the quality and fit like.

Thanks

Still for sale ,was damaged but repaired all luggs intact.£25

I bought a similar damaged one from e bay , repaired it lesiure then fitted it over a week end "So as not to have the fazer of the road"!
I have now repaired the original one ,which is now surplus .

As in title really, after something decent aftermarket wise for an FZS 1000, ideally something with a remote preload adjuster, and it has to be at least adjustable for individually rebound and compression, as well as the obvious preload. Ride height would also be a bonus.
