i am looking for a standard chain gaurd for a gen 1 1000 the hugger is starting to look tatty, i think the standard gaurd would look ok on my bike.

ok ballanced the carbs today   first time so a good experience however the manual states vacuum readings of 23-25 but i was getting 18-19 on fast tick over :\  is this good or bad cus i havent a clue any help would be great

How do people deal with this, It seems to be my only hate about riding, ive tried a few differnt helmets and come to the coclusion that a real expensive one wont change things, I currently use a Caberg V2RR.
Ive used EAR foam plugs, (pretty good) and recently purchased some mould your own proguard plugs, I am not overly impressed though.
Has anyone ever modded the internals on thier helmet to reduce noise,
Any advice and opinions appreciated.
regards

I chain my bike to a ground anchor in a mc bay. The problem is, usually at least a couple of times a week somebody is letting their dog piss all over the chain and lock... which means it's a really unpleasant business unlocking my bike. It really really annoys me and unfortunately I've never caught them in the act. Happens on a regular basis. >: The only consolation is that there haven't been any solids as yet so it could be worse!

Don't really want to move my bike, can't move the chain or lock because of the ground anchor..... any suggestions about what to do? Any tricks? I was thinking that there could be an "anti-dog" product that I could put on the lock but I don't know if that sort of thing exists...

Wanted- speedo drive for fazer 600 T reg

the speedo needle does not move , but tacho/lights are all ok
how can i check what part is the problem?

My new exhaust arrived today and the other bits will be here later, engine case by the end of the week! I should be back on the Fazer by the weekend.

All I gotta do then is clean the beast and touch up a few bits of flakey paint with the couple of weeks off I'm getting later in the month!

Hi,

I’ve been riding my 2002 fzs600 for 4 years and decided to get my self a 2005 r6.  I’ve not picked it up yet but am keeping the FZS for now, as its been a fantastic bike but due to me crashing it in the first year of owning it and fixing it myself, its still got some battle scars so would get pennies for what is still a fantastic mechanically sound bike.

What’s your guys experience of an r6 against the fzs600.  Things I’m expecting:

To be gutless for majority of rev range but kick in with lots of power when you scream it.
Nippier handling.
To be lower and more uncomfortable than the Fazer after some time in the saddle.

What other +’s and –‘s am I missing out here.  Expecting an obvious Fazer bias here but hit me with it non the less.

Insurance is fine, I’ve got that covered.  I don’t tour,  I’m a bit of a weekend warrior + very occasional commute tbh.

I've not got my bike at work today, and I'm trying to come up with a design for a turntable to faciliate getting the bike in and out of the garage.

I don't suppose someone knows (of can quickly measure) the centre stand width?

Thanks

I enjoyed this youtube video, made me feel a bit happier.
