Set of nice silver bar clamps, with all hardware to fit a Gen 1 1000, probably fit all the others too.

They are Triumph Speed Triple / Tiger 1050 items.

Looking for £30 + P&P if anyone fancies, pm me I will email a few pics.

This isn't one for the "I don't use ear plugs" crowd :-).

The earplugs I have are okay, but I'm looking for something better. I figure that whilst I look it's good to future proof.

Any input on moulded ear plugs (reviews, opinions, brands)

Also interested in ones with actual headphones in and/or bluetooth..

Advice?
Cheers

1st time poster so Hello.


I have not needed to replace my Exup cables on my Fazer to date so cant backup with pics etc but hopefully my verbal (mis)directions may make sense.


I have done this in the past with other exup systems on the yamaha in the late 80's and on into the 90's.  The exup cables have always been hard on the wallet or maybe I'm just tight...


As we know it's the inners that fail 1st most times and this fix counts on the outers being in good order for re-use, but you can get away with one if need be and just use a generic outer sleeve on the other.


So you have a good set of outers with the inners removed.
Next you want the inner cable either from venhills etc or a good quality cycle shop and four solder-less nipples minimum. I can and do loose them so more is good and you may decide to make all the ends solder-less.


So far it looks like the usual fix but there is one difference you only use ONE inner cable so make sure it's long enough, I would guess in excess of 2 meters.


Thread in the inner cable from the servo and through the sleeve down towards the exup, have the two solder-less nipples in place ready to thread the inner through, a bit fiddly but not too much just keep the end of the cable snag free.  Dont tighten the nipples yet.


After negotiating the exup return back up to the servo via the vacant(bit like me sometimes) sleeve and onto the solder-less nipple at the servo.


Ensure the outer sleeves have some adjustment in them and pull gently on the inner cable to tension before securing the solder-less nipple at the servo and trimming the wire to suit.


Remembering the unsecured solder-less nipples at the exup setup the valve as per Yamaha's instructions and then secure the nipples, that's me waffling as I dont know the setup procedure.

I do it this way as I went thought the hassle of failing cables both Yamaha and made up and this proved to be the best solution for me, the load on the cables (cable) is reduced and I've even got away with one solder-less nipple at the bottom in the past.  told you I lose them....

As ever be safe when working on your bike, robotic arms are good for being safe.

I'll edit any bloopers (maybe)

Let it not be said that I am not a man of my word!

Those who know Bozboz's bike will know it is more than a tad scruffy. As I also ride a black FZS600, I've given him a lot of tongue-in-cheek quips about it.

Karma has a sense of humour.

On the M20 earlier today, my left inner fairing panel decided to detach. It had nearly fallen out completely, so I retrieved it quickly, nearly decapitating Dead_Eye in the process. I then cut him up pretty badly on the slip road as I stuffed the panel in my tank bag.

As it is my bike, not Bozboz's bike that is falling to pieces, I owe him a public apology for all the stick I've given him. You still need to clean it though!!  :lol

Long time lurker and it's Sunday evening, tinker too much sometimes but always have backup


The most stable topbox in the know universe....possibly.


Off the the Fazer 1000 section to give my take on the eternal EXUP cable conundrum, It's a little fiddly but quite durable.

I went on a IAM check ride today, and all went well. A couple of things he mentioned to help improve my smoothness was clutchless gear changes.
I know this was mentioned before but can't remember where.
He was saying use the clutch on 1,2,3 up changes, on 4th put a little pressure on the gear lever and then you can use less clutch when you go to change, thats fine as i would still be using the clutch. But on 5 and 6th up changes he said he doesn't use the clutch at all.
Is this ok with our gear boxes, because they are quite clunky at the best of times. Its and 02 600.
On all down changes he said use the clutch at all times.
I just want to know if this is ok on the gear box, NOT whether it is an appropriate thing to do in every day riding.
Cheers
Nick
