Hey peeps, a while back i got a really nice torque arm made up & i havent seen another one like it,so in true foccer fashion here's the details if you'd like one.lets try a couple o pics first though:-


The guys name is herb,he's a one man band so dont expect mega fast turnaround.


He can do the fazer infill writing in different colours.


If you tell him Fraser sent you he'll know what its all about, i did ask him and he's happy to do more.


His email is info@dustyherb.com


He doesnt have them on his website so he must not have marketed them very well,what better way than through here.


Cheers

Hi all!


I seem to have overseen this part of the forum. So to correct that, this is my belated introduction. I'm a 24-year-old engineering student from Finland. Bought my first big bike in August 2011, but been riding smaller ones since 2003. I own a '99 FZS 600 (originally red, nowadays white) and have done a heap of mods and services to it. It has 34 000 km on it and rides like a dream. Don't think I'll ever want to part with it.    I'm glad to help in any way I can and occasionally will be bugging you all for technical assistance, which I'll be forever grateful for.


Cheers!

I want to paint / powder coat my frame covers the same colour as the frame, can you use the bike with them off, I am at work and can't get to see the bike.

Are they just cosmetic.?

Yes today is the start of the drought , no rain until September  :eek

Anyone ever tried Maxxis Supermaxx Touring out before? I had a pair of the sport maxxis on my ZX9R and quite liked them, had a decent amount of grip in the dry, only issues I had is they wore very quicly, and I couldn't lean the bike over much in the wet due to the lack of tread on the sides!

Got a pair of the touring ones at the moment on my FZS 1000, and really haven't yet gelled with them. They don't really feel "bad" as such, but I don't really seem to be feeling much confidence in them at all, particularly on roundabouts (although that could also be up the more upright position too). Obviously where it's been wet and cold out I've not been trying out the front brakes particularly hard, but the rear has certainly been a fair bit easier to slide coming up to traffic lights than any previous bike/tyre combo I've had!

Main reason I'm not liking them at the moment though (can't tell if it's because of the cold, or the tyres) is because they are spinning up very easily under power. I've not been properly nailing it yet a lot, but even on dry roads if I give it about 1/2 to 3/4 throttle in first or second it'll quite often spin up, and although I'm getting a bit more used to it happening, it still makes me cack myself a tad when it does!

General consensus, crap tyre, or should I just properly adjust my riding habits and tiptoe everywhere until the sun comes back out properly?

Are there any specific tyres that come highly recommended for the FZS 1000? I've had both Bridgestone 023s and PR3s before and liked both of them, reckon the PR3s may have the edge as they felt a bit quicker to turn in, which on the FZS would probably be a good thing. That said, Bridgestone have got their new sport-touring compound out, so that could be interesting!

Hey guys,

Bit of a random question. My bike is an 02 plate foxeye. The tank has the word yamaha on the side of it (see picture) but from what I can see other foxeye's have the yamaha tuning fork logo instead. It also says in the "changes by year" thread that this changed when it became the foxeye. Has my bike got an aftermarket tank or is it just that some still had the word instead of the logo on them?

Apparently as a best customer if I spend £150 in the leeds store this Fri/Sat/Sun I will get a "free" £50 voucher (whatever that means).

Hi all!  Well its been a while since I was on here, in that time (about a year) I have sold my beloved fazer due to divorce and am now back looking for another for the summer, well as soon as my broken foot is better!  :\
