my other half before xmas acciedently due to cars in front suddenly stopping went into the back of the middle car(two cars in front her at the rear) due to the fact at the time i couldnt get to her quick enough to take her to the hospital i told her to phone for an abulance as she couldnt ride her scooter with a damaged hand and of course the police came, right over a month later she gets a standard  letter informing her that the police was going to prosecute or she could go on the 'DRIVERS AWARENESS COURSE' stateing she must pass or go to court but its the wrong one and shes a L rider being over 24 she does her cbt every 2 years and dosent have a full liecense so whats gonna happen ?

Right so I want to change my oil on the bike, I have everything I need. Oil, Filter and Crush washer.

What I want to know is how much oil do I use, what mm the drain bolt it and how I take off the filter without the proper tool.


Any advice welcome.

Love this

I have a few items up for grabs before they go on flea bay.

Genuine Yamaha FZS1000 Exhaust can, has covered approx 10k miles. Has a few marks from storage but nothing that wouldn't polish out.
Good condition as can be seen in photo. I'm asking £50 ono  + Postage or collection from Torbay area.



I also have a Genuine Yamaha Rack, in silver and in good condition.
I'm not really sure what this is actually worth as there don't seem to be any appearing for sale on ebay etc. so am asking £35 ono + Postage or collection from Torbay area.



PM for more info. If payment is to be paid via paypal then it would have to be sent as a "gift" as i'm not overly keen on picking up their fee's!

Afternoon Foccors,

I have taken the swing arm off for winter greasing... and thought it would look good polished!! as you do... But I am having major difficulty in removing the coating that is present. Does anyone know what the coating is? and has anyone done this to their 600 or given up and painted straight over the top? Is there a knack to removing the coating? I have tried Nitormors and I have been sanding for the last 4 hours and my fingers are showing bone!!

Many thanks in advance

Charlie

just got myself a fzs1000 loving it 

these are off a r1 so wont fit , i have removed centre stand and want something like this for my fzs1000 03 plate as i dont like the stands that just fit under the swingarm they mark it and move about a bit , anyone seen owt like this for the fazer

so give me your opinions/experineces on Z8's, M5's, PR3's etc.
route will be uk to rome solo with luggage (2days of motorway, 1000miles) then twisties back to france 2 up then a fast 500 miles back to le havre.
i like a tyre that drops in a bit, then is stable on it's side, but i also want at least 6k wear (so it's decent at 3k) and reasonable wet grip.
i would describe my riding style as 'makes progress at all opportunities'.
go on, amaze me.
previous bad experiences with conti road attacks, BT21's and a bit meh! about angels

Hope nobody minds me advertising this bike for a friend.
