Hi guys going to do a tour over to Poland this year and its 2500 miles just there and back without any detours or ride outs , I would like a rear tyre to last until I get back home, so any recomendations? If its possible to get that out of a tyre, or will I have to get one over there?

Hi my bike is restricted and i can only get about 140 miles out of the tank as the light comes on around then. Every one on hear says you can do over 200 whats wrong with mine?  :\

Well guys, finally had my insurance payout come through, so looking to buy an FZS. Was just wondering if there was anyone in here that was thinking about selling? I've had a nose at all the colour schemes now and decided I can't live with either a yellow or a blue one - I don't like the colour blue for some reason, and I find the yellow one just too loud!
As said before in my wanted thread, the ideal colour scheme would be the black/red later models, but i also quite like the gunmetal grey of the later ones too. Would much prefer a black painted engined bike if possible . Also willing to pay more for extras that I'd be wanting on the bike anyway (aftermarket shock, fork work, ivanising and a topbox are the main priorities).
So, who's up for selling? 

Hello everyone,
Apologies for possibly a silly question... I have bought my first bike this week it's a 2001 fazer, gold, black and silver. As you can imagine its very addictive reading all the posts and reviews online about fazers. I have seen a few places showing the colours available in 2001 and mine isn't on them. Just for peace of mind a 51 plate fazer in hold silver and black is perfectly normal/ legitimate?
Cheers,
Will

I am looking to buy a rack and top box for my Fz1. I have removed the original mudguard and now have a tail tidy. I want a rack that looks neat and tidy . I have seen a Shad one on the Internet, but don't seem to get much sense out of the sellers. Does anyone know who else supplies these racks ? Also what other options to I have ?

Hello people,

Has anyone had an experience like the following?

Last night my son was stopped by the police on his 125. The reason given for stopping him was because he didn't have any 'L' plates on. Son explains to the copper that he has passed his test. Copper says he believes him but gives him a producer anyway (fair enough I thought)

He then looks around the bike. My son is told that his back tyre is illegal and is given a ticket that requires him to get the defect repaired (i.e. a new tyre) and get the ticket stamped by an MOT station, before sending off to the relevant authority. No gauge is used to decide it is below the legal limit, just a look under torch light.

Now I know his tyre wasn't illegal, because I only checked them for him at the weekend, but I went out tonight and check them again anyway. At the the lowest point of the tread, which is around the centre of the tyre, my gauge was reading 1.8-2.0 mm.

I know most people start to think about changing at this sort of tread depth, but the point is it wasn't down to the 1mm legal limit.

I'm assuming I could take it to a MOT station and get it checked and the ticket stamped, but how much hassle is that going to cause if he gets stopped and checked by the same officer again, who clearly will think he hasn't had an illegal tyre replaced, even though it wasn't illegal?

Must point out, my son said the officer was pleasant and chatting with him, and was a biker himself.

Hi guys, a mate of mine done this video in Japan with the legend..
New tyres for us to discuss and on one of the best bikes around? 

Enjoy.

Following up on several months of work by a few very dedicated people I am now able to let this one out of the bag for real [img alt=thumbs up width=25 height=18]http://fazer1000.yuku.com/domain/bypass/images/thumbsup.gif[/img].
All being well (I've not seen it myself yet) the February issue of SCUBA magazine (out about now) will run a page on Great Dives.
One of my 8.000 plus dives is the topic this month .. the bit should include an invite to a blog .. remarks, comments, questions welcome.
I just hope the mag 'editorial team' have not butchered things up too much .. as they so often find it necessary to do ? [img alt=scared width=18 height=18]http://fazer1000.yuku.com/domain/bypass/images/scared.gif[/img]

I guess not many of us buy this magazine .. so I'm putting this info out as an off topic post .. some of you just might find it interesting?

My uncle has a fazer1000 02, and he's having a knightmare with wind blast, he's changed the standard screen to a double bubble and not much better, what do you lot use? He doesn't want to go out and buy another screen and possibly wasting more money.
