My bike is a bit light & twitchy at the front end at the higher speeds.
Was thinking about dropping the forks through the yokes 10mm.
Would this improve the front end stability and grip because of moving some more weight to the front?
I know doing this can make the bike turn quicker and lose some stability, but I wouldnt mind as long as i had a more planted front end.

Whats the best way to paint the engine to give it a freshing up?
Prefere using spray paint as would give the best finish, but can it be done well without stripping everything?

hi i just got a fazer 400 1986 model and need some new down pipes will the ones from a fazer 600 fit?

pref DB tinted but much anything considered ta.
except for flip tops... :'(

Can I ask what your thoughts are on changing the gearing, I am thinking of going down to 14t on the front and up to 52 rear.

What are your opinions on that and how far will the bike come up if I accelerated hard?

After a little altercation with a 4x4 that somebody waved out of a side junction on me I'm in need of a FZS1000 2005 (Gen 1) headlight unit.  Part Number 5LV-84310-10. I've repaired the old one for now with some flexible plastic and duck tape but don't know how long it will stay waterproof.  :lol


This is what mine looked like.



and post repair.

Hi all, went to go out for a spin today (nice Sunday afternoons are rare) and as I started the bike there is a rather loud ticking coming from the engine. Now my first thought was maybe the cam-chain tensioner, but I would have expected this to come on gradually, not to all of a sudden appear. After that I suspected something lose in the front sprocket area so removed the cover to find everything fine. After that I figured I would ask you guys before doing any potential damage It sounded as if it got a bit better when it warmed a little, but not significantly.

I am trying to find a fault with ma's home phone. If I call her phone, it rings once and disconnects, even though phone will show a timer as if it's connected. I have disconnected a second phone out of a socket upstairs. The main socket has a test socket inside, I've plugged directly into there, same problem. Southern say there is no fault on the line. Would this mean the fault is in wiring in the house? It worked perfectly before! I'm at a loss!
