...Yamaha white plug on the left hand side of the fairing?

Had this issue with my 5PW R1 recently, it was in quite a state, then yesterday, about 1 minute after the bike having been fired up from cold, the cooling fan kicks off.

Obviously, no guage to go from, so I turn the bike off, get ready to ride off and re-start, 20 seconds later, no fan.

Wonder if it is just a crappy connection causing problems?

I haven't looked into it other than what it says in the manual about needing a non existant key identification number, but could anyone advise on getting new keys cut for my fzs600. It's a bit unnerving just having the one that came with the bike.

Reading thread re French Police got me thinking about speed and the use of......The message from government is usually along the lines of "Speed Kills" but surely its the inappropriate USE of speed that is a factor in many so called accidents? They are legislating for all of us and  because the AVERAGE standard of driving is poor as we witness daily from our position of increased vulnerability, those road users with above average abilities have to obey the same rules as everyone else.
If these guys choose to break the speed limit then they must be prepared to take the consequences if caught.
If speed kills then why would those in power consider raising the limit on our motorways to 80 when many accidents on these roads are due to poor lane discipline,lack of observation and tailgating-usually in lane 3?
I have no argument with speed in the right circumstances, but I can only think of a few car drivers that ive been a passenger with who ive felt safe with under all conditions-funnily enough they were all motorcyclists as well so THOUGHT and READ the ROAD like bikers have to!
If Im batting down the motorway @ 100plus in lane 3 and mr Magoo or the guy twiddling with his mobile pulls into my lane because he hasnt looked or failed to judge my approach speed am I going to blame him for his stupidity or accept that I played a part in the situation for making ASSUMPTIONS about others abilities/intentions?
If I get clocked by a speed camera (I did once & that was enough!) whose fault is that?
If we are intelligent beings surely we can find opportunities to  "make progress" without drawing attention to ourselves? and let the "boy racers" do trackdays to show us how good they are.

Always felt sorry Giggs hasn't got anyone to play football with in Euro or World Cup. Now without Giggs... disaster.  6-1 against not very strong or united Serbian team. It was a funny looking game, with the home crowd booing their team's goalie and calling the head of the FA a thief.

OK, bit of a noob, just got my Fazer 600 (2003 model) and big 16mm chain and anchor. However I'm struggling to find a decent place to thread the chain through the frame, rather than just the wheels. Where do you all put your chains? Or should I get myself a Pinch Pin?

Hi There,


Newbie with a 2002 Fazer,failed MOT,headlamps not working on high beam,but passing switch working,have checked main beam switch,seems ok,where abouts are the relays and any way of checking them?Thanks

Hey guys, i recently purchased a hornet 900cc but my circumstances have changed and i really need a faired bike for my motorway commute.


my bike :


It has a centre stand, arrow twin exhausts, heated grips, r&g bungs, scottoiler and hideous luminous yellow rim rape and a hideous scotland tank pad, moted until aprilThese pics are from the ad i purchased it from, I've only had it a few weeks but 30 miles each way in scottish winds is brutal on a naked bike.May even sell it on if i get what i paid for it at £2200


Looking for a good condition fz6, fz1 or sv650

The bike is a 2005, 11k, all standard, Ivanised by Falcon, mint condition and has been regularly serviced etc.

Starts fine when cold, but once warm even after a short run I have give it a handfull of throttle while its catching/trying and then after a second of that its catches properly and then brum brum etc.  If kill the engine and go to start it again it starts perfectly as it would when cold. I had this very same issue to the same or lesser degree on all my previous fzs1000's, so it could be just a case of living with it. But I'm kinda getting fed up with it and would like to get to bottom of it if possible.

Is there anything out of the ordinary that you lot can think of other than servicing the carbs..?
