i had my forks done one year ago at mtc. it felt great at first. new oil and springs. also  cut down a bit for better cornering. now it wants to bottom out. no leaks. is this something that needs to be done each year.

Just had the carb/vacum sync done on sunday set it at 20 with four bar carbtune just had one that was four levels out and a couple with 2 bars reset ,now it seems to run a bit smoother not as much buzzing around 6-7 thou and i can see through my wing mirrors at 80mph, seems weird feels more powerful  [img alt=:eek]http://foc-u.co.uk/Smileys/efocicon/shocked.gif[/img]

Replaced the plugs on my FZ1 a couple of weeks ago (mission!!) and the plug from cylinder 1 was white? What could have caused that then?

Noticed that the bike was running rich and have since had a custom fuel map built and installed onto my PC3 to sort that but clueless as to this white plug??

Hi all, just wanted to share this with you guys to show even the professionals get it wrong sometimes..
This training school is 5 minutes from my door so kinda hit home to me.

My thoughts are with his family. rest in peace

Anyone got a set of engine bars for an FZS1000?

Condition isn't important, but they have to be 'mostly' straight and not scuffed up too badly.

ta.

So they say so

Biker Down ..... essential first aid course sponsored by Powys County Council

To train you in the first bike on the scene first aid. Hopefully we will never need this training but it has to be vital to know how to help a fellow biker if the  worst happens on a ride out- or even if you are in your car and come across a fellow biker after an accident.

There will be no charge for the course and it will be open to anyone, not just Powys residents. The organisers can take about 20 on each course, this is only down to everyone being able to practice the first aid or we'd take more.

The ambition is to run two courses a month, depending on the appetite for it, spread between Newtown, Llandod and Brecon Fire Stations and if a group wanted a course run specifically for them then they would be more than happy to accomodate it.

Check out www.facebook.com/bikerdownpowys and sign up for the course so they can let you know what the dates of the courses are which should start sometime in October this year........ and tell all your biker mates

Had my 03 Fazer for a few months now & been using it daily in all weather. A few times it has struggled to start - it  sometimes seems like the battery is low as the neutral light dims when turning over, but has always started after a few turns. Then next day everything would be back to normal.

Today it won't start at all. It turns over a few times then stops, as a buzzing noise comes from somewhere near the battery.

I'm guessing it may be some sort of electrical issue stemming from the summer monsoons. I'm not good with electrics, not even slightly. Anyone else had any similar problems? Any suggestions welcome. I have a can of WD40 ready, but not sure where to aim it!
