Hellooo good people (and the bad ones)
On Sunday I had another (last one two weeks ago) rear wheel slide, this one a scary one still dont know how I got through it, I needed a dab with the foot, I knew those years of enduro racing would come in one day.
Ive got metzler M5's fitted and they have been ace, They still have good profile, good tread, no flat spot, correct pressures and only 1100 miles on them??? But wat else can it be? Im pretty front end heavy always have been.
Ive changed nothing and only got 4200 miles on the clock so shouldnt be suspension wear yet, I set the sag before second ride but apart from that bog standard.
My gut says change tyres but I could be throwing money away.
Offered for sale my Gen 1 Black Fazer 1000. 37000ish miles, taxed and just tested. Has Scott Oiler fitted, Mint standard can, Ivans Jet kit, Givi rack and top plate for Monokey top box, Good tyres, chain and sprockets, R6 gear linkage mod, R6 Rear shock and dog bones fitted, Baglux tank cover in black, toolkit present and correct, front R and G crash bungs, NRC engine covers left and right, carbon fender extender, Puig rcarbon look Rear Hugger also fitted. optimate lead fitted.Three issues - a small off last year damageed the tank and fairing on the right. Tank has a small dent while the fairing has a scuff on the same side and a hole where the plastic ground through. No missing parts, damaged lugs etc.
Right inner fairing has broken at the two mounting points at the tank end through vibration, I assume. Other than that the bike is in good condition and is used daily.
Employment change means a commuter is not needed so offered for sale. Bike registered in my name at my address, hand book etc all present. £1450 ovno

I belonged to this forum, eons ago, about 8 years and had a gold and black fazer 600. Sold that and after several other bikes am thinking of returning to the fold.
After yesterdays ride came home to find i had lost a crashbung an the enginemounting bolt ( on of the longer one) anyone have a bolt laying around an maybe a set of crashbungs.
got the bike and am starting to do more every day. only thing is,i know i should wear a cycle helmet but i just can't bring myself to wear one. i look a complete twat in a cycle helmet :lol . plus they only protect the top of my head! what about the sides and my pretty face? i have a BELL helmet but can't bring myself to wear it. i will have to start going out after dark till i get used to it. im not the coolest looking bloke by any means but these things are just shocking! anybody who puts one on and thinks "oh yeah,cooking with gas now" needs medication :biker
Hi all, me and a mate did an epic 577 mile round trip from scotland to collect our gen 1 fazer 1000s from the scottish borders to rochdale then from rochdale down to cannock to collect mine, they are both 05 models, but on inspection on one of our coffee stops we noticed a few differences, my one a blue one with black engine had different switchgear on the left handlebar my mate budgies had a hazard warning button and a headlamp flasher unit where mine does,nt have this, it only has the headlamp high beam switch and the horn on it,
Following a recent post about a really snatchy throttle response on my '10 Plate Gen 2 my local dealer suggested it could be the TPS.
Looking online the comments are that the closed TPS setting should be between 15-18. I stuck the bike into diagnostic mode and mine is sitting at 16.
Is this ok?
Seems to be within tolerances but should it not be higher?
on the theme of trackdays, anyone here enter the bennetts trackday comp on faceache.
well as someone who can fall in a barrel of tits and come out sucking my thumb, i only went and won a place at Oulton park

unfortunately i'm away with work that week and have no chance of changing it :'( :'( :'( :'( :'( :'( :'( :'(
For the first time ever, I was asked to remove my helmet at a petrol station. I was halfway through fuelling when I feintly heard the call over the tannoy, so I just ignored it and carried on. When I went inside (Texaco station on Garstang Rd, Preston), there was a long queue, so before I reached the tills, another biker had arrived and he was told to remove his helmet (which he did).
When I got to the till, I was told in no uncertain terms, by one of the three assistants, that the next time I come to the station, I must remove my helmet. Why? I asked. He explained that I must remove my helmet for security reasons to make my face visible and identifiable. Okay, that's fine I said. But if I was a lady wearing a burka, would you make me remove that?
He squirmed and shrugged his shoulders and explained to me that he didn't make the rules. If I don't remove helmet next time, he'll not activate the pump. I explained to him that I won't be returning to the station again anyway!
I wasn't trying to be arsy about it, but FFS, I wasn't a young hoodie on a feckin stolen scooter! And if a rule applies to one, then it should apply to all, or it is discriminatory!
