Hi,


I've noticed that the front brakes have quite a bit of travel on them. Not impressed with the brakes really, so I'm guessing the pads need changing so I thought I'd check the pads (all ok so far) but for some reason, when slackening off the brake calliper bolts I put the socket on the bolt holding the brake hose banjo, I know I'm an idiot!  :'(


I only slackened it a small bit before I looked at what I was doing, tightened it back up and it seems fine (small amount of fluid leaked out, but level is fine). So first question is, is it likely that any air has got into the system and do I need to change / top up the fluid?


Second question is, do the pads have wear indicators on them? By the looks of the ones I've seen on wemoto here they have groves in them, well the ones on mine have no groves but look to still have a bit of depth left in them, are they past their useful life?


Thanks in advance for all the comments, even the ones calling me a dunce!

Looking to buy some new trousers soon, and will be considering leather as well as textile. I've never had leather ones in the past, and looking around on t'internet it seems that leather trousers are designed to be worn with the leg bottoms inside yer boots. No good for me, as I've got chunky calf muscles and there's definitely no room inside my boots for anything other than me.
Has anyone got any recommendations for any leather trousers which can be worn outside the boot and still look stylish?

hi guys would i do any harm to my bike by putting 100/90 watts bulbs in my headlights ? as i want better lights at night

Hello there focers!
Just a quick question!
Can somebody tell me how many turns out to unscrew the pilot air screw?
2 or 2,5??? my bike is an fzs 600 2001,with k&n air filter and danmoto carbon exhaust.
Thanks guys!

:eek So...... the apparent problem with the radiator fan that stopped the bike from starting has a completely different problem which will virtually scrap the bike. (Still have the problem with the radiator fan I guess)

The mechanic has found the problem- there is corrosion in the plug connecting to the ECU and two pins on the ECU have corroded away and are shorting out the other pins. This is a three year old bike that has done 8000 miles- not a winter hack!

Mechanic says I need a new CPU and possible plug but worse that that I need a new ignition barrel and new set of keys coded to the ECU and the whole bike coded to the ECU as this is the brain of the bike- Estimated cost approaching £2000

I dont have £2000 to spenjd on the bike and so would be grateful if anyone on here knows which years ECU's are compatible with my 2009 FZ6S2? I dont know if earlier versions or later vesions would be suitable and hopefully I can find one on EBAY as a set from a scrap donor bike.

The alternative seems to be scrapping my pride and joy and selling it off in bits (other than the ECU) and hope to make enough money to buy another bike

In the meantime- check under the tank to the rear near the shock absorber and see if any water has been getting in- not sure what to recommend then- unplug it and hope nothing breaks so you can vaseline the pins or leave it alone
