Did it. Finaly. Some country dusty road, had a hidden hole, front wheel in, down in no time. Fucked up fairings. All the medal holders bent, while fairings themselves are just scratched. Plastic thingies that hold fairings to the metal are almost all broken.

Managed to lift it up by myself. Now I know it's not too heavy for me. Managed to get it fixed, started and going home. Since fairings were already fucked up, I was so relaxed and managed to finally scrub the rer tyre to the end (no more chicken stripes). Serbian roads are very slippery (tyres last long, but bad for cornering stability).

Oh, knee took most of the fall, but nothing broken. Running, riding bicycle.


Now I'm just pissed for it's a bother to find spare parts and good grease monkeys round these parts for things I can't do myself. Fuck!

Hi all, Just signed up after a few weeks lurking. Got my first ever bike about 4 weeks ago on the day I passed my mod 2, it's a 2005 FZ6 Fazer in black, even with the weather and work have so far managed to cover 600+ miles and loving it.

Will gets some photo's up later.

Hi all,


I've just joined the Fazer family with a cosmetically challenged 600. It's a cat D insurance job but has some nice extras and no major problems but a few bits that need sorting. One of my main reason for the Fazer is because I wanted something I could use and enjoy daily along with taking part in Motogymkhana. I've been using my SV650 till now but after trying it on a Fazer I decided it was time for a change. So the Fazer is now sat in the garage next to my FJ1200 and the SV will be looking for a new home shortly.


Cheers
Tony

Hi guys,


Got my MOD 2 test on Tuesday this week, I've been learning on an ER6n, which  has a really long (bordering on ridiculous) throw from 3rd down to 2nd and 2nd to 1st, I've got used to it but the method I use takes a little longer hence my question;


Example of a 40mph zone, travelling along in 6th gear, approaching a junction / red light.


Is it acceptable to down-shift before breaking if approaching a junction / sequential change down a couple of gears and then just knock it down the gears from say 4th to first without engaging the clutch if you know you have to stop. (does that make sense!?)


The alternative is to use a lower gear (4th / 5th) to enable me to have enough time to get down through the gears sequentially while using the engine braking.


(by sequential I mean - down a gear - engage clutch to bite point - down a gear - engage to bite point - etc as opposed to clutch in, down all gears while coasting up to the stopping point with the clutch disengaged)


I'm pretty much confident of everything else, and would be 100% happy if I had a better gear box! but its too close to my test date to swap the bike really...


Thanks in advance for all the helpful / piss taking responses to my clearly green riding skills!!

Hello,


I bought this rear hugger off ebay sometime last year and it has been sitting around collecting dust so its time to sell it.
It has never been fitted to my bike as it was advertised wrong, it will not fit the 2002-2003 bike.


It has was fitted to the previous owners bike so this is not a new item but its not far off.
The previous owner had just got the bike and removed it as it was not to his taste.
There are several minor marks, so minor they dont show on the photos, and a couple of bigger marks I have shown below.


If this fit my bike I would be happy have it on there, once its on you would never notice the marks.








The only damage is here where the plastic has been squashed a little and split (its only split at the edge) this is easily cured and hidden with a suitable washer.
Tbh I would fit it with washers anyway to spread the load.





The other big mark is this which seems to be muck stuck to a bit of glue left behind by a sticker. Its hidden by the rear brake hose guide bracket thingy anyways.








As you can see I gave the hugger a good clean prior to attempting to fit it.












Here is the manufacturers website for a couple more pics and info etc.http://www.simpson-detour.co.uk/shopitem...2&OCT_ID=9




I bought this for £55 and would like £55 for it. You are welcome to collect or I can post at extra cost to the buyer.
New this would be £75 so grab a bargain 


I'm happy to answer any questions.
