Had my fazer8 for a year now. Well chuffed now it has a loud can   
Not so happy about the rear shock. Not the lightest biker in the world! Anyone changed theirs yet? Any suggestions? Cheers.

Hi guys

so this has happened to me too. the nut and tab washer has come off, allowing my inner sprocket to damage the drive shaft (or something like that)

i went into my local ymaha dealer and after much too-ing and fro-ing they have come back to me saying that because i am still on the original chain and sprocket and theres no proof it has ever been tampered with (which as far as im aware it hasnt, even at 24000 miles) that yamaha will supply all the new parts and 11.5 hours labour out of 'courtesy' (not warrenty - they liked to make this clear)

now the garage is telling me that 11.5 hours is not enough time and they require 16 hours labour for the engine rebuild + consumables, and at dealership prices thats coming out at a £370 bill for me, though they estimated if yamaha didnt contribute it would be £1700!!

I just want to ask how many hours labout it has taken for anyone else to have the rebuild and if they had to part with any of their own cash because of it - to make sure they're not trying to fleece me to get something for themselves out of this.

cheers

The ignition switch on my 04 thou has come over all flaky, you have to faff around with the key to get it 'just so' so the bike will start. It's usually OK after that but can take a bit of doing to  get it going in the first place. I'm pretty good with electrics and stuff so don't mind having a go at taking it apart to try and sort it. Anyone know if this is a viable option. Doubt very much if I can afford a new one!

Not sure where to put this post, admin feel free to move.
I am looking to fit an extra hard drive into my home PC, running vista, and i would like the extra drive to act as extra storage for photos videos, music etc. I have had a look on the internet and picked up some advice but further advice on pitfalls what to look out for etc would be greatly appreciated.
thanks badger

..

just got one of these and am sort of happy with it apart from one major niggle. facebook and twitter work fine when i click on them from the app page but when i click on the internet (a blue earth) or google the display goes to about 30% light level and is just about unreadable. everything else works fine but this is getting to the point where i am going to send it back and carry on with my old iphone. the brightness is on max and is crystal clear till i try internet or google. please help :wall :wall :wall :wall

... you had no coolant left?

I had a carb heater hose come off the other week and I didn't notice at first. By the time I did things were a little hot, but there was no light.

I know on a lot of cars the thermometer is fitted in the thermostat housing or the block and with no coolant it doesn't read much.

I just did a search of the site for a method to replace wheel rear bearings but just unearthed a lot of posts describing them as a bitch/bastard/pain in ass etc.
Could anyone relate how best to do this? I have only a couple of hours at the weekend to get this done and don't want to get hung up on it and not have my bike ready for next week.
