anyone got one in good condition that isn't bent ? thanks

Got a big trip coming up, probably 2000 miles. I'm putting a new rear on but I'm unsure about the front. It is a Bridgestone Battlax BT020, I don't know what the current mileage on it is.
It has about 1mm to go on wear indicators. Tread depth is 2mm in centre, 3mm one third from centre and 3.5mm two thirds from centre.
I believe tread depth is 4mm all round new, total life expectancy is about 10k miles so by my logic I should be able to get another 2k out of it ok?

i had my forks done £300. now i gota do the rear end. the price nearly makes me want to  cry. where is the best place and price to get a new shock for the rear.

how about doing facebook page 

slinky glide clutch cable. i bought it new and fitted it recently, but after only 300 miles bit the bullet and bought a genuine yamaha cable.

i don't rate it very highly, but if somebody wants it i'll post it for free. otherwise it's another landfil item.

hi all.......stopped at a tea wagon just outside oxford the other day and got talking to a local biker....and he said that cassington bike night is back on....no-go last year....fantastic event on the last monday in june....been going for a number of years now.....anyone going 

Anyone know if my fazer needs sidelights to pass mot ??  Don't think they've ever worked since i've had the bike and this is the first mot i'm giving her.. I have working headlights ( low & High beam ) And there's obviosly no parking lights involved so in my opinion I don't see why I should need them but obviously I don't have a clue :/


Any Ideas ??

Does anybody know what the reference numbers are for the front side light bulbs. I have a Gen 1 and can confirm they are the push fit type. Thanks

On startup my downpipes 3 & 4 seem to heat up ALOT faster than 1 & 2 i can't hear any blowing of any sort and i've only recently changed the plugs.

Is this normal or would it suggest carbs balanced? Bike runs find and seems to jump 100-200rpm on idle.

Well not long since back from an epic journey starting with a 24 hrs ferry to Santander, south past Madrid to Torrevieja (mates villa) up through the Pyrenees, France where l just had to call in on the 24hr LeMans circuit. You could feel the motorsport heritage there but l didn t have a lot of time spare as l continued north to Saint Lo northern France to visit my aunt/uncle, a few days later its the ferry home Cherbourg to Poole for a 300 mile trip north to Manchester  :eek Still the old Hornet went well, clocking up around 2300miles taking it to 63000 miles now. Seems to be dealing with age better than me !  :lol
