As im going to Germany nxt week i thought id treat myself to some tyres and so brought a set of these METZELER ROADTEC Z8 INTERACT at a good price, and just wondered if anyone has tried these at all.

Is it normal to have to give a tiny bit of throttle when starting from cold? She starts no problem when warm but needs just a blip of throttle to get it working by itself when cold.

Why commuting by motorcycle is good for everyone.

Quote:Motorcycle riders don’t just save themselves time and money, they do the same for car drivers, and they also help to reduce the emissions of cars.

Anybody got one ?
Thinking of getting an early 1989 or 1990 model as I wanted one in the early nineties but could'nt afford one then.
Anything to look out for other than there thirst for oil ?
Ta, chitsu.

Hi all, new to the site, only been a FZS 600 owner for a short time, 9 months in fact. Bike is a mint Y reg, 10k mileage and no problems up to now.

I have no idea how long the battery has been on the bike and sort of guessed it may be shot after the winter. I charged it up and the bike ran fine but then it went flat again after standing for a fortnight. It was then charged up and I went to the local battery expert shop who has all the testing gear, although I was a bit dubious he was more car expert than bike! He reckons the battery is okay but after riding for 1 mile and doing the ten minute test (starting the bike around 5 /6 times, it would then not turn the starter and I had to jump it?!

I am a bit confused really at how quickly the battery power was lost. My old FZR 1000 would still turn over and start if I didn`t use it for months and could easily start up for numerous times in a ten minute period. Here are my questions I hope I can get answers to.

1, The bike is fitted with a immobiliser, how long would it take for this to drain the battery if not used?
2, If the battery is okay, will it be the generator or how do I know if the regulator/rectifier is also okay?
3, I have heard the charging system on the earlier bikes is not too clever anyway , is this correct?

I would really appreciate any help experienced owners could give. I`ll happily spend money to sort it, just don`t want to get the wrong replacement parts :rolleyes .

I have a small leak coming from the top nut of my left fork and its an expensive part.


I'm therefore on the hunt for a replacement fork.


If anyone is breaking a fazer 1000 then please let me know.

Blue with silver engine. Mint bike, 2300 miles. Stored in heated garage. Will have new MOT. Currently on SORN. A few subtle extras, Yam belly pan, Ivanised, R1 lever mod, GTR risers. Pm for pictures. £4100 ovno

Well my bike passed the mot test this week, in fact I haven't had a bike fail (although I do check them over) unlike cars I've had maybe only 50% to 75% pass rate, the car failed on emissions this time due to exhaust leaking.

What is your pass rate????????
