Not recommended for hot exhausts..............  http://www.poundland.co.uk/product-range...y-shelter/

Had a throttle cable snap on my 04 16,000 miler the other day (9.45pm, middle of deepest darkest Wales), which was a bit of a shock as I've never had a problem with any of the 3 gen 1's I've owned up to now.

I definately sit on the mechanically inept side of the do-you-own maintenance fence, but sourced a new cable, took the tank off and was confronted by a mass of cables, pipes etc and when consulting the Haynes manual, they say to replace the cables I have to 'displace' the carbs?

Is this a hard job, and do the carbs need any special setting-up once they been 'displaced' and new cables fitted? I'm thinking of letting a 'professional' do it for me, but wondered if anybody here had any views?

i'm sure there is an easy way of doing this, but my brain won't work today for some reason !
tips please

Hi, so I left the Fazer in for a service (gonna be a sore one). Two tyres, chain and sprockets and front pads at least


They offered me a Deauville or a Honda PCX. I wanted the smallest one so took the PCX. Nice little bike I gotta say. Got that engine cut out at traffic lights thing too, economical.


Anyway, leaving my local town in a 30 zone past the local high school and sitting around 30-35 two cars passed me.


Now I do tend to stick quite close speed limits in the 30, 40 and 50 zones even on the Fazer but that is the first time I have been passed here. Is it because I was riding a scooter?

HELLO THIS BIKE IS SOLD

Sure, there's the argument that you should be able to stop in the distance you can see, but I kinda think that should apply to stuff moving in the same direction as you, or stuff that is stationary as you come round the bend - if somethings travelling the opposite direction, shouldn't you reasonably be able to expect that it will maintain its own legal road position? If the truck cant get round the bend alll on its side of the road, thats his responsiblity??

Another "too nice to be true" rock star has let himself down - Mick Hucknell has been arrested for shagging a rabbit. When he was interviewed about his crime he just said that he'd been "Holding back the ears" and that "Bunny was too tight to mention"...

I'll get me coat...
