I had a low speed off last year coming back through france ( They like the gravel on the roads)
seven months on and I still have not been able to buy the fairing decal I need
Any Ideas, its a US imported Gen 2 so not able to source through local dealers

After reading Pitternators tale of woe and subsiquent descriptions of his suspension behavior I was trying to understand mine yesterday.
My current conclusions are that the front seems to feel like it's jarring my arms when hitting a bump and the rear seems to ride a bump ok but tries to throw me out of the saddle a little after the initial bump.
When giving it the beans over a particulaly bumpy stretch the steering was everywhere and I wasn't in control. I was being thrown about all over the place and had to back off pretty quick befor being possibly thrown off.
I know static sag is my first port of call. I did stiffen the preload, both front and rear when I got the bike, so thats not standard.
What measurement of sag should I be aiming for and where should I start adjusting for my above findings?

I've just suffered my 3rd puncture in 6 months and it's beginning to piss me off now! It's my second new rear tyre on the Fazer and the tyre's only done 400 miles. The previous tyre had only done 2000 miles and had been repaired once already so I got it changed to be on the safe side.

My question is: Is there a solution to a recurring expensive problem like this (other than commuting to work using the underground!!) such as using inner tubes within the tyres or are there any tyres which are more robust to punctures than others?

Also - how safe are repaired tyres (provided that the puncture is central on the tread) and will it affect the maximum speed on the tyre?

Greetings all from a forum lurker...

I've been looking for a Fazer since I passed my DAS course a month ago and it looks like the search is finally over.

Just bought a Silver (always the fastest ) '03 Fzs 600, Scottoiler, heated grips, Givi top box and rack, tank bag, double bubble screen, Fuel end can, 36k miles on the clock (all from a single owner) for a shade over £1,200 and I couldn't be more excited - and a little nervous :eek .

I feel sorry for my pushbike...she's going to miss the streets of north London!

Was gonna do foot peg mod to my fz1 but got hold of a set of rearsets so selling as no longer needed i have 2 sets one silver one blue any offers?

I hope my eldest sorts his test out before the end of this year or he will have to wait another year before he can try!

Thinking of going over to the Black Forest in September and looking for tips...

I'm looking at riding the B 500, has anyone had any experiance and pointers for campsites etc? All I've seen bikerwise is the Pension William which gets glowing reviews.

All help gratefully received!
