When fitting an aftermarket can & link pipe to my gen 2 fz1-n, apart from removing the exup cables do I have to get rid of the cat as well?  :rolleyes

Can anyone recommend a decent insurance company at a reasonable price, my renewal is soon to be up on my 2011 fz1-n, ive been getting quotes from around £130 up to £220 fully comp, but with a massive excess.(I'm 39 with a clean licence!) Is there a Yamaha Owners club discount or something similar?  :rolleyes

bike passed mot and no mention of the play in the rear suspension linkage ,,happy
cheers

£21 to change bikes (03 £3k CBR600RR -to- 02 £1700 FZS600).  I thought it would be a lot worse as my terms and conditions state a £25 fee, then I thought they would take the p1ss on the premium.  I guess I got a £4 refund, which took the fee down to £21.

Does anyone know where I can buy a touring screen for my fazer 600. It in on a 56 plate and was registered in 2007 so not sure if I need one for  2006 or 2007 model (am new to all this sorry).  Can anybody help me please?

Somewhere NOT to go  :'(

A guy on another forum I'm on set out on a rideout into Wiltshire. Went into The Barge Inn at Honeystreet where the manager was a rude, unfriendly anti biker tosspot. Nice pub, Just a shame about the ar**ehole that runs it. (his words as I never been there) 33 bikes was not an avalanche. They were forewarned a few hours before there arrival by one of the guys who got there earlier that there would be a group of bikers maybe 25-30 strong heading over ..It's a Lottery funded pub so they don't really give a f**k about making any money and treating customers with respect.
One miserable local even complained to one of our Road Marshals that "you bikers" are to noisy and spoiling the peace and that he was going home.
He said being scowled at when you enter the bar and then being told “you could have told us you were coming" is not the way to run a business and even more shocking is to then go to a table of people and apologise to them because "these bikers" are here, is a disgrace.. The Barge Inn. some nice reviews are now on their way to every bike forum in the UK and every Pub Guide in Britain


Somewhere TO to go 
20 of them returned to the Huntsman Inn at Falfield where Kay the Landlady promptly opened up for them and served them piping hot plates of Roast spuds in Onion gravy along with honey roasted parsnips. All free of charge.  :eek Now that's how to run a business. Top marks to The Huntsman Inn....

The last time I used this site a lot (2002 - 08) a day didn't go by without Matty spouting some kind of drivel.


What became of him then?


I fully expect the answer to be he's serving time for knobbing a coppers underage daughter, or he wiped himself out  (and probably another Foccer as well) by being dim?


To his credit he did seem to understand Gyroscopic Precession and it's role in counter-steering a motorcycle.

Hi all,


I've recently installed a Motad venom exhaust (downpipes/linkpipe/silencer combo), but the gap between the link pipe and silencer blows.  Link pipe to collectors seem fine.


I've not used any sealant in the assembly and have seen firegum mentioned a lot - but not everyone seems to like it.  For example, water collecting in the join washes it out when trying to cure it.


Interested to know what you guys have used in the past with success.


Cheers,


EdC
