I have noticed when I've been out on the bike for a blast and I check the wear on the edge of the tyres, to see how heroic I've been, the rear tyre always gets close to the edge of the tread and the front still has a good inch to go. Is this because the bike is currently biased to the rear on the suspension (or seems to be) or is it down to my riding style on the Fazer? My CBR6 used to scrub the tyres fairly equally with a slight bias towards the front. I have found myself using the power of the bike to punch out of the corners, whereas on the CBR I was carrying more corner speed. Any thoughts? Anyone else found this issue on their bikes? Any suggestions on rectifying this minor but strange issue?

My bike is parked outside all the time, not always covered, its parked near my door so I regularly walk past it. I've noticed just recently a strong smell of petrol when passing the bike and then this morning I noticed a small damp patch under the bike. When I smelt it it was definately petrol. Its dripping very slightly from, I presume, the carb drain pipes. Any ideas on whats causing this and is it possible to turn the petrol off, as I've never seen the fuel tap, I know it has one somewhere! Any clues please

Any know much about powder coating?I have had bits done before like brackets, wheels etc but my engine cases are starting to peel and as I am about to powder coat my givi rack I wondered how well it would hold on engine cases.

this has probably been done to death but i have treid searching but cannot find the answer i am looking for
so here goes.
i was out on the bike today and some of the roads were fairly bumpy anyway the back end of the bike seemed to wallow and was not very inspiring. the spring is set on the highest preload but one. the front end feels fine.
I am not the fastest or best rider and weight about 12 stone
so i am considering a rear shock change I am looking for a budget solution
i have seen mention of a 1000 fazer rear shock fitting a 600 but how hard is it and does it alter the ride height
also i have heard of an r6 shock on a 1000 fazer - so will an R6 shock fit a 600 fazer
or should i just accept that i cant ride for toffee
thanks in advance
thanks in advance

Got a '99 FZS600. Can't find out which mirrors from another bike fit into the capped off plugs on the handlebars.
Any ideas would be greatly appreciated.
