Forum Form

Is it just me or is it a tad rude when people join this forum and go straight in with a link to something they are selling on flea bay etc. I appreciate that an odd time this will suit a member but surely it would suit a member more if it was offered to members first (10 days ?) before being advertised anywhere else. Even a certain amount of posts before they can sell something, then we might know a wee bit about them ! Not that I am saying all people are dodgy. This has nothing to do with recent posters (members) as it happened plenty on the old site, I can recall some 'welcome to the site' remarks on some adverts.
Sorry for the out of character soft rant, but god it bugs me !

Right, Have been running a new set of Oxford Sports grips off the battery for a few weeks to get used to them. I have now wired them into the lighting connectors on the handle bars where I had my hot hands. Noticed tonight that if the bike is on tickover and you turn on the grips it will only light the blue light, i need to rev it, or be Physically running to be able to up the heat setting. Is this OK ?

ok people has anyone fit a set of handguards to 1998-2003 fazer 600 as i thinking about doing it and then put a line of led across them  :rolleyes

Hi

I'm new to the site and have a gen 1 Fazer 1000.

I have removed the Givi luggage rack and listed it on eBay http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/110832179370?s...1555.l2649

I also have an E36 pannier that I was using as a top box http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/110832184757?s...1555.l2649

Please take a look at the auctions if you want either or both of these items.Look forward to seeing you out and about.

Just wanted to post a thread (partly to keep current on the site!) that might help others with poor battery performance.

Having gone through about 5 batteries since the OEM one died after 5 years, I've found a two-pronged solution. Haven't tested which one is the relevant one, but since:

- installing a Motobatt battery
- taking out the in-line fuse to my Oxford grips except when it's really cold

...my battery has performed flawlessly all winter.

how many miles do you have left once the light starts to flicker? thanks

on monday my cam chain tensioner finally decided to do its job it took a long time about 3000 miles and with the low temperatures the engine never really fully warmed up so the rattle was almost constant and it was driving me mad i did panic a bit monday night when i started my bike and thought something is wrong it doesnt sound right it took me about 10 seconds before i worked out there was no rattle i forgot how smooth and quiet the engine should be i'm loving the bike as its coming up to 45000 miles with 10000 miles of them being mine since i got it may last year i'm really looking forward to summer and racking up more miles

priced valve and cables up £200 (lots n lots of beer tokens)
,
i ride March through to Nov going to rallies etc every weekend putting approx 200 mile each time, dont thrash it unless feeling naughty (of course not in this country too  :evil )

Most of my rides have camping gear on bike and we do 80 mph

so i would guess maybe 2 dozen times a year its me my bike and fast riding

The question is  .... Do I need to spend that 200 on this damn exup thingymabob or not?? what harm will it do?? or am i just missing mid range torque that i prob dont use that often ??  OK OK all you 80-90-100mph need it....but  do I

:z :z :z :z :z prob been answered before but searched n not come up with much in the way of a definitive answer
