Good to see you mate today and that you are up and around, take it easy for a while see you at a ride out this year 

Mate I got a CD for you it's the greatest hits of The Housemartins, will get it sent up to you  :lol

see  http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?V...0835826290

£15.00 buy it now and £7.00 p+p 

twice I tried to sell my ER6F  but no bugger is buying.
its an 09 face lift model it has only 3,000 miles on the clock.
I paid  £5,075 plus another couple of hundreds quid on it in accessories.
put it up for £3,200 but no takers.kinell the bike is like new! :\
I just cannot ride it far before numb bumness appears.
last time out I did 212 miles by the time I got home I could have cried with the pain :'( :lol .
as you can imagine it has put me off biking and almost gave up biking.
I traded my 03 yam fazer 600 for it, I now wish I hadn't but its gone now ,no good dwelling on it.if I can sell my ER I'd get another Fazer.
one of the reason that I sold the fazer it was a little high.
I was worried in case I'd drop it with my wife on the back.
on some roads no problem but if it has a deep camber ..it was a case of tip toeing trying to revers in or out whilst parking.
I'm not a short ass either just over 5'11"
on the move no problem.
sat on the ER6 perfect so I thought light/low.
hindsight is a wonderful thing but it no good if ya bike gone!
I never thought that I could of lowered it a bit.
I could trade it in for a Fazer1,000 again that is higher still.
I took the thou/600 for a test ride and I liked the 600 it felt lower etc so I bought the 600(new in 03).
I'm buggered if I'm going to sell the ER6 at a knock down price.
I had the seat redone 2 year ago and I don't think the guy has done it right.
don't get me wrong it looks beautiful but...
the seat is trying to push me towards the tank and at times it feel like friction burn.
and I think the foam that he has used is no correct.
a couple of bikers friends have said so to inc a dealer.
where I sit on its round'sh thats wrong to I believe.
the handle bars to is trying to push my hand's out,that doesn't feel comfortable at all.
soon get used to it.
but at my age 60 bike has to suit me not the other way round.
my two lads say sell the bike and get another Fazer.
wife would like me to keep the ER6 and me to as this is my last new bike I'll ever own.
and I like it to but its no good if I can ride it far.
so me think is try once more get the seat re-done(by Tony archer ,I've heard he's very good) and lower bars and if it doesn't work out sell it next year.
so am I wasting my time you recon??
my old Fazer.......


my current bike...........

Hi,

My Chain snapped on my Fazer, Luckily at slow speed ~20mph, Not sure why.. Chain was lubed (Scotoiler) and adjusted regulary...

Anyways, the damage is a snapped Clutch pushrod/Actuator shaft... but my main concern is the hole which the shaft goes through..  The Shaft has made a nice oblong shape out of what was once a nice round hole. Hopefully the pictures below show what i mean.

Please can one of you experts tell me if the hole is acutally part of the lowercasings, and I have really screwed the pooch, and a new engine/casing is required.. or.. is this a bush/insert that i can replace.

I am kinda thinking its the casings, but.. ya never know...

Thanks in advance

Chris

Recently bought a 53-reg FZS1000 - loving the bike but noticed something odd about the speedo.
The speedo is in MPH as normal (KMH in small digits), however I've just noticed that the digital odometer and trip recorders are reading kilometres - I measured the distance to the petrol station and compared to what it says in my car - 5.3 in the car, 8.6 on the bike.
Is there a way to re-set this? I've read things about holding in the SELECT button on other Yamahas, but can't find anything definitive for the Fazer.
I disconnected the battery briefly since I bought it - but surely this wouldn't change it from Miles to KM?
Odometer reads 14k - if this is KM and not miles that's no bad thing, but I'm planning on putting a fair few miles on it, and worried the KM reading would go so high it'd become unsellable.
I'm pretty sure it's not an import (any way to check?)
Any suggestions?

Ok, so I am getting old, I have vastly abused my body over the years, and yes, I do feel 100 in the body and 10 in the head...

This was happening on the 600, and it's appeared on the thou, after about 3 hours in the saddle, I get a cramping pain in the top inner of me left thigh.
I am contemplating a pretty decent run up to Cullen in May, via The Cairngorms. I will then be coming back via Blairgowrie, Perth etc...
I don't want to be hobbling when I'm off the bike.

Can anyone reccomend any exercises or stretches that will help, or am I better going to the vets for a put down shot?

Any advice or abuse welcomed..
