Over the last few weeks there've been no more than 5 bikes at work, a Chinese 125, a blade and 3 Fazers, a T plate 600, a 61 plate FZ8 and my 54 1000. Nice work Yamaha!

hi guys,

I am fitting Hel lines on the rear this weekend and although I have about a year of life on the pads think this might be a good time to change. I do no track work and don't ride the bike too hard.

So what pads ? There is talk of a combo of  of HH on the from and GG on the rear. I don't want them to be to grabby so am thinking of GG on the rear and as the from is OK no change. Also as I have about a year or so of pad on the rear should I not bother and just run wi the HEL upgrade.

Cheers dudes

PS if you work for Enfield council they have an offer for free bike safe for employees for 3rd & 10th March.

Hi I finally got round to passing my test last week having ridden a few little bikes for 4 years, firstly a gp100 which I ran out of oil twice!! Which liked it the first time but died the second (rip my friend) then on to a cb100 which although I maintained a lot better was stolen and when returned was painted white (so badly it had the fingerprint of the thieving bastard clearly visible on the tank) wasn't too disheartened though as wouldn't go above 40 without shaking and the throttle would stick wide open whenever it got cold. So I picked up a gilera coguar cruiser, big mistake, through all the other 2 bikes short comings they were forgivable as the were both older than me at 26 and 28 years old. The gilera though was 10 years old and rotted whenever the clouds came out. The electrics were a joke with the ignition failing every other day and having to bump start whenever the temperature dropped to less than 10 degrees.
So having the test in sight I picked up a fazer 600 on a 98 plate 28000 miles and in almost perfect condition. The only fault is the front fairing is cracked from previous owners drop. Anyone who has a black 98 front going please let me know.    I have been riding it now for 2 weeks and I love it. It's so much fun. I'm just getting used to not having to rev the tits off it to make it move aka every other bike I've owned.  Always get home with a massive smile on my face. Happy to have stumbled on this site as it has already answered many questions so thanks for the help already

Hi everyone, would appreciate any feedback on what sort of top speed you are getting from a stock 03 model. Mine seems to be struggling over 140, have crept it up to 150 indicated, don't know if i'm expecting too much or it is holding back. Have checked air filter which was quite dirty have blown it out and ordered a new one which i intend to fit before taking it out again. I will see if this makes a difference but in the meantime would appreciate any input...safe riding.

What are the top ten tasteful mods for a 03 fzs600 fazer??? :lol :lol

So what's the top speed of the 03 fzs600 fazer, i've seen 150 on the speedo but what is the it in the real world?? :lol :lol

anyone been? thinking of going?
seems to fit in with this summers holiday trip, so fancy a visit.

I am normally a very sceptical person when it comes to the paranormal, but................................


Soon after I moved into this house I noticed there was always a chill on the landing and sometimes a sort of musty odour??
This could easily be explained by draughts and a damp carpet from a leaky radiator, but............


I woke one night and could DEFINITELY see someone standing on the landing with his back to me and shoulder length curly blond hair????


Only ever seen him once but I regularly feel that there is someone watching me from the same place and see little flickers of movement in the gloom and unexplained creaks and bumps.


I am not particularly bothered and have often challenged whatever it is to appear.  :eek


Any other Foccers got similar ghostly tales???????????????
