Is anyone from the FOC-U going to this years TT or Manx?

Can any one confirm if Michael Dunlop will be Riding a Sidecar this year? If he is... that will be absolute mental carnage on the track!!

I have just started up my fz1 after a two month rest. It starts ok but after a couple of minutes it ticks over at 4k. I took it out for a 8 mile run . Everything seems fine power  wise but when you stop or pull the clutch in it's back to the 4k. It's not the idle adjustment screw. Any ideas ?

hi all, strange post and not sure if its normal but my xup servo is making a strange type of electrical surge noise, very much like if you arc accross a battery and get a small spark. i dont mean the normal noise you get from the servo moving and its constantly there while egnition is on. ive got an led back light and the numberplate lite is flickering so i thought it was a bad earth or something  so while i was investigating this i heard a noise around the engine and found it to be the servo so removed it and opened it up to find lots of plastic cogs and couldnt see a way to the electrical side so put it back together and still have this noise. is it normal or do i need to worry about it or just plug in the ipod and say fook it lol, been accross my mates and checked his R1 and no noise at all
any help would be great thanks
Cheers Mick

My beautiful Fazer (2000 FZS600 Model) has started to develop a problem. On Monday I noticed that it started to feel quite weak, and breathless, and as soon as I started to put the choke in it would stop at ever single traffic light. It would fire up again ok, but I'd ever have to leave the choke open, or keep the throttle on a tad to stop it stalling.


It has also had a massive power reduction, and feels like I am riding through treacle. The Brakes work fine, the wheels turn freely, and the horrid feeling goes when I am coasting along.


I have also had a HUGE drop in fuel economy. A full tank has only done me 90miles (eeeeck!!)


I think I might have flooded the cylinder, and that has damaged the plug, so that all cylinders aren't firing.


However, does this sound like it could be anything else??


I want to take it to a garage (so if anyone knows any good ones in North London please let me know) but I don't want them to create jobs in order to nick my cash.


Help.

Hi all
Just move up from an FZR600 to an 09 plate FZ1-SA. :lol Loving it big time - even after a very cold collection ride from London to Tamworth to London on a very cold and frosty Saturday morning. Question is, the bike has original Yam hard panniers and fixings with the indicators wired in line with the number plate. However, I cannot work out why there is no provision to light the number plate. The main tail light does not have a white/clear down facing section (and is too far away)and the additional brake light further back is just that - a brake light. Is it me?

I have just fitted an R6 shock to my thou, quite obvious how the preload and compression is adjusted but , not a clue about the rebound , I assume its done with the allen screw by the gas container, could someone elaborate , thanks .

anyone no or can measure quick the thickness of the top yoke by fork leg ta

The fuel gauge on my Fazer 600 shows full all the time! Is this a known fault on this bike? If so what is the cure?

  the one and only "Multi gauge of Ultimate Coolness"...

Christian now has some in stock again

Can't wait... !!  8)
