Happy Birthday for 20th January Marco







Gone but not forgotten 

i keep getting asked if the r6 shock mod is for the fazer 600 well time to test it out

so i need a willing victim to help me with this

from pictures i have seen this will only work with years with fork bottom connections

i need to know the eye center to eye center measurement, size of top and bottom hole,
dia of spring

dogbones i need the eye to eye center on these, thickness

i need someone who is willing to give the conversion ago, it wont be free but will be at cost
as part of the deal, you would need to evaluate the ride both solo to up and with luggage if poss

you need to be localish to bristol

My gen 1 is coming up to 28000miles. I'm about to treat her to a new rear shock thinking about  a nitron road shock at £354. Anyone tried one? Thought about r6 shock but not keen on buying 2nd hand shock. What sort of mileage should i change wheel bearings.They feel ok when wheels out of bike no "notchyness" (is that a word?)  :\  but off to scotland in May from somerset so think I will do them anyway. Also some play in rear linkage bearrings so will do those as well. Are there any other suppliers other than yamaha for linkage bearings?? I've found wheel bearing kits on wemoto but not linkage bearings. May do headrace while I'm at it. Any tips would be helpful. Apart from let someone else do it. I never take the easy option  :'( DIY is best

Right can anyone tell me how to identify a Uk spec from a euro spec headlight unit on the early shape Fzs600. Is the difference only in the reflectors inside or are the bulbs at different sides?

On main beam mine lights up the rh/side of the road as opposed to going off to the left as it should. Run the chassis number through at a Yamaha dealers and apparently it's a Norwegian bike. Bought a headlight unit checked with the seller it's from a uk bike which i was told it is. Looked today and i can't see any different markings from the one in my bike at the moment, the bulbs are the same way around although the right hand bulb on mine says Germany at it's base where the voltage and wattage is printed and the new one says France. The one marking i haven't found is the part number given in the part's catalogue i downloaded from here. Every other component in the headlight has only part number except the whole unit which has number 5DM-84310-00-00 or 5DM-84310-10-00. Help!

just moved from 02 to 3 with a new HTC wildfire S phone

What a crap phone and what a terrible company 3 are!!! any way to cut a long story short, i want out of my contract (I'm only 3 months in to a 24 month contract).

Can i just cancel the direct debit from my bank? theres no point in complaining to them....they just ignore you.

I'm thinking of switching to bar end mirrors on my FZS600, I've had a quick look on line but can't find any blanking plates.

Does anyone know were I can find a set?
Also any thoughts on bar end mirrors? These caught my eye as you can tuck them away when you park up:

Would any one know where there is a Dyno tuning centre in Yorkshire? or even East/North Yorkshire would be a major bonus!! 

Any pointers would be much appreciated!!
