hi all, just had to share the news. Just bought a gen1 Fazer thou. getting it delivered next Saturday but can't ride yet due to a broken wrist from my last bike!

I'm sure it will be worth the wait. Had a Fazer 600 a few years ago and am looking forward to coming home

From all the family a Kosmic Racing and Trackart  :kiss

On my 98 FZS600 the inlet rubbers are showing hairline splits. It's not effecting the performance at all (no indication of running weak) so I think they do not go all the way through....yet!
New ones on Ebay are £75 a set :eek  A friend suggested trying vulcanising rubber solution, the type you get in a push-bike puncture repair kit. Which I am tempted to try, only thing that worries me is the heat that close to the engine.  What do you lot think?

got a letter from swinton who my fazer is insured with
i pay (cause i is poor) monthly so dear sir your bike recovery is due for renewal
as of 1 feb £6.99 per month YOU NEED DO NOTHING as we will take payment from you acc
(acc number quoted)

ok first off dont have recovery as i had to keep cost rite down so didnt take this up
or legal

anyway have recovery free with the rf insurance

so i ring them

this is just a std letter i'm told

so seems now that if you give them your bank detail you give pemission to tag on any policy a take from your bank accordingly

so seems they work on if you dont tell them then you want it

needless to say soon put that rite and got them to remove all date from there mailing too

so beware folks

I got myself an ipad for christmas and am not looking to make the most of it. Being a tight git though, I dont like paying for software etc if I can avoid it. so some questions for you knowledgeable bunch of foccers.

Can anyone recommend some good (useful) free apps to download?
Does anyone know of a good free DVD ripper?
Does anyone know of a reliable place to download MP4 movies for free?

Hi all and happy new year to you

Been a while but not much time to ride or come on here.

just wondered where the R1 front end installation guide has gone from the old site? The one that Mike put together.

Anyone ?

thanks Jacko 

as i need some funds to put my fazer on the road and i cannot ride it due to wrist problems i am selling my honda vfr750,the bike is not immaculate but it is a solid bike and rides spot on for a standard bike,i have done very little mileage in the time that i have owned it which is just over 2 years,i would love to keep it but my wrists wont get better soon so it has to go,
mileage approx 47k (i fitted a replacement speedo because someone put 5 watt bulbs in the speedo)
mot july2012
no tax,bike is on sorn,i can no problem as the bike is still insured
rear tyre replace not done many miles,front is legal but will need changing soon
only one advisory on mot,bike went straight through,the advisory was a slightly perished front tyre valve,it is not that bad and will last till the tyre needs changing no problems
downpipes as far as i can tell is a replacement pattern part,i think they are stainless steel but they are solid
i have the original grab rails and seat cowl
the chain adjuster is not seized,which is common on this model of bike (infact all vfr single sided swing arms)
the 2 main weaknesses of the vfr750 have been  fixed,that is the regulator and the circuit board in the speedo,the regulator has been changed for a yamaha r1/r6 unit and the broken pcb repaired with a soldered wire
i dont have any service history and it will probably need a oil and filter change,i will supply a new filter with the bike,the bike has done less than 1000 miles since the oil was last changed,since i have owned the bike i have changed the instrument assm due to the clock being damaged,i also replaced the seat as someone had modified it and replace the seat cowl
here is a couple of pics of the bike,they are not recent pics but the bike has not changed much



here is the mileage of the original speedo before i changed it


im after £1100 and at that price i will change the front tyre and put 6 months tax on the bike,for an extra £25 i will chuck in a link pipe for an aftermarket can

I fitted a pipe werx oval can to my fox eye and it looks and sound so cool :-)
