Hi Guys, i am new to the forum but spotted something that worried me a little and there is no information on if it affects bikes.
petrol stations are due to start stocking E10 fuel and i'm a little worried it will damage my 03 plate FZS600.

heres the link http://www.pistonheads.com/news/default....ryId=24900

I have read that BP will be doing the 1st roll out and shell will follow after but leaving v-power at E5 for the time being.

many thanks

The front brake calipers fitted to my Fazer seem to be different to those I've seen on others. The "blue pots" seem different. Mine are light blue with the inside bit natural aluminum whilst the others I have have seen are darker blue all over.

Is this normal or have they come from another bike? Always wondered....

Thanks,

Fuzzy

I currently have a pair of DHB (motrax?) crash bungs fitted. The bike has been knocked over a few times and they seem to have done quite well to prevent major damage.

However, I binned the bike in the summer at about 50mph and the bike suffered bent bars, broken fairing (most damage here), broken peg hanger and the engine casing was scratched  :o . The bung seemed to have minimised the damage to the engine but didn't do a great job of keeping the fairing & it's bracket from big damage. Considering the speed I think it could've been a lot worse though! Thank god I was wearing full leathers that day, just bruised!

Anyway, I now want to replace they bungs as it's looking pretty tatty on one side. Can't decide whether to go for crash bungs again or crash bars. What's your opinion? Do you recommend certain brands - R&G? Genuine Yamaha? Renntec?

Cheers,

Fuzzy

Is it possible to get cruise control for the FZS600 foxeye?

So! Merry Christmas and Boxing Day to all.
what did Santa bring you all nice for your bikes?

Hope everyone had a good Xmas.


Had a bit of trouble riveting the "soft link" on my new chain. After hours of using what muscles I have I broke my chain riveter and although I caused an indentation on the ends of the soft links it was not enough to stop me being able to push the link straight back through.


The link is not hollow and I really can't see how any tool could cause it to flare enough to be safe. Has anyone else had this problem? I am thinking of buying a different soft link that is easier to flare.


Any tips appreciated.


Cheers
Ian
