Hi ..

Change my rear sprocket out for a 46t (standard 44t)...  8)

Now the chain is way tight... these bikes need a lot of slack.. the axle is right up against the adjusters.. there is no more slack towards the front..

Question.... Standard Fazer Thou (insert prefered brand name) is a 530 chain with 116 links....

Now the R1 uses a 530 - 118 link chain and the CBR1000 uses a 530 -120 link chain..

Which do you reckon to get some slack back .. 118 links or 120 links...??

I am landing in Cape Town on Thursday morning and my friend isn't arriving 'til the evening - with the keys to his house - so I have a day to spend in Cape Town just me & my rucksack. Any top tips? both on teh best way to get into town from the airport and what to do during the day after a tiring overnight flight in scum class.

carbon rad covers from Germany ordered tuesday arrived friday perfect fit and all the original bushes fit and the holes align 100%

Whilst i was at it i won some R1 NRC engine covers off evilbay the casings are rough finished and unpainted as stock so i got to work sanding the casings for a smooth finish than took a box of bits to have powder coated.




I brought a sargent seat last week however when it arrived and i fitted the seat the rear pillion seat is slightly wider and touched the rentec grab rail and in time i felt it would rub thro and tbh i felt it did not follow the lines of the rear cowling so i sent it back for a refund, and than sent my original seat to Coventry custom seats for a remake and a gelastic pad and the outcome i saved £££ and im very happy with melvyn's work yet again and turn around was 3 days

A friend of ours has just been given a Samsung P29 laptop, and she is having a few problems trying to get it to connect to the internet via the wireless router. She has connected other laptops, so has a reasonable amount of knowledge of setting up wireless connections, but she is really struggling with this one. She (and her laptop) are 25 miles away from where I live, so I haven't seen it or been able to help her, just wondering if any Foccers have any experience of this particular laptop and could point me in the right direction.
Thanks in advance 

Thought this forum could do with some pro-Fazer8 posts

Cheers,

Phil

How do I stop from thinking, ah nice sunny day, best ride the bike to work. How stupid am I :eek

25 miles later, slipping all around then get to work and can't undo me lid, thank god for secretaries! It takes 30 minutes for my fingers to stop feeling like they will explode then have to do the reverse in the foccin' dark.

Mad, just quite mad :rolleyes  note to self....December is a bit too nippy for an old bird.

i have just got a mug and a mouse mat personalised with my bike on them rather than a random bike,what do you think?

Afternoon peeps

I'm interested in buying a 10W LED floodlight (12v/24v) to run off a car/deep cycle battery.           
http://www.onsolar.co.uk/12V-10W-LED-Floodlight.htm

I currently have a 60W spot light. Its like the ones you see on the roof of utility vans or land rovers - its round with a plastic mesh on it.

So if its 60W and runs from 12V does that mean it draws 5ah? the LED floodlight draws 900ma at 12V or 450ma at 24V.

If i linked to 12v batteries together in series it would give me 24V so the light would draw 450ma. So is that 225ma from each battery?

I know your only supposed to put batteries in series if they are the same age, condition and type. I have two leisure batteries that are the same but not quite in the same state. One charges to 13.24V and the other will fully charge to 12.82v. (which my charger class's as "weak" ??)

so.....i take it i shouldn't wire those two batteries in series?  :o

Hey all,

Helping out a friend with this posting, mate's recently passed away after a brief battle with Cancer, and I am helping his wife sell his Fazer.

I know its a bit cheeky signing up for a forum just to sell a bike, but Steve would have been keen to see the bike go to an enthusiast!..

Any ooh details as follows.

MY-09
Blue Fazer S2 FZ6 - Bought as an ex-demo bike, so currently 2nd owner, however it was still in the shipping crate to the shop when it was registered to Steve.

In the 2.5 years of ownership, it's only done 4000 miles, and pretty much 99% of this has just been on local short ride out's with me..  He was fanatical about looking after it, therefore its never been ridden in the rain, and is kept in a spotless condition..

I don't know what else there is to say about it, it hasn't had its first MOT yet and its Tax runs out early next year, although its currently on SORN.

The bike is Essex based, and I am handling all inquiries on behalf of his wife, as you can imagine this is a difficult time.

She's asking £3750, not for the money but the principle that Steve loved this bike, and although there is some flexibility in the price she wouldn't want it to go too cheap.

Feel free to email me through here if interested or phone/text 07809 879982 (Alan)..

Ride safe!
