Am I the only person who watches television presenters driving at the same time as presenting a television program as wrong.  They drive along with a camera mounted on the dash half an eye on the road and the other on the camera. It is not a good example.

Has anyone made there own ais kit? In that tapping the head and installing either blanks or bolts,I have just bought a tap and die set from lidl so I thought I could find a use for it

Anybody use an alternative to iTunes?

According to Wikipedia, there are a few options, but the one I tried (doubleTwist) appears to actually only support Android devices. Which is fine, as far as it goes (I have an Android phone), but would like one piece of software that can handle my Ipod as well as the Android phone.

Can anybody help, save me reading umpteen websites and/or trying many more pieces of software?

My 98 FZS600 has developed a rattling noise that only comes in around 6000rpm. The noise seems to be coming from the top of the engine arond where the cam chain is. I thought it might be the adjuster but from what I can gather if it was the adjuster it would be noticeable on tick over and would get better when engine gets hot or clutch lever is pulled in. Mine sounds sweet untill the revs get around 6000 and does not go away when warmed up. Its only done 24000 miles, 10000 in the last two years since I bought it. Any advice before I start tinkering would be helpfull.

This month a different form of voting. Many people say each month that it is difficult to pick one winner, so with this poll you get three votes. You can give them all to the same person, 2 to one person and 1 to another or even give three people 1 vote each.

Let me know what you think :thumbup

Hi all, new to forums but been riding my fzs600 every day rain or shine since passing my test 2 years ago. Hoping for some advice on an engine problem but will post more about that in the right forum.

I've decided to revert back to standard can but the bore is too big to fit onto recently installed SS downpipes. Can I use heat resistant tape to wrap around the pipe at the back end of the downpipes so that the link pipe from the can fits properly? If not what can I use to create a decent seal between the two ends? Thanks.

For the winter riders really, I'm negotiating a group buy with Tucano Urbano to get a discount on their bar muffs (RRP £49.99).


Five sets will get you £5 off the RRP, so £44.99 a set.


Available with or without holes for mirrors or bar-ends. Though I'd recommend bar-end holes as it it stops them getting pushed back onto the levers as you ride along. Both Debz and myself have been using them over the last few winters so we know they work extremely well. Add heated grips and you can wear your skinny summer gloves all year round even when it's below zero outside.


Anyone interested?
