I've left a small problem for you under my testicles in the lav..















sorry. in the lab

:moon parp

well i have been wanting to do it for many many years but have been unable to.
While i couldnt sleep last night i took the plung (but only in a tiny way lol) and booked myself a 20 min track day taster session at brands hatch  :eek at only £20 it has to be worth a laugh

Finaly for the first time since i was in my teens i am able to get in to full zip together leathers, i actualy have gloves, boots (well kind of) as well so nothing holding me back from giving it a go other than the fear of killing myself or some one else  :lol

roll on the 19th oct 4pm ish for my WHOLE 20 mins taster  :lol


but my finger is also now hovering over the box for a full track day brands on the 31st oct as well but as thats £79 its something i have to see if farther xmas might step forward for

Bought one of those magnetic boxes to keep a car key in and magnet to the car body somewhere, but just wondered if the close proximity of the magnet to the key and all it's electronic wizardry (imobiliser etc) could cause a problem?

I have for sale a little used Ohlins rear shock absorber which cost £900 new in 2009. It has seen very little use, never been in the rain, no track days nothing! (I have two bikes and a car)
The Fazer had to go due to financial circumstances(redundant) and so the shock was removed and the original replaced. This shock is in excellent condition and is now no longer needed. I would like to see offers over £400, this is a bargain!

As some of you know from a thread further down the page I had my chain and sprockets changed last week, since then I've noticed that I don't have the same insane accelleration in lower gears that I had before and that where 70mph was always 6000 rpm it's now 5500 rpm.

I'm assuming that the bike has had either a bigger front sprocket, bigger rear or both fitted.  I've spoken the the garage that did the work and they said they just took the old ones off and put news ones on and didn't compare.  The chain is a DID chain and the sprockets are not Yamaha, just ones my local garage picked for the bike, when I spoke to them I asked if they were the correct ones for my bike and they said yes (I see no reason why they would lie) They did offer to change them if there was a problem.

I'm guessing that the sprockets they took off we not correct and were geared lower.

Should I be concerned?  It's a shame I'm not as quick when it comes to nipping round vehicles but I'm hardly slow.

Could this sprocket change affect anything else on the bike?

Is 5500rpm what everyone elses' bike is doing (using standard sprocket) at 70mph?

Cheers
