OK, the saga of the exup continues. I won't bore you with the details, but the selling dealer is saying that as it has a Deklevic an already, it'll run fine with Delklevic headers with no exup. My workshop says that's crap. What say you lot?

Just picked up a 2004 Fazer 1000 yesterday. Has many of the popular mods and goes very well. Bought it as a second bike. I have a Moto Guzzi Breva 1100 and absolutely love it. Gorgeous, 'living' engine. Had a bit of spare cash a[size=78%]nd decided to get something different, though both are basically all-rounders. Before the Guzzi, I had a VFR800 - love V4s, my first ever bike was an early VF. Before that, I wore out a nicely modified FJ1200. [/size]

Hi,
Does anyone know of any engine guards/bars that are compatible with a 2003 FZS 1000?

Hi am I right in saying the headlight bulbs in a fzs600 2001 boxeye  is  one H4  and one H1 ???

I bought this today:





Metallic blue, 14K miles, looks as though it's never seen any rain (that will change!) and starts, stops, rides and steers very sweetly indeed.


Some answers would be very much appreciated if anyone can help....?


- parts file download location? or can anyone send me a file?
- Datatool system 3 - is there a key conversion or should I just remove it?
- is there a decent forum for these?


I rode it back from north London to Portsmouth and I think very highly of it so far. It will not be replacing the Fazer 1000 however....

Hi,

Poor bugger.
Yet another biker taken away and not his fault by the sound of it.

You've got to feel for the old guy driving the Range Rover too as he's probably in bits.
Mind you, it does strengthen the argument for more frequent driving tests above a certain age.

Anyone used this 'calimoto' app?
It's actually really good for coming up with impromptu fun routes to ride on. I've only had it a few days so not fully explored it all but seems like it's a brilliant little app for bikers who like to ride without a destination in mind.
Also finds alternative 'twistier' routes for your normal commute (if possible obviously)

Hello    iam  simon  (bridgeman )  from kings lynn  , Norfolk  just got me a 2001 fzs 600    and wanted to say Hello.    anyone local  up for a chat etc ??

A word of caution on auto-renewal.


A week before mine was due for my Multi Bike Insurance (product name) with Carole Nash in June this year, I contacted them and added my car (new last year so years free insurance with Toyota was expiring).


This moved me to their Six Wheel Insurance and I paid immediately by Debit Card the requirement amount. I asked what I should do re the bike element that was due shortly and was clearly told not to pay that then as it would indeed still be 'auto-renewed'.


Now I know we are advised to check it has been taken from your bank on the renewal date (so need to tell me) but auto-renewal was introduced by the Government to avoid accidental non-renewal by motorists, but, as you've gathered from the title, it wasn't.


I found out 3 weeks after the due renewal date so had 4 machines with no cover for that period.


I immediately rang Carole Nash and they apologised and took the Debit Card payment - without me even having to provide the 3 digit code!  So the fault wasn't at my end.


The upshot, so far, is they still say I had no cover, BUT would pay any court fines. So who would be potentially disqualified I asked?


I had the evening before checked on the Motor Insurers Database (MID) and discovered the non insured aspect (which led to a somewhat sleepless night in itself) yet I also noticed that one machine was now recorded as a completely different Made and Model.  Carole Nash had it correct before and I have the documents to show this.


Both these aspects are the subject of a Complaint to Carole Nash as I raised the second one when I renewed the bike cover and again when I rang couple of days later as it still was and, at the time of writing this four days after they received it, it still is even though they are all now shown as Insured.


The moral of the story.  Either don't trust Carole Nash's statement of 'we will auto renew 5 days before' and 'you have nothing to worry about' and ring on the day. Or, don't use Carole Nash.


Any one else come across this problem that could leave us stranded by the roadside, bike seized, fined or even disqualified - if used more than once before YOU realise.  And all because Carole Nash hasn't any check or back up system.
