Last years insurance was apparently £184
New quote from them recently was £217


Then i get an email from The Bike Insurer who had my details, quoting me £99 but with £825 excess, for a bike i’ve valued realistically at £1000.


The next quote on The Bike Insurer site was £128 with £100 excess.........sorted.


But i really don’t get how they get to all these different and random figures.......especially the one for £7,407.99, or £8,296.96 if paid with instalments. :lol

Hi  fellas n burds recently bought an xj900f to have a bit of a project to go at got it running last night then promptly burned out the igniter box (feckin melted) do any of you guys have any expierience of this before or any idea what may be the cause of this thanks in advance any ideas /info greatfully recieved cheers

              Maybe it is just me but does anyone else find they leave their indicators on?  Why was the good old self cancelling 70s and 80s idea done away with?  Is there an easy to fit audible indication unit like on a car?  I am conscious of not cancelling them and feel I spend too much time looking down checking the idiot lights!  :o  Or are there bulbs in the idiot lights that can be changed to brighter ones, might help.

My bike wont start! The starter relay has the red cable connected from the battery but the black cable has come loose. Does any one know what bolt size I need to re-attach. Attached a picture to make more sense.

(as far as i can tell from looking at the wiring diagram its a connector block for testing the earth points of the electrics around the bike... but am totally not sure!)


thanks xx

Hello all.
More EXUP problems that you are surly all tired of reading but thought id give it a go.
Bike was sat for about 4 months, as predicted code 7 appeared, went for a blast to try and clear but to no avail. I have check the cables are at the correct tension, and once that failed, i have resorted to removing it to see the problem.
The issue i have discovered is the valve is not moving, it has siezed to the end plate, no amount of force will get it to budge... Any ideas before i break it?
Or does anyone know where i could purchase a replacement if needs be? guessing i will also need cables as they have probably been ruined from trying to turn the valve when it was stuck...
The other option is to get rid of the valve completely with these, although id rather not spend the cash: https://www.blackwidowexhausts.co.uk/fzs...-126-p.asp

so I’m a big lad, 22 stone, but damn these brakes ain’t sharp ffs. It’s done 45k and I don’t think much has been done to her other than oil changes. Engine is sweet, just had valve clearances done and pretty much all of them were miles out. But the brakes are crap. Pull the front brake hard and it will stop but 3 finger pulls are poor at best


I’m thinking a fluid change would be a start, but then steel braided lines at same time will surely improve the performance?

hugger after about 4 years of dry weather only riding. Since I last took it off to clean
