Just been watching some utube vids of bikers being pulled over in the US as filmed via their own helmet cams and I noticed that they all used the kill switch to turn off the bike and then turn the ignition key.I never use the kill switch and always use the key - what do everyone do.I do sometimes use the kill switch after parking just as a simple extra tiny bit of security - could be just enough to confuse an opportunist. Like it has done me when I return and the bike wont start for some reason  :o :lol 

WANTED Gen 1 Belly Pan anyone got one for sale?

As per title can anyone recommend a good quality paddock stand?
Not interest in an ABBA or anything that fancy, just a normal good quality rear paddock stand preferably designed to fit the Fz1 so I can just line up and lift?


I currently have a 'universal' one with spring hooks and I'm sick to death of trying to line it up then faff about pushing the hooks back and forth to get them on the spools while also holding the bike upright etc etc then once its finally up I've noticed its leaning to one side so really need a new one

I am removing the engine bars I got with the bike (ones cracked), do I have to support the engine on the under side to give it support while I remove the bolts?
Also I have read some conflicting lines about the torque rating when I go to reset the bolts is there any definite rating?

The FIM technical director Scott Smart has decided that the four Ducati Panigale V4R's will get a 250rpm restriction for this weekends racing at Assen. This will affect Bautista, Davies, Laverty and Rinaldi, their rev limit now being 16,100. At the other end of the scale Honda have been awarded a 500 rpm increase in an attempt to give Leon Camier some much needed help. Maybe Honda's fortune would have been a lot better if they had stayed with Ten Kate. Can't wait for Friday practise.

Any of you who fit their own tyres use one of these.  Any good  do bike wheels actually fit on these

okay so today coming home i noticed a new sound.... it sounds like those old war movies of the planes flying over head loud rumble thats some kind of sypatheitc virbation sounds/feels like the tank makes the sound alot louder didnt have any change in responce or anything just a loud very distant vibrational rumble
any thoughts i am going to go over everthing tomorow any ways but suggestions would be great

it only happens at about 4k stable rpm in most gears and neutral no change in power timing (etc)

my ignition is getting worse...really have to fiddle with the key sometimes to turn ignition on.  Just seen on "delboys garage" (cheers dynspud) he got a new ignition barrel and fuel tank fillercap for 48 quid from wemoto, but it dont look like they do em for fazers. Any ideas fellers?
