Does anyone use these types of products?


I have been using it for a bit (got 2 bottles at a closing down sale) but have noticed that whenever I need to do anything on the bike everything is bone dry rather than retaining any lubricant/grease!  Changed the tires, the front pinch bolt on the forks was proper dry and took a fair amount of force.  Likewise the spindle at the clamp end was bone dry and needed a lot of persuasion.  Rear spindle was the same.  My front brake lever was feeling a bit notchy so I took it off and cleaned/lubed the pivot points etc but again, the bolts,bushing etc were bone dry.


You could say that maybe it was the bike but I have serviced these things since owning and always greased them up etc, never had a problem before using this muc off.  Think I will give it a miss...

Been looking for a weekend bike but couldn't really see anything that takes my fancy...


10 mins on photoshop later....


Might have to see about building this...

Hey ho...


Seeing as the ULEZ is now definitely moving out to the North and South circular in Oct 2021 I'll have to get a new bike, I live in Camden so it'll cost me £12.50 just to ride round the block.  The FZS600 is the only bike I've had so has anyone got any suitable suggestions for a new one?  Weekend rider, usually 2 up, occasional European tour, top-box is essential but not wing rack as I've got soft panniers. 


The old girl only cost me £1,200 6 years ago, costs peanuts to run and insure plus no one has ever tried to pinch her even though she lives on the street.


i know it's still 3 years away but what would you get?

Hi, Bike would not start for my commute home last night so had to get a jump done.

Charged the battery (yusa) overnight 12hr, put it back on and she fired no problem this morning.
Now.....when I got on the bike to get the centre stand down and drive off the bike completely died????
Turned key on off (few times) and nothing, so had another look and did the mandatory little movement of the battery leads turned key and she fired no problem.
Got in to work and gave it two stop start tests and on the 2nd start it coughed a bit, so looks like I will be jumping for the home commute.

12v socket, heated grips (both being disconnected when I find out which wire is which) and a Flash tune kit also connected.

Im sure the battery is dying/dead (don't know how long its there) but it was the shut down that stumped me?

Hi All


My exhaust studs are rusty. The front on the engine could be doing with a bit of TLC and repainting. I'd like to deal with both, but as the bike is running well as is, I wonder if I start on doing these taks I'm opening a can of worms and potentially an engine needing removed in order to remove snapped studs.  Pics:





The middle two sets of studs are more rusted.


I really like the bike.

And yes, whoever mounted them overtightened the studs so that the plates holding the headers on are bent!! Some folk eh! :-s


What would you do?

Any foccers ever attend the Wednesday night bike meets at the woods?
I occasionally go, will be there tonight for a bit

As per the title does anyone know where I can get a radiator cover for my 2005 fzs1000 I’d prefer one in black as my bike is red and black and I think a chrome one would look a bit odd.... been all over eBay and can’t find one ?

Hi all,
Does anyone happen to be breaking a Fox-eye FZS600 (2003)? I need a right hand side inner pannel for my bike.
Thanks!

Hi all. So I'm hoping to pick up an 06 fz1 this Friday, coming from a gsxr 1000.
Ive read a lot of info from various sources, and i notived the very good stuck about gen 1's and was wondering if theres anything like that for the gen 2's??
I think I've got the gist of what the fist mods/upgrades would/should be, ie pc3, de-cat, ais etc if these are not allready done. But im always happy and keen to learn more. So igmf theres any advice or pointing in the right direction please do?!
Tia.
