I'm trying to login to this forum on a different browser.  I've tried all the different login boxes I can find, but they all go to page : http://foc-u.co.uk/index.php?action=login2  which shows message 'Your session timed out while posting. Please go back and try again.'

Anyone know how to get past this?

Hi all,
I just returned from Italy and saw a lot of Mivv exhaust cans, looked good. Didn't see one on a thou but lots of others.
Before I order one can any body tell me if they come with a main stand stop ?
cheers Flooky

Hello foccers,


Not seen anyone post about this yet, sorry if I've missed it. 


I've booked by MOT for next week, and looking at the new rules ( https://www.mot-testing.service.gov.uk/d...ection_4.2 ) it seems that my Boxeye's HID headlight conversion will fail under the "[color=rgb(11, 12, 12)]Some motorcycles may be fitted with high intensity discharge (HID) headlamps. Existing halogen headlamp units shouldn’t be converted to be used with HID bulbs. If such a conversion has been done, you must fail the headlamp[/color][color=rgb(11, 12, 12)].[/color]".  Doesn't seem like there's much room for leeway.
[/size]
[/size]Has anyone been for an MOT since 20 May with an HID conversion fitted or am I going to be the guinea pig [/size]? 
[/size]
[/size]Mine came with the conversion done when I bought it.... assuming it fails will it just be a case of snipping the wires and soldering an H1 connector in to put it back to original?


Ta,

This year see's the 10th anniversary of my father's passing away, after living with (rather than "dying from") terminal cancer and being cared for by the fantastic Macmillan Cancer Nurses. Since then, my wife has also lost her father to cancer and we have seen many people that we know across the range of our contacts and lives, being impacted by the loss of someone close, to cancer.[/size]More recently, both of our mother's have been suffering with Dementia/Alzheimer's, such that they both need 24 hr care and since experiencing this ourselves, we have become acutely aware of the growing scale of this problem. The Alzheimer's Society provide support and research in the care and treatment of those who suffer and they need our help !Since 2008, Liz and I have organised a fully supported, annual 150 mile Cycle Challenge Ride, engaging over 250 riders to take part (and complete) and have so far raised well over £25,000 for these fantastic charities. As this year is the final time that we will be running this event, I thought I'd make a final plea to our fellow Fazer lovers, for your continued help and assistance in raising as much as we can to help, by simply making a donation in support of our efforts, however small or large (anything is greatly appreciated) - using the Just Giving sponsorship links below.So - many thanks for your previous, and current help and please Ride Safe and Live Long.Just Giving Link to sponsor our group and raise funds for the Alzheimer's Society[color=rgb(102, 0, 0)]https://www.justgiving.com/fundraisi...nd-liz-welburn[/color]Just Giving Link to sponsor our group and raise funds for Macmillan Cancer Support[color=rgb(102, 0, 0)]https://www.justgiving.com/fundraisi...burn-macmillan[/color]

I think this is a case of the clutch basket fingers needing filling, but in case it isn't I wanted to check here here for suggestions...

I have to have the clutch lever set so that it has next to no free play, having the default 3mm results in very hard to change gears on a semi regular basis. I notice that mostly when I am coming up to a set of lights..

And if it is the old "grooves in the basket" issue, is there a quick and clean way to do this with the backet still on the engine (as in with all the plates & hub removed) and all the spaces around the basket filled with rags to keep the metal fillings out.

or

Is there a 3rd party replacement for the clutch assy that dosen't cost a fortune..?

Hello all.

Thought id finally get around to saying hello!

Back in December i picked up a low mileage, dark red 2001 fzs1000. Its in okay shape although engine paint is flaking (as usual).

Initially i found the hand position was uncomfortable so ive fitted a set of 758's and dropped the forks 10mm. Still a bit high and ive just bought but not fitted GYTR risers.

Not really used it much though tbh... Currently considering an r6 rear shock and ivanising...

Anyway, im based in north Bristol so may see some of you about.

Otherwise, Hello (and thanks for all the information so far!!)

Hi,
Trying to remove a rusted in fork seals....
Removed top cap drained oil and took out spring and washers inc spacer.
Now dust seal was difficult to get out then the space behind was full or road salt.
The spring clip was rusted in and snapped in two places getting it out.


cleaned up the area and now trying to remove the fork seal with the sliding method...
[size=1em]Will not budge.[/size]


Not removed the hex bolt from the bottom as just doing a fork seal and oil replacement.


The oil seal just does not want to move.
I even clamped the lower into the workbench so I could really give it some.
But it will not shift.


Any help would be appreciated.

[size=1em]I have the 2nd fork to do and that is no better under the dust seal so expecting the same issue.[/size]

got a new clutch to fit full basket plate the lot but want to use the bike tomorrow do it change it before run or wait and order a gasket reason im changing is clutch basket rattle and sticky clutch plates

Can anyone point me in the right direction? problem with the bike misfiring, so looking to change the plugs and leads. 2004 bike still on original set up so a change might sort the problem, checked coils and resistance is fine.
