Recently acquired a cat d boxeye 600, just fettling it ready for its mot/engineer's report. Can't wait to be back out after a bit of a sabbatical ?

Anyone know what the part name or number is for these pipes? They are part of the cooling system

Hi does anyone have a pair of standard length dog bones to suit my 2002 Gen 1 1000 that they would like to sell please?

I'm thinking of swapping my aging IS-16 for an IS-17, and wanted to see if anyone has had both and what they thought about them

Very pleased on the whole with the IS-16 especially the quick detach visor and the internal sun shade. Vents are good and visibility is good as well. It's comfortable but quite noisy.

Is the IS-17 quieter?

I have recently purchased a 2005 FZS1000 in lovely condition, with quite a bit of work done to it - suspension, Ivans etc. However, it has a Meta 357T v2 fitted.


I've had problems with these alarms on other bikes and, seeing as it only had one fob and no red card with it, I thought that I would remove it.


Removed the unit and started removing the alarm loom; re-joined the rear indicator cables and was left with three connections with two wires each into blocks on the left side of the bike. There is a black 4 pin block and a white 4 pin block and a white 3 pin block. The 3 pin was providing the feed and an earth to the alarm unit, so I removed the connections. I am assuming that the black and white blocks are part of the original Yamaha loom. By linking the two wires within each of the 4 pin blocks, the bike functions.. I am led to believe that Yamaha fitted loop plugs to these blocks, which were removed when alarms were fitted. Can anyone confirm this.

Can anyone shed any light on an issue..?
At around 35-40 mph I’m getting a whistling sound from the front end of my 2003 FZS600, I thought it might be something stuck in the fairing so investigated that and came up with nothing.
I took off the brake calipers and spun the wheel with drill and found the sound coming from it appeared to be the sensor area or bearings.
Took off the wheel and the bearings were very stiff, unable to turn with fingers. Started process of removing them and once slightly loosened off the spacer bar have freed up considerably so not sure its anything to do with them...
The moving part of the speed sensor is a little slack - is there supposed to be any movement..? ( other than spinning..!)


Any help appreciated

The company I work for, in my view, seems to have a disproportionate number of females in top jobs when compared to the rank and file people proportion. According to the link below they also appear to earn less than their male equivalents. Are they equivalent though? Do they have comparable skills (probably) and experience (may not be quite as much)? Why do I think this? Because it always seems to be a case of positive discrimination when jobs are advertised. Less experienced, but female, candidates get the job ahead of their male opponents in the job contest.


Now, with the information being published, I guess the next big thing will be another year or three of no pay rises for men whilst the women get a pay rise just to bring them in line with the mens salaries. :evil
