I have taken this from the "what did you do with your Fazer thread so not to derail it.
I don't do rain but I do - do cold and been getting away with lots of thin layers, this lot
![[Image: index.php?action=dlattach;topic=6412.0;a...1737;image]](http://foc-u.co.uk/index.php?action=dlattach;topic=6412.0;attach=31737;image)
The blue is a thin camping mat -crap for camping that fits the chest and wraps all the way around to my back and is both insulating and windproof.
The kidney belt as well as being extra lower back protection is also very good at keeping your core warm.
It has been pointed out to me that I should invest in a vest

Get yourself one of those Pertex wind shirts, like the cyclists use. Thin as a fag paper, weighs nothing, packs down tiny in a little stuff sack. Put it on under or over a pullover, makes one hell of a difference without bulking you out. If you need to be warmer still, try a down or primaloft jacket under your bike jacket - some have a Pertex outer layer, so they are very windproof, and come in different weights, so you still don't need to bulk up too much. Wind chill is half the battle.
This is the top I use:

Yeah, I know, pricey :eek but I got mine for £25 in a sale, so look out for such.
And if I need to be even warmer, I use one of these:
https://www.climbers-shop.com/10900842/p...acket.aspx
I don't want heated stuff just as thin a possible with wind stop to replace the 3 layers and the camping mat, good suggestions so far from the trimmer but looking for something that combines both. Like this https://www.evanscycles.com/endura-pro-s...t-EV305964 but I really dont want to pay that much -otherwise I will carry on with my stupid layers as they do work.

Hi Guys its me again, I'm still helping my mate with his FZ1 last time it was a clutch prob which we sorted but this time he has a Missfire but its a strange one.
The symptom
When starting from cold it starts and run fine, this last a few minutes and then without being touched the revs drop and it starts to miss fire. Its all most like it runs Ok on choke but when that comes off it miss fires. How ever it will rev and seems Ok above 5k.
What we have tried so far
Checked Plugs, Coils with a multi meter, Replaced the fuel line, checked all vacuum hoses. There is no fault codes showing and the TPS is at 17 bottom and 94 top. It runs the same with the Tank up or down . He has a power commander fitted so we in plugged that and it made no difference. Checked the clutch and side stand switch's all ok.
Something happens when it get warmed up to a certain point, I'm thinking a sensor is failing or something but don't know.
Any one got any Ideas please as I'm stumped.

| Removing fuel tank |

Hello guys.
I want to make my own simple maintenance for my FZS 600 1998-1999.
I downloaded the manual and it explains how to remove the fuel tank. I never removed a fuel tank and would feel more confortable if I see it first. Is there any video available that shows how to do it? Or if not, is it quite simple?
Thanks
Miguel

| Can camera vans get you when facing towards you? |

As it says, if a camera van is facing towards you, can they get the camera laser speed detector to work through the windscreen or does it have to have a clear path?
Because they always have that little flap open, which they point the camera through at the back.

| The 2018 FOC-U Bike Picture Challenge |

A reiteration of the rules.
1. All challenges must be of YOUR bike and a landmark, or something obscure or creative, something most people can ride to in their area.
2. Picture has to be taken after challenge is made.
3. Challenge is good for a week; if it is not met after that time, the previous picture poster picks a new challenge.
4. Nothing illegal to be challenged.
5. Keep comments to a minimum; if you comment, post the current challenge in bold type after your comment.
6. No repeat challenges.
7. No other bikes can be used, eg, your bike next to a Ducati. Some exceptions will be allowed, eg, your bike next to a bike cop.
8. Only 1 person can win each challenge; any other entrants will not be counted, due to throwing the whole game off track and adding challenges that don't stand.
9. If any dispute about a challenge occurs, 3 oks from others settles the challenge.
Remember, this thread is supposed to get people to want to go ride straight away and beat others to the challenge - be creative, but be sensible about it.
Have fun Foccers!
