Hi all,


Just took delivery of an 05 FZS1000S,


I'm looking at going back to a standard can, I have found some on EBay, just wondered if they are all the same system from 01-05?


Also my right hand switch gear has a blank where I would normally find a switch for side/main beam etc, the lights are hard wired to be on all the time, is this standard?


Please excuse the newbie questions, and thanks in advance for any advice.


Cheers.
Daz.

Any info here would be much appreciated.

Does anyone know how you remove the shade from the type of ceiling light in the photo please?.

There's no outer shade fixings at all and no evidence of their ever having been any (no screw holes etc..)

The shade will rotate endlessly both clockwise and anticlockwise without coming off.

Both base and shade are plastic.

Thanking you kindly

I'm sure this will be documented here somewhere but I cannot find it! Sorry, shame :o .

EBC  two sets one for each caliper....

My bike I'd due 24k service. Been quoted just under £500 because according to them it needs a valve clearance service. Is that necessary? Your opinions and expertise please... Thanks

I'm slowly getting my bike to exactly how I want it but them damn silver coloured rearsets do me in but it's only an aesthetic thing so I'm not gonna shell out hundreds for aftermarket ones.  Anyway I've bought some of the carbon fibre inserts for the heel plates and now I'm looking at powdercoating the rest of it in satin black. Has anyone else done this? I'm trying to work out if it will wear off rapidly in the areas that my boots make contact?

Hey Guys,
Quick question (I can post a picture tomorrow if it's helpful).
Basically I already have a Givi Monokey top box with the plate etc (I believe it's the V46 model), and I am looking to get some hard side bags/cases/panniers whatever you prefer to call them so I can go a bit further afield.
So my question is, will I need a whole new plate for the top box to combine it with the panniers or are they all compatible and do they just kind of lock/screw onto eachother?

Just don't wanna spend a load of money to get things that are incompatible?

Sure plenty of you have sorted this out before so any advice will be greatly appreciated!

Thanks guys! Happy new year!!!
