After 3 year's the fazer's looking a bit rough so thinking about treating her to a professional clean up can anyone recommend a bike cleaning firm?Would be great to get her back to her best.

11 of us are going off to Europe on the bikes as usual in July. We have a choice dependent on the weather. Its either camping in the black forest or if the weather is crap in Germany, down to my place (again) near to Nevers in France.

Now I am a little worried about the availability of camp sites which could accommodate us (we will need about 5 pitches together) without causing problems with other campers, families and young kids trying to sleep at 9pm when 11 of us are sitting around having a laugh and drinking beer.

I have had a look on the net for campsites in the Black Forest and all the ones ive found have marked off pitches and I reckon they would be either fully booked or only have a few scattered pitches available by the time we get there in the middle of summer. We cant book up early because we wont know where we will be going until about 3 days before we leave the mainland for Europe.

Has anybody been to the Black Forest around the B500 road area (yes I know its quite long) who has any info about campsites which would be more suited to our requirements?

Thanks.

Hi anyone ever done one of these, if so how straight forwards was it. Cheers.

Hi everyone


i have just acquired my FZ6 04,


out for a blast to get used to her, came off a roundabout onto a dual carriageway, went to over take a line of lorries and opened her up, halfway past and she died, crap I've broke it already :'( [size=78%], wouldn't start by releasing the clutch and I'm slowing down fast (this is a fast carriageway) better get off the road, I managed to squeeze between two lorries then quickly onto the verge and pull up.[/size]


bewildered looked at the dials and hmmm no lights or power, then look at the key it's in the off position??  turn the key and all lights and check sequence? and it starts????


anyone else had one turn itself off, or was I able to not turn the key properly travel for 35 miles before it decides it don't like it... never had this before

Pair of Givi arms for 05 FZS1000. Condition not important as long as not bent. Really I only need the right hand one to make some alterations to. ( on the off chance that someone might only have a right hand one for whatever reason).Thanks for looking.

A mate at work pointed out yesterday that only 1 of the bulbs in my tail light was on. Having taken them out to check them today, it seems theyre both twin filament bulbs, but, like the headlights, only use 1 filament on either bulb (so the 5w is on on one of them as a tail light, and the 25w comes on on the other when you pull the brakes). Is that normal, and if so, is there a known mod to use both filaments on both bulbs, like there is on the headlight?

Hi,this is something you may not have dealt with. Bike accident and i not at fault. Bike taken from scene by police to a temporary recovery depot until my insurers recovery team can pick up. Told insurers recovery team were it was and they said ok leave it with us. Rang them a few times and they hadnt picked up. Then when i rang again they said bike been disposed of and at first blamed me for not telling them it had to be picked up in 14days. I asked for the calls to be pulled up and let me hear the conversations. Then a few days later they rang and said its their fault and have done a cap valuation on bike but it was a silly amount. I was never informed at any stage about options to buy my bike back. Does anyone know were i stand on this?

I am trying to plug in a PS2 into my tv but the ps2 only has phono outs Red White Yellow and the problem is those sockets are at the back of the tv which is on the wall and although I managed to get them in it can not stay like that.
But i have accessible connections at the bottom which I can get to, the first 2 pictures are from the tv manual shows how to make the connection so I brought a 4 pole 3.5mm/ 3 phono in the last picture and plugged in but just get lines on the screen and a buz with very low sound of the PS2.

Although the manual shows the tv socket as being a phono it is actually a 3.5 socket like the one on the far right marked HP which is for the headphone.

So what am I doing wrong focers
