Hi folks!!


Heard about the forum through a motorbike vlog on YouTube so thought I would join. Seems like good crack from what ive been reading so far  .


I have a 02 Fazer FZS1000 which I've had for about 2 years now and fall in love with more everyday  :b .


Hoping to get involved in some of the festivities in the near future !


Cheers

Hi All, I have a very irritating misfire or carb issue most evident at about 5,000 RPM in top gear (around 60 mph) . If I try and change down to blast past it it doesn't work. It's like riding a restricted bike!! Please help. So far I have tried replacing the fuel tank breather hoses and changed the plugs but no good. Oh and I seem to be down around 50 miles on a tank of fuel. Please can anyone suggest what my next best move could be? Many thanks!

Hi Guys,


I sourced my right hand mirror from a jolly nice chap on here but it came as a pair so I have a left hand mirror going spare.  It's been used and has light scratchs on the front plastic, but nothing bad, the mirror itself is in great nick. 


I have no use for it so in the spirit of FOC-U I'm happy to pass it on to someone who needs it for the cost of postage.


Please only respond if you need it, not if you are thinking of selling on to make a few quid.  :thumbup


Ta HH

Back on the air again, 5 days after that bitch Ophelia  :finger hit, we have seen the light  :woot
Power went out at 11am Monday when 2 hours of sustained 110KPH (70MPH) winds took out the main 10Kv line supplying the whole valley south of Cork Airport.
After much fault chasing by the Electrical supply linesmen and 7 faults later they finally fixed the last fault that had our power out.  :thumbup

Still hundreds of homes east of us still without power.

Glad I wired the house for a generator 4 years ago now,  at least I had light and water and the freezer was maintained to save all the  food in it..
The unfortunate side of living in the country is that the lovely pure clean water we have, comes straight out of the ground 35 metres (110feet) down and the 1 KW submersible pump was pushing the 3KVA generator hard on start up.
Must buy a bigger avr equipped generator with  to allow us use the other bits we would like to have working like heat and Internet

As new never used, no marks whatsoever!

£50 posted.

All withdrawn from sale.

Now in possession of a new Carbon fibre / Titanium 230mm exhaust - GP Style. From Black Widow.
To replace the standard 500mm Yamaha bazooka! :eek Should see (and hear) quite an improvement!

The 230mm Titanium is not as "fat" at the 200mm Shorty (I inspected both side by side). Slimmer, but a fraction longer.

The weight difference however between the two is substantial. The 200 is a good deal heavier, being stainless steel, compared to the lighter Titanium (0.95kg).
I understand its going to sound roughly as loud as the 200, having approx the same internal cubic area. Also fitted with removable DB Killer. :evil

The Slash tip I'm told can develop that 'titanium burnt blue' colour, which is infact due to a chemical reaction between the exhaust gases/titanium.
(compared to 'unnamed' exhaust cans that have been artificially coloured to simulate that look). Pointless fun fact.

Last year I changed to Bennets because my long term (always the cheapest ) insurance people got taken over by someone else and the premium doubled  :eek
I fully expected my 2nd year with Bennets to of increased by at least £50 and I would have to do the rounds getting spending hours getting quotes sending NCD proof, being called back, bombarded with emails from the high quotes I got online  ---------- but no its only gone gone up by £12. So they now still have my custom, makes a change to the usual 1st year new customer and then screw you next year.

Wanted to build something of a beast. My go-to Zombie Apocalypse bike. Almost put a rear wheel on the front but decided life was better than death.

Tools used:

• Angle Grinder
  
• Electrical tape
  
• Bloody fingers
  
• Youtube
  

• '98 Fazer FZS600
  
• Sydney, Australia
  
• 100,000kms on the clock and still runs like a dream
  
• Bought for $2k, parts $1,300
  
• Self built in countless hours, on nights and weekends
  

I have a friend who owns a 250cc Royal Enfield Continental GT that has a leak in the Fibre Glass fuel tank, the leak appears to be coming from some where around the fuel cock/tap.
Anyone know of a company in the South of UK (Hampshire maybe) that specialises in that type of repair?
