I don't know why it's taken me a good 6 years to finally get registered onto this site after lurking around in the background, but alas, I've done it. I've been on an R1-engined Yamaha for the better part of 10 years, where my daily was my 07 R1. I purchased my Fazer Thou back in 2017 when my now wife grew tired of riding pillion on the non existent perch of the R1. It now serves as a commuting and winter hack, although since working from home post covid lockdown, the only ever time it comes out is when the R1 hibernates between October and March, which is a shame.


Nevertheless, what with having kids and having a family who mountain bike, it's very difficult to get to spend Sundays scratching B roads and pootling over into Wales. I wanted to part with both bikes and get a Tuono V4, but the all day comfort and relatively simple maintenance of the Gen 1 meant that I'll end up keeping both. Both have clocked over 52k miles and both are on their second engines - Spun big end on the R1 and failed thermostat cooking the original Fazer lump at 44k miles. Two litre class Yamahas with vastly different characteristics and personalities. Makes me wonder if I should just get a 5PW R1 as a garage stablemate.


But yeah, just thought I'd say hi. 

Hi all,


Was wondering what specific parts are needed to de-restrict the bike in the carbs when it's been restricted with the official Yamaha kit. I've been scouring a bit on the forum/online but not much specific info to be had, does anyone know the exact part numbers?


Or perhaps it's cheaper to just buy an entire new set of carbs? Found one online for 80 euros, I can imagine buying the individual parts 4x might quickly add up to around that...


Thanks.

Hi everyone.

We often go on weekend getaways where we can relax, watch some gay porn, and just enjoy each other's company.

Noticed an odd constant noise appearing to come from the front of the bike the other day. Decided to investigate as had a window between the humdrum everyday tasks bestowed upon me in retirement. Off with the brakes/wheel etc, bearings are fine and in good nick, likewise nothing else binding, so decided to clean  and check the bobbins while the wheel was off too. All back together ok, so at this stage I'm putting my money on tyre noise. Curious though, I did note that the noise disappears when ridden over a solid metal grid/drain cover etc

Just bought a tracer 9GT and become a 3 bike owner

Happy to say I still only have one bum albeit a big one

I see on a lot of US bike related stuff that they use a signal tapping on the top of their helmet to let other riders know there are police up ahead,  think in some states it might even be against the law.I have never seen it in this country though as there is not a recognised signal apart from maybe flashing of headlights which can mean anything from cows in the road or you have left your filler cap open on your car :lol it is useless to try and flash on a box eye anyway :rollin

So for people that use the Blackwall Tunnel route for work, or if you commute in london, you may want to sign this petition.

The consultation is running until 5th November - click below to find out more and respond! We stopped them before, with your help we can stop them again -

Nearly three years after they were first proposed Camden has just put out a new consultation on motorcycle parking charges.
We know this is disappointing news but remember this is the fourth time Camden have tried to bring in charges, and every time riders have stopped them.
They’ve provided very little information, and what they have provided is not clear - we have asked for urgent clarification and will update you as soon as we have it. What we know so far about the proposals is

Camden Council has just put out a new consultation on motorcycle parking charges -

? parking permits for residents', businesses' and doctors' motorcycles to cost the same price as cars
? solo motorcycle bays charged at £2.60/day (£2 for electric) costing £600/year for a commuter
? riders living in 'car-free developments' face charges up to £950/year - more than any car
? residents permits to nearly double from £75 to £146/year (£139 for electric)
? introducing motorcycle business permits at £419/year and doctors permits at £326

It appears Camden no longer plan to ban commuting with £6/hour and maximum stay limits in solo motorcycle bays, which is a positive sign that they are listening. But the charges are still absolutely outrageous so we need your help to fight the plans! And whats worse, Camden dont seem know ther backside from their elbow when it comes to thier own policy. Visitors on motorcycles are charged more than commuters & residents....

Camden tried to do this in 2020 and riders managed to stop them - we must act together to stop them again - please share this post and spread the word to all bikers.

Hey all! Thank you for accepting me admins    I’ve recently acquired a 1999 FRS600 Fazer which has been stripped of its fairings and headlight and looks like a cafe racer now… love the look! I just wanted to ask a few questions, I’m looking at getting some after market levers, some replacement sintered brake pads and some frame sliders because I’m looking to make this a track bike for getting used to dragging a knee hehehe. I’ve looked online and can’t seem to find much after market for any of these apart from a K&N air filter replacement and some rubber trumpets. If anyone can help with links (Aus based for reference but I don’t mind at this point) it would be appreciated!
How do these hold up as track bikes after the years¿ what should I watch out for in terms of maintenance as a track bike, any tips¿ thank you endlessly in advance!

That custom exhuast.... :eek
