I've always worn earplugs when riding and have always brought a job lot from earplugsbypost.com  It's that time again when I need to by a new pack.  My current ones  are 3M 1100.


Always good to have new ideas, so, what do you use?  Either disposable of those "posh" molded ones.

I decided to take the plunge and service my Exup and what a nightmare it's turned into  :'(
i think the previous owner had decided to service it himself and possibly may have lost some of the components upon dis assembly and the decided to just bodge it back together, the only plus side to this saga is all the bolts came out easily. Firstly the pulley centre bolt had been replace with an Allen bolt which rubbed on the inside of the cover, then there was no washer but there was a spring which was half worn away, then there was no spacer at the rear instead just the worn remnants of a stepped washer and the bushes and valve worn very badly.
I managed to get a good used valve and front plate off the flea bay but the front plate has snapped cover bolts so I think my best bet is fit new bushes to my plate and downpipes but they look well tight in there. Is there any easy way to remove/replace the bushes or would it be easier to drill out the snapped cover bolts on the replacement which is a good fit with the exup valve then all I've got to do is replace the rear bush on the downpipes
I've attached a few pics to show what I found, the 1st one is what replaced the rear 3mm spacer

I have aftermarket down pipes and a standard end can on my FZS600 and there is an additional link pipe between the two which has a hole in it.


Anyone got one spare they want to sell?

Anyone had this before?...just received an email advising that bike Insurance would be cancelled in one week with no reason why in the email. I went to a link it sent me which was a letter they have posted to me where it says last insurers have failed to issue proof of NCB.
I have proof from last insurers but no-one has asked me for it!
Not sure who are the biggest toss3rs...last insurers or new ones?
Will I now have to declare having an insurance cancelled?

Is there anyway to tell which weight oil I have in the front forks while I'm changing it?
I know the bike has had MCT treatment and is uprated from standard but not a clue what they have put in it?
I don't want to replace it with a lower weight oil then have to strip them again to re-do it?
Any ideas?

Fitted Ktech 9.5 linear fork springs 10wt Castrol oil and away I went..took an hour of stop and go to get adjustment set for me (spring


preload 2 rings compression and damping 10 clicks toward soft)


Can't begin to tell you how confidence inspiring the bike feels now..went through the twisties from Malvern to Ledbury then Monmouth


to Chepstow and on to Usk..Taking bends is so easy,no drama with corner braking no drifting wide just planted.


Thanks to all you guys for the advice..still got some minor adjustments to go but springs are well worth the money :rollin :rollin

Hey guys,


The FZS600 is gone, but some bits remain which may be of use to someone else. If anyone wants a carb set or fuel tank lock, I'm open to offers. Anything in the pics below is available. Items are in Watford, Herts. I can post to anywhere in the UK for P&P, or you can collect.
