The speed is slowing down again.
Why does this happen I am a few forums bikes and others but this has to be the slowest of the lot,
Below is a post from the MT09/FZ09 forum which I have just been on. It is as fast as fu-k any chance we can change.
Oh must admit the MT09/FZ09 forum has not got the craic or banter that we have here. I am not moaning as I enjoy being on here , just asking the question.

Hi Everyone. I just moved the site to a new faster server with SSD drives. Let me know if you notice a difference in the site speed or if you notice any bugs

I've been having a bit of a problem with my wrist and was wondering if any of you guys use a quick action throttle on their Thou' and does it make for an easier ride?


Thanks,. Mickey

Hello there,

I've just come back from a long run up to the lakes on my 2009 Gen 2 FZ1S and gosh, my bottom is sore! All those poorly surfaced B and unclassified roads. I need a better padded, more comfortable seat. I hear mention of a factory Yamaha 'Comfort seat', but cannot find any for sale anywhere. Does anyone know where I can get one, or are there other options?

Thanks in anticipation, he said, somewhat stiffly.

Hi all


Could you advise me which would be the better upgrade for the rear shock. This would be for touring 2-up.


I would guess at, with everything loaded and the two of us on the bike, would be around 28 stone / 178 KG (shhhhh, no comments please  :b )


is the R6 or S1000RR likely to be better?


thanks

Recently I did some maintenance with chlutch, and after removing cluch basket I have seen that oil pump drive chain is very slack. Is it normal or I have to replace it?

Hi all,

I'm 35, based in North Devon and learning to ride. Mod 2 test booked for 24th July!!
Fazer in my garage and needs a little love. Service, carb tune and MOT and good to go. Hopefully it will fly through the MOT!

I can't wait to get my mod2 ticket and put some miles on the Fazer!!

Cheers

Well, after several other bikes, I've gone back in time and bought a 2003 Fazer 600.

It's in lovely condition, but being 14 years old it has picked up a few little problems in the 14,000 miles it's traveled.

Yesterday I had a go at balancing the carbs and sorting the freeplay on the throttle (there wasn't any!), will find out how good a job I've done today, I hope.

But there's one thing I need some help on - I suspect it may have been lowered at some point, it didn't feel like it wanted to turn and the side stand seems close to the ground when extended, I also seem to remember my original 2003 bike being a bit higher in the saddle, maybe I'm heavier and it's just squishing down more...... does anyone know what length the standard dog-legs are on the suspension?

Used to have a gen 1 thou and now recently bought an FZ6 S2 :-)

Anyone put extra weight inside their handlebars to damp out vibration, I've renthal ultra lows with RG end weights but there is still an annoying vibration there, I was thinking of kiln dried sand, lead shot or brass internal bar, approx. 13mm diameter by 150mm long. Any thoughts ?
