Had a little accident and need to replace the front right indicator. Are they side specific or can i get either left or right side to replace it with?

Just out of interest, does anyone know what sort of maximum surface temperature the head and barrels reach on our engines?

I have just performed a coolant change and something under the tank got me confused.
I have 3 fitting ones with the isolation valve and 2 others which have a pipe loop between them over the rubber drip catcher?
I don't think this is right but as i have never had a problem fuel wise i am confused. The tank gurgles quite a bit though!
Some one explain to me if this is right.

Anyone have one they want to sell? Needs to fit a 2004 FZ6, would like a PCV ideally, model 22-014...

Hi Foc people, Please forgive my ignorance but would grey gasket sealant on the valve cover rubber gasket indicate that it has been off before.
Also where can I obtain feeler gauges that measure 0.11 (intake) and 0.21 (Exhaust) both the minimum gap but mine are extremely close on cyl 1 (only one checked so far) and my gauges are in increments of 0.05mm.
Thanks

Hi guys
Can anyone help me and tell me the dimensions between the holes for vertical & horizontal.
I need to check if it's close enough for fzs1000 03' dimensions.
Cheers

Mornin.
I have a puncture on my front tyre. I've taken it off, to also repair that pesky speed sensor that's had the tags ripped off, and now I'm looking to replace the tyre.

Any of you guys ride repaired tyres or would you just replace the tyre?

I've got matching Bridgestone BT016's, would you buy like for like to match my existing rear or get something else? Any recommendations...

Many thanks.

Nothing to do with me but there is what looks (as far as you can tell from photos) to be a nice Gen. 1 1000 for sale in Crook, County Durham, (that's up north for you southern chaps). Silver, 18k miles £2500 (reduced from 2650) . Check out gumtree for details. Repeating myself here but I don't know the seller and I've never seen the bike in the flesh so it may be a heap, but it looks alright. Please don't ask me to put a link to it, I still  struggle with toasters !

Hi guys

Some of you may or may not know that I am an admin for the UK Motorcycle Theft Protest  (UKMTP) and that this weekend we had our awareness ride in central London. I was leading a group of 80-100 bikers from Greenwich Park to Westminster Square. The ride was slow (10-20 mph) at all times (1st gear) lots of revving and horn beeping with lots of attention and eyes being given by the public.

However sadly as I was getting so close to Westminster my bike was incredibly hot, it was a hot busy Saturday in central London with no filtering and it got to a point that I could not shift the bike into natural, and then later on even with the clutch level fully pulled in and engaged, i still had to hold the brake lever otherwise the bike would start moving forward.

As soon as i turned my engine off though straight away it could go back into natural, and after the whole bike had a chance to cool down and i was on the way home (normal riding) the clutch and gearbox were fine with no problems.

It was annoying as i replaced the whole clutch less than 1000 miles ago so I can't seem to work out why it goes all messed up when its hot.

Hope you guys can help.
Thanks in advance.
