Okay chaps, after a month sat in the garage the thermowax unit on my FZ1S seized up again.
So after stripping top half of bike to get at it, then forgetting to detach the return spring tab and spending half hour trying to retrieve it with a piece of bent wire, and then graunching and drilling out one of the two retaining screws, which I should have greased last time, before stripping/freeing/lubricating/reassembling it, then putting everything back together (no bits left over, whoop), has anyone any bright ideas how to stop the bloody thing seizing up again.
On the upside, bike now starts and idles as it should from cold so happy bunny ...
So this is my fuse box at home, its a very large house been divided into flats and each flat has a fuse box like this. I want to know which fuse is for what? I am assuming the 5A fuse is for lights? What is the red 30A fuse for? is the blue 15A for wall sockets?

Having passed my test last year I've booked accommodation for a week's trip north this summer - heading from Cambridge to Inverness and intend having a wander round the most northern parts of this green and pleasant land.
[color=rgb(51, 51, 51)]after wanting a Fazer for so many years but never finding the right bike at the right price , i finally found one in may last year .[/color][color=rgb(51, 51, 51)][/size]I loved the 250 mile ride home but after owning a bit longer i dont really like the bike , the seat is a pain when out a good ride , theres a shudder at times when decelerating or light braking and the i hate the clutch on the bike , i cant afford to change it as i spent my savings buying it and on top of that it dropped it at very slow speed when i hit a diesel spill and took a chunk out the fairing , sorry all you fazer lovers but it just not the bike for me :'( [/color]
Anyone have any recommendations for cleaning crap off of textiles? I went for a decent ride earlier and my jacket is absolutely caked in road grime/salt etc
I chucked it in the washer on the hand wash setting but doesn't seemed to have shifted anything?
I'm not sure I can put it on a hot wash so does anyone have any other suggestions?
Thanks
After taking it off the market to sort some family stuff out, I've now stripped off my GPS/Autocom and it's up for sale again. I promised I won't take the advert down again
cheers

HI
brought this of Luke / Devilsyam about this time last year as my lad wanted to start coming out on the back of the bike so needed something 2-up capable (and my KTM 950 SuperEnduro wasn't it!), but now looking for something even more 2-up tourable. An FJR1300 is current flavor of the month, so this needs to go.
It's one of Luke's / Devilsyam builds
53 plate, 39,500 (ish) miles,
MOT until September 2017 (no advisories on the last one),
V5 in my name, at my address, nothing to hide, feel free to do any HPI type check you want to.
Powder coated frame and wheels,
The paint is in really nice condition and kind of sparkles a bit in sun light,
Tony Archer custom seat (REALLY comfortable),
MIVV Exhaust
R6 rear shock,
Rental handle bars,
Braided brake lines,
laser cut metal radiator protector,
Rear hugger,
Tinted double bubble screen,
The side panels, radiator side covers and hugger have been carbon dipped,
Pazzo style adjustable levers (not Pazzo but gives good idea what they are like)
LEDs in the indicator and Neutral tell-tale lights
Belly pan and front mudguard extender in same paint
AIS removed
DNA Security marked
Currently it's got the stock mirrors on but have a set of bar end ones with mirror hole blanking plates if you'd prefer. The bar end ones actually give a better view, but won't give enough room for my autocom switch. Happy to put on what ever you prefer.
I put the gearing back to stock when I got it, as the front was lifting too much two-up, so got a very low use +3 rear sprocket to go with it.
90-degree tyre valves make life so much easier!
Unfortunately no service history. Did an oil/filter change at 36k so will need another in ~500 miles
I can leave the Givi arms on, but top box and plate will be taken off as I'll need the for my new bike. Could be sold subject to separate negotiation.
Pictures show my GPS mount and Autocom which will be taken off for my new bike.
I'm in Fleet, Hampshire.
£2,500. If I put it on ebay classifieds I'll put it up for £2,600 and allow them to knock me down to £2,500. I don't mess around, and believe this is a fair price.
Test rides are OK with full cash amount in my hand.
I paid £45 for them delivered last week and used them on two rides. They work perfectly and do the job, I just cannot get on with them. First £25 gets them.
P.s please all keep your mucky pics off this post or I will end up in the naughty corner again
I'm planning on buying new rubber pretty soon and I was wondering what everyone here tends to go for? I'm currently considering Dunlop Roadsmart 3's since they seem to have very good reviews. Also does anyone use a non stock profile for their tyres?
