Like them on the gs or other type bikes. has anyone fitted some with any success ? are the cheap ones any good?

i sold my 12 plate blue fazer 8 about 18 months and only realised now just what a good bike it had been to me. I traded it in and another local bike shop took it and sold it in their shop instead. I was never going to be happy until I got it back so took it for a test ride and it put a great smile on my face. I pick it up next week.
I issue I have is going into corners I feel the front wants to tuck in. Is this normal for the 8 or is it the tyres. I am thinking of changing them for PR3's. any thoughts on tyre change?  :rolleyes

Hi Guys

So my Fazer 600 2000 has a Micron end can, stainless steel downpipes and link pipe, it was pretty much silent.
I wanted to give it a bit of a growl so have cut the end can from what was 19inch to 11inch and removed the baffle from the link pipe....

Holy crap it is insanely loud as pretty much a straight through pipe now, now wearing ear plugs  :'(
Regrettably i would like to reverse the effect and quieten it down a little and thought I'd start with the link pipe.

If anyone has an spare link pipe sitting around, please let me know will obviously pay

Video to follow tomorrow...
Regards

Hello guys


Been riding bikes for around 9 years and currently own a Suzuki SV1000 but should be swapping this for a Fazer very soon as looking at a 2004 Fazer 600 on Sunday :-D

Hi Guys,


Mr Stig can't get on line at the mo but has asked if anyone if doing the ACE cafe toy run this Sunday?  If you are and have his mobile please contact him, if not, post on here and I'll let him know.

A slightly leftfield question here, but after a career swerve I now work as a tree surgeon, I have got the main tickets and am working regularly for one firm, just starting to do work up in the trees. In order to expand my experience I may do some subcontractor work around London - for which using the bike would be ideal. My forum request therefore I whether anyone has any experience of carrying around a chainsaw on a bike safely, ideally without removing the bar and chain, so something which encases both, is secure and ideally allows me to lock away some gear on the bike while I work, so I think a hardcase pannier system, no topbox as most of my climbing gear fits nicely into a haul bag which I would strap to the back of the bike..


Any ideas appreciated.


Cheers.

So because Im fed up of my stock exhaust, and it has a massive dirty great big dent in it, I bought this: http://www.pipewerx.com/yamaha-fzs-600-f...haust.html


Housemate fellow biker is convinced that:


a) Im a hooligan and going to deafen everyone in the world (he says with his de-catted straight through BMW R1200  :rollin )
b) its going to cause serious fuelling issues and make the bike run so lean that it melts the pistons or something


So my question to you FOCers is am I going to potato the engine? If so what do I need to do to prevent said potato-ing of the engine. Its my understanding that Fazers tend to run hella rich as standard, do I really need to get my carbs re-jetted because that sounds like a lot of hassle and expense.


As far as I know the bike engine/carbs are totally standard. Only thing in the system thats not standard is the K&N "high flow" air filter, and soon to be this exhaust.

I read about this in the evening standard on the way home and just watched the video online. There are some nice people about. :rolleyes
