Evening all, hi there from a Noob in West Yorkshire (Ilkley to be exact). I just bought me a foxeye Fazer, absolutely delighted as my first big bike back in 2001 was a Fazer, got rid LONG before I explored its full potential so really looking forward to playing with one again. If the f***ing rain eases off for long enough, all our roads are flooded right now....

Hi all,


Am interested to know if rather than looking to add mods, anyone has decided to remove them all and go back to stock setup?


Just for background, I've got a Fuel silencer (no exup - sounds great), removed flies, high flow filter, AIS blocked, power commander V and autotune, smaller front sprocket, but I don't feel I've gained anything in the rev range I normally ride in.


Don't get me wrong, the bike is a rocket at high revs and I've possibly fallen into the mod trap trying to get something out of an engine that it's not possible to get - i.e. nice low range torque.  After all, an engine's character can't really be changed without serious work, simply tuned for best performance, but essentially same 'character' if that makes sense.


All I seem to have done is reduced economy quite a lot (small front sprocket) and not really improved normal riding for the type I normally do.


I'm actually thinking the bike had better torque when I got it and I'm seriously considering removing everything and setting back to stock (auto-tune etc all going back on ebay I guess) even with original exhaust and exup etc.


Anyone else gone through this, and did you feel you'd done the right thing going back?

I see  Guy Martin has said he is done with the TT now, great rider and competitor and I for one do not blame him for saying he has had enough.
Respect.

just had a phone call this morning from my old insurance that a old bloke is making an injury claim?
had an accident last year on my bike as mention before on here,jag
he pulled out as I was moving onto the roundabout and he stopped suddenly in my path so I just clipped his bumper.
we settled it without making any claim or no exchanged of details etc.
now the old git is making a claim for injuries what I dont know.
how the hell he got injured if I just clip his rear bumper?
I told them (old insurance) we just clip his bumper and he was perfectly alright 3 weeks later when wee went to pay him.
if we had hit him hard dont you think we would of made a claim? also we never came off  we just stopped and waited for him.
5 f'in months later I get this?? bastid.

I had an epic blast this morning,  half 4, empty ish motorway and the wind blowing so hard I could barely stay in my lane. Suddenly a leaf, a big ? type thing splats me right across the visor. I nearly pooped myself,  the thing would not come off. Proper stuck on and my thick winter gloves were useless for clearing the crud away. 
Proper scarey moment

Please take a look at the video (or listen). It started sounding a bit strange - sort of tinny, higher pitched (hard to describe). I haven't noticed any other symptoms. I've recently done a service including new plugs - the noise was there before and after.


I did notice a tiny bit of exhaust leaking from a rusty seam between the pipe and muffler - could this sound be linked to that? I expected it to be a bit more throaty if it was (this is more nasal???)

I've some how managed to increase the size of my desk top so that I can barely see the lower icons (speakers, internet connection etc) and web pages are also to wide etc

I've looked at screen size etc and the computer says I have the right settings for my monitor, so why can I not see it all

Do I need to use the F keys and alt and or control or something similar.

Thanks in advance
