Was out delivering flowers for my sister to day and  had some time to kill so popped into Webs at Eye, foc me, I hardly recognized any of the bikes, was very surreal

Seen this on eBay ..Maybe someone is interested

Has anyone got a good EXUP cover plate they want to sell? I need the plate which bolts to the collector box and has one of the bearings for the EXUP valve shaft in it, not the shiny tin plate cover which "protects" it from corrosion, yeah right, course it does.

Anyone?

Just got kitted up and ready for a ride maybe to the  ponderosa, maybe delemere, will see, so see you out there guys

The last week or 2 I have noticed water has filled around the rim of my fuel tanks filler cap when I have opened it to fill with fuel. It never used to have water collecting there, so I can only assume there is a blockage in the drainage system from the filler cap. I reckon water has got into my fuel tank too, that would explain why the low revs stutter has returned.
My question is, what should now be my procedure? How do I make sure water is removed from my tank and do I need to drain the carbs? If so how do I do that?

This is not advertised anywhere else at the minute as I'm still kinda in two minds about getting rid of it.

I'm based in Worthing, West Sussex and would recomend that if anyone is interested then they come and view the bike.

So here's a link to my original posts on here which kinda detail the bikes history and evolution since I first bought it.
http://foc-u.co.uk/index.php/topic,19427.0.html

It's got 28,000mls on the clock, MOT expires 30th of July 2017.
Both Tyres, chain and sprockets are good with plenty of life left in them.
It's got a Hagon Rear Shock that has recently been rebuilt by Hagon at their factory so is spot on.
I rebuilt the forks with new oil and seals at the begining of the year.
It has a full set of Hell Blue Braided Brake lines recently fitted and of course fresh brake fluid.
One off comfort seat with leather cover.
Larger Givi Touring Screen fitted but also have a lower Blue screen.
Black Engine Bars
The Bike has had the AIS removed and been Ivanised.
Recent full service with Plugs, Oil, Pipercross air filter and fresh antifreeze.
Stainless Steel Exhaust System (so no more Exup valve to worry about), stainless exhaust studs fitted and a Beauwolf end can.
Givi rear rack (Top Box Not Included) and standard Blue Grab handles so can be returned to standard if preferred.
Two keys and original owners pack.
There's also probably some other bits I've forgot but you get the idea.

Anyway I'd be looking for around £2395 as it stands or £2000 in standard (or as close to standard) as I can get it, i.e. without the extras that easily bolt off.

Reason for considering the sale is that a mate is giving up biking and has offered me his bike at a price I'm struggling to say no to, especially as his is more touring focussed and I have a few trips planned next year which his bike would be much better suited to.

Went to visit my mum today, when iam there I like to help with small jobs around the house if I can, no jobs to do today exept to clear the spare bedroom of stuff she has collected over the years that she no longer has a use for...we did come across a picture she bought whilst on holiday but cant remember where it was......shes in excellent health but at the grand old age of 84 her memorys not as good as it once was......your help please gentleman, could be somewhere on the south coast west of southampton but not 100 % sure........picture taken on my phone so not the best quality...

Any suggestions ?

Just a heads up in case anyone fancies getting out tomorrow morning.Turn up at any services on the M25 by 11:30 ish,preferably wearing a red t-shirt/sweatshirt over your jacket.The aim is to have a ring of red around the M25 at 13:30.If you google M25 Ring of Red,all the details are there.

Does any one on here recomend a helmet cam and if so , how much and where from and how do they fit etc, as I am looking to getting one for future trips on the Fazer and even the bike with no engine just pedals ............................................!!!!


thanks guys
