You can model your body position on a range of bikes, I've put my values in on a boxeye, it's an accurate representation.

well that's it, in 7 days we emigrate to Australia, hence why ive not been on here... we have a list that each time we tick off it gets longer.
anyway the bike goes in the crate on Tuesday and wont see the light until some time in January.. that's if some pirate aint buzzing around on it.


are there any aussie members on here in the Perth area??


its been fun biking in the uk for the last 32 years on and off...now to do it in sunny climes.

This is going to cost a few bob to put right. On the owners own admission he has had the ECU reflashed to enhance performance. So is not going anywhere fast now is it!!! Well fucked.

My mates fazer 1000 gen 1 sometimes when stationary at lights and the engine is getting hot, some of the lights start to flash, it stops when pulling away.... Any ideas before I pull it apart.

Can anyone remember off hand what colour the live is on the coil,  thanks

I ordered four float bowl rubber gaskets for my FZS600 from Wemoto yesterday morning.
They arrived lunchtime today. Good service !!

Hi guys

Bit of a story here. I was in central London having dinner with my friends, afterwards I returned to my parked park which had been there for about 3 hours, it was a cold evening so when I turned it on it struggled for a few seconds then cut off, no biggy, I simple turned it back on and it started and stayed on fine (obviously revs were low as engine was cold).

I then went to the back of my bike to take my chain off my back wheel, as I knee down on the floor some drunk moron ran over to my bike and rev'd ridiculously too much, he completely redlined it and probably bounced it off the limiter.

Of course I got up to confront the drunken idiot who I told to get lost before I wrapped my chain round his skull (I was very angry at what he had done) after he left I couldn't help but smell a burning smell around my bike, the smell quickly went away and after 10 minutes of just letting the bike tick over on its own without revving it at all I rode home (20 minute journey) and it didn't seem to be performing any differently.

However I'm a bit of a worrier and I care a lot about engine health etc, since riding mopeds at 16 I have always let my bikes warm up before taking them onto any roads where high rpm will be required and I have never redlined a bike in my life. So as you can imagine, my worries right now are all about my bike and any potential damaged the idiot could have done redlining my bike from cold (it was only on for about 20 seconds).

Was wondering what anyone thoughts were?

Sorry for the long story, I just really wanted to get the whole thing across.

Thanks.

Just a quickie on how much would it be to have my carbs balanced, or for a kit to do the job myself ?have tried a google on this with varried results
but how much have peep on here paid to have it done, or is there someone close to Chester with a kit that could come and show me how to do it

thanks

Paul
