Yesterday I stopped at a pelican crossing, heard some tyre screeching behind me, then got rear ended by a combo van ?


Bike rear end is fucked and I'm OK other that the back and shoulder strain from sudden inertia and kepping a 220kg bike upright.


Getting an SV650 loan bike and someone's coming to collect my FZ1 for "assessment"


Anyone got any idea how long these things take from recent experience? Back in the day you had to go round three garages getting quotes.

Hello.


I've read somewhere that you can go up one tooth on the front sprocket to lower the gearing without changing either chain or rear sprocket  (bikes only done 15,500 kms so in excellent condition)  if I can then I guess one with a cush drive would be best ? has anyone done it, and recommend a particulat sprocket... any help appreciated.


It's just to try out as we have long roads and sweeping bends here, and it'd be nice to drop the revs a bit.


Also for some reason since I joined,  I can't use the search button..


Thank you

Once i have done them i will have to re balance the carbs i presume ?

has anybody any experiance with yss rear shock for this bike they look to be good value price wise  thanks in advance

Evening folks,


I know similar questions have been asked, but I'm currently doing the advanced training with IAM and wanted to check as I'm not entirely comfortable.


What revs or gears do you use at different speeds on the FZS600? General revs in any gear when out on a ride?


Before this, I'd normally run at around 4k comfortably, so 3rd at 30mph, 4th or 5th at 40, up to 6th somewhere over 50. I've been pulled up on this & told to be in a lower gear. They recommended I look up a power graph and tried to keep it within peak power, but I didn't find anything definitive. As a rough idea they said at least halfway to redline.


On my last run I tried that, running around 6k, meaning I was in 2nd at 30, almost up to 40. I forget the rest, maybe 3rd up to 50. It felt horrible revving like that, especially in built up areas.


Am I being overly sensitive about my engine, do other folks run at 6k in anything below top gear?

Hi all!

First bike was a Honda CB400. Haven't ridden since 2020 but finally back on two wheels now, with a 2011 FZ6. When the weather's really shit I'm in my Fiesta ST.

I'm based in Manchester (but from down south). If you want to go for a ride around the Peaks/Lakes/N. Wales etc feel free to message me or reply here!

Well, shit.
I went on a short ride, and then decided to change coolant. The procedure went well, but when I started the bike after, it sounded like there was a loose change flying inside. On top of that, it goes away when bike is upright, or tilted to the right, but when its on sidestand... https://youtube.com/shorts/utgc3JnkoxU
Any thoughts?
