I have met quite a few in recent years who have complained of not being able to down change smoothly and discussing it over a few beers realised they did not blip the throttle and had never even heard of it. The instructors they had did not teach it after trying it they do not understand why the instructors did not teach it. :rolleyes
Doddsie, if blipping the throttle is not making your gear changes smoother it may be that you are over doing it.
As you say Midden, emergency braking is different, mostly because you may not have the time to drop down the box.

Braking, that was about the ONLY time I used the foccin brakes :lol

Had an optimistic rummage through halfrauds' bargain bin today, and found some Ferodo Sintered pads for £2 a caliper! Score!!
Re: what did you do with your fazer today ? - JZS 600 - 16-11-13
Go Halfords!
I use the ferodo organic myself, hard to fault

Just come home from a slippery ride out across the trough of bowland. Not ridden the fz1 for a month, been on the TDM all the time.
This ride did nothing but re kindle and reassure my love for the big fazer. Loved every minute of it!
Re: what did you do with your fazer today ? - steeeve66 - 16-11-13
Took exhaust off with the intention of wire-brushing the rust off the clamps and painting with something to stop them rusting again (got some exhaust paint from Halfords, but if anyone knows of a better product please let me know...) and found the support bracket just behind the Exup had broken off - will need to get it welded back on. Guess it'll be a few weeks before I get to ride it again, arse!
Re: what did you do with your fazer today ? - ChristoT - 16-11-13
I did 140 miles on the ZX4 today (a tankful, exactly!). First of all - OW!! I wasn't used the the cramped riding position, and by god, unfolding myself off it hurt! Second, my tyres are fucked, the rubber isn't heating up properly, leaving to some "oh fuck!" moments round roundabouts. I swear I lost both front and rear, and got a little drift on one! :eek Wasn't even going fast/leaning it much either!
Other than that, it's a great little thing. Top end's not as good as the Fazer, but the fairing gives better wind protection, and ducking down also means you get to enjoy the induction roar... :lol

The title says "Fazer" no ZX4 :lol

No ZX4 forum, and the ZXR forum isn't as sociable

Yeah, yeah, I know. Still, I haven't committed the cardinal crime of saying the ZX is better than the FZS - yet!

Is that the best bike you could get hold of with your insurance issue?
And what you paying?
Meanwhile I fitted a gorgeous set of lower fairing panels, and by 'gorgeous' I mean a plastic sign I found in a skip cut up and using metal brackets from the hardware store bolted on to the radiator and crash bungs!

And there I was thinking the Stig bit of your forum name was to do with The Stig from Top Gear. In reality, you appear to be more related to Stig of the Dump!! :lol Don't forget to paint tiger stripes on them, then show us a picky
