Was raining pretty much all day yesterday. When it cleared up in the evening, took the bike to go to the store while there was still a mist. Found out that going about 60 and quickly turning my head right and left clears the visor pretty good on my HJC helmet Nice!

Its no wonder your called Didlier twisting you helmet about while riding a motorcycle at speed, but what the F--K is all that 9 in your name about???  :eek


Weather was beautiful here yesterday (Good Friday) 16 degrees plus here from about 10-30am onwards, had a great ride from home to Hindhead in Surrey through to Haslemere out to Petersfield and on to West Meon to Loomies biker cafe. Some really nice looking much loved machines there. Grabbed a coffee and chatted with some guys about a Triumph T120 Bonny 1963 model that was proudly on display in the car park (Not sure why I called it a car park there was not one car in there) the Bonny was in absolute pristine condition, unmarked in any way.

Stripped and cleaned the front brakes, found 2 pistons in each caliper were not moving and each outer brake pad was down to 0.040 thickness!
Left them in bits while I get some new brake pads, the ones that were in I think are oem, say sumimoto on them and are GG rated, any recomendations welcome, looking at EBC grade HH .

One of the first forum I subscribed to wanted me to have a number in my login (or maybe Didier was already taken, I forgot), so I added '9'. Now, I use that by default on most forums, makes my life simpler... In extreme cases, I have also used didier99, didier999 and even didier9999 one time  

[size=1em]Weather here this week end is perfect for me to finish my taxes, if you see what I mean.[/size]
It is just as well as it does not take very much to distract me away from this fascinating endeavor. I have an R6 shock and dogbones waiting for me in the garage...

Only had my 2002 model, 2003 registered Fazer FZS 600 for a couple of years and i'm not really a scratcher, so, the suspension has not really been a huge problem for me but have often thought that the back could do with a bit more control over what is happening back there on faster bumpy bends.
The R6 Shock that you mention, any more information would be helpful.


Cheers didier9 or is that 99 or maybe 999, stop stop now! FFS!.  :lol

[unfazed]

Chicken line! what chicken line?  un :lol
Please God can we have more dry days  :woot

Tommy,

What prompted me to look into the rear shock was riding my daughter's new FZ-07 for a few days while my bike was in the shop for fork rebuild. The FZ-07 was very much planted in the rear compared to my bike. Going over the same bumpy turns that I am well used to, her bike would go over the same bumps without changing line, where my bike would require corrections because the rear wanted to go wide. I regularly read the yamahafz1oa.com and 998cc.com forums and many people on those have made the R6 shock upgrade and generally think fairly highly of it, considering the modest cost.


I bought a (like new) R6 shock on eBay for $50 and dogbones/washers sold by a guy on the west coast for $40. You need new dogbones because the R6 shock is a little shorter and you need the washers because the lower bracket on the R6 shock is a little narrower. Aside from being a better device, the R6 shock also has fast and slow compression damping adjustments, compared to the single compression damping adjustment on the FZ1's. Now I only need a week end (hopefully) to do the conversion.

Beautiful bikes!


I am anxiously waiting for a bike show on April 13th near Mobile, AL (about 90 miles from here). I am going with a friend (a real bike nut, he has 35 of them...), should be a nice ride!

I thought that once you removed the sidecar the chicken strips would go.
'Chicken Strips' sounds like a bucket meal from KFC  :lol
