ah the dilemma, I took an xsr 900 out for a test and its the bees knees for me, but I still have the FZ. It all comes down to having the ready cash. I think I'll still do the change over next year. It looks like the model gets cosmetic upgrades, so the solid platform is constant. nothing else...

Hi I don't have anything concrete to pass on but I would say that each bike will have it's own peculiarities and what one bike will feel normal another will be high/low. I would think unless you are happy to service the bike yourself, have it serviced by a dealer to put your mind at rest that...

OH MY GOODNESS END OF AN ERA!! Wow, I never thought I'd see a parting of the ways. Now if Randy and Scott sell up I'm gonna wonder if this bike is defective or something..LOL Well I am kinda speechless as I figured you were in for the long haul - now its Wolfman and me down under, Nelly in...

what a hoot

I had a flickering in my low beam but high beam was OK, checked the wiring and the horn wires had rubbed and worn through the insulation, re taped and I thought all was ok. issue started again and I finally found that the plug on the actual lamp had been shorting and the plug had melted. when...

I have been on an R 5 on the rear for about 6 months and its a solid tyre. The front has been a PR4 that had plenty of life but last weekend I it checked it and it was cupping badly from road camber. I thought the 4's were pretty good but as soon as I had the 5 on the front the dynamics...

When I did my exhaust I hit those screws with an impact driver to loosen them first time I took them off. I had read somewhere that they are pretty soift but well seated home. They have a funny stepped metal washer that goes into the plastics so you want to be careful if you drill them out...

hey Cliff, I see him in traffic about once every three weeks. Last time we talked he couldn't recall is log on last time we were on the same road I saw him as I hit the indicators to turn up my street- I'l catch him int the next few weeks and have a chat

Cliff you are a true treasure to this site and riders in general. I recently met a young guy who knows this site and has joined but I can't find him on line..... Anyway when I talked about the site he mentioned "this great dude" who's icon is a monkey with a stick. I burst out laughing in my...

Hiya, When I was starting to look at the noise issue I undid the cap on one can( drilled out the rivets) and found that the packing is incredibly tight and I found that it was hardly scorched even tho I had been running them for 18 months and I bought them from another member who had them on...

I didnt pack it tightly It is enough to disrupt the exhaust flow, but not impede the flow and create loads of Back pressure. I havnt measured it, but compared to the tight packing of the complete can, I figure its about 5-10% density. The packing in the main part of the cans is really really...

I stuffed my inner baffles with stainless steel exhaust packing and wrapped the baffles with fibre glass woven matting, that worked really well

Maybe see if anyone is parting out a bike and has a rear sub frame and just change the whole thing out if you are heading back to a stock look

Rachel's sister is as a mean little operator so Tracey needs to watch her back I heard her name is Sharon and she lives by the credo "Paybacks are a bitch"

I've been using Flare Audio plugs for a few years now: https://www.flareaudio.com/collections/ear-protectors The isolate minis fit nicely under the helmet. Bit pricey to begin but hey I have million dollar hearing only in my left ear and 20 cent hearing in my right- so I protect what I have!

....and you love it... Yeah?
