    Thermostat install

    TOG suggestions...

    Although I'm not a big fan of TOG's, all the damage I've ever incurred to my FZ are from 0 MPH tip overs.

    S2 Front Wheel "Free Spin" video

    I've posted several times about the S2's front brake seals, over time, dragging. (S1's not so much as they have half as many pistons) This (IME) is due to rubber hardening up, grit, grime, seals don't allow the FOUR pistons (each disc) to retract. The below video was taken today, with...

    Computers and technology.... :(

    Hi Fred, this is Alan next door. I have a confession to make. I've been riddled with guilt these past few months and have been trying to pluck up the courage to tell you to your face, but I am at least now telling you in text as I cannot live with myself a moment longer without you knowing...
