    Does any one know where the 2 rubber pipes that are connected to 2 tee connectors from the bank of 4 carbs go, the other 2 pipes coming from the carb 1 vacum pipe going back to the fuel tap and the other is the fuel line , the only thing i can find is a breather pipe connector at the front of the fuel tank. Having no air filters fitted or vacum pipes connected / crank case breather pipe cause the bike to be difficult to start and run erratic as is the case thanks Dave

    Folks See pic, 2MG cylinder head, the hole circled in red pen. What is this for? Any idea? A tell tale? There is one each side. I have a very, very, very, slight coolant leak out of one of the holes only, clutch side of engine. Machine does not run hot at all. Fine on a long run. It is not chucking coolant out of there, but leaking never the less. Just want to know what is up this hole! Doubt it should be leaking from there anyway. Is it an indication of a head gasket going?. BR, Julian

    As much as I love my little XJ6, I've taken quite a fancy to the FZ8N and was just wondering if anyone has one, or has any experience of what they are like? Husband rode an FZ1 and he said that, while it's a great bike, it's very twitchy and tends to be to the extremes of all or nothing with the throttle - snatchy acceleration and not particularly smooth. He said it's a bit mental Is the FZ8 like that too? Or is it a bit more 'rounded' in terms of rideability? I don't want anything that's hard work. My XJ6 is easy to get on with and I'm wondering if the FZ8 is just a bigger version, or is it more like a smaller mad-machine like the FZ1? Yes I know I really ou…

    I'm Interested in buying an FZ1 Abs but don't know much about it other than the marketing bumf (oh and the fact that it looks like the sort of bike you could have some fun on). Am planning to use it mainly for town (London), weekends trips out of town and also touring next year (France/Spain). Don't laugh but originally had my heart set on a BMW. Any comments, suggestions, warnings welcome. Thanks, Justin
