My FZR 400 doesnt like starting, sometimes it starts no problem, but most of the time it just doesnt want to fire. When it does start i need to hold throttle half open for it to idle, any more or any less it just cuts out. It clears after a while of holding it at tick over, tonight it was running on 3 and then suddenly started running on 4 then went back to 3, it runs ok after 4 thousand revs. Just wondering if anyone could help me? Thanks.

Hi everybody I'm new here , got myself a XJ900F 3 years ago , and have had some fantastic trips to Norway and the Alps , on it. Now the exhaust needs CO-adjustment , and I was hoping someone in here knew where to find the right CO % for an -87 model. Haynes manual dosn't mention anything about it. Cheers Steen

We stayed over in Potes in Northern Spain for the first night, riding south past a huge lake that was as still as…

Pocket Tazer Stun Gun, a great gift for the wife... A guy who purchased his lovely wife a pocket Tazer for their anniversary submitted this: " Last weekend I saw something at Larry's Pistol & Pawn Shop that sparked my interest. The occasion was our 15th anniversary and I was looking for a little something extra for my wife Julie. What I came across was a 100,000-volt, pocket/purse-sized tazer.
