Hello everyone, Im new to biking and to the site, iv been coming on here every night for the last 2 weeks whilst iv been waiting to pick up my new bike. Picked it up on wednesday its a FZ6 S2, already done 400 miles, i love it. Its restricted at the moment but i was just wondering if there is a big noticable difference when you get them de-restricted? either on the top speed, acceleration or both? Cheers

Once again the age old excuse came out I got knocked off my bike last night , some p**** pulled straight across front of me without even slowing down . i'm now laid up in bed unable to walk , damaged ligaments and muscles in both legs from knee down . amazingly i've not got so much as a scratch anywhere else thanks to leathers , and my legs would have been much worse but my boots took a lot of the impact, how anyone cant see a yellow bike with headlights on when its getting dark is beyond me . anyway my fz600 is now a complete write off , only had it a week , and it looks like im gonna be laid up for weeks til i can walk right again , doc said my left leg should …

Anyone know if you can get the short GP style exhaust as per on the later R6's to fit my 2004 R6? Think they look a lot nicer than the standard 2004 can Cheers

I am going to be buying a 87 or 88 fz 600. its only got 5,000+ miles on it. i know about dirt bike, however this just so happens to be my first street bike.

Hi I have recently bought a new fazer fz6 s2, this is my first bike here. Looking forward to summer for some rideouts / day trips. CAn anyone suggest how I can find out about rideouts? thanks

Hi All, This week I am taking my class I test in Glos so to get there I took the covers off the Divi and ran it the 40 or so miles from here (Worcestershire) to there (Glos) as usual it didn't like the winter lay off but on the way back ran as it should but as a note to others don't forget if youur bike has 'been to bed for the winter' don't forget to check the tyre pressures and if any of the calipers have siezed up. I didn't have these problems but as I was running down the M5 I had to recollect if I had checked these items out ... or not ! Well the Class I went ok (only managed 1 snafu) but as the test is on Friday I have a bit of work to do remembering how t…

Heres one for the hardcore among us... I bought a voltage regulator off fleabay for my FZR, old was is on the fritz. New one is shown in pic. but there are a few characters different compared to the original Old one reads:- 47X-A2 SH569A-12 T4.D 261 Anyone know what the difference is? Will this one work ok or could this be part of the cause of my ongoing problems? The listing def stated that item was from an early 90's FZR600.

Does anyone know how to get a light scuff mark out of the rear plastic, I caught it with my boot getting off the bike over the weekend, and being gloss black looks worse than it really is, any ideas?

Hi all, Thought I let you all know about a good find that i've had. If anyones after a new set of leathers for the summer i'd try Cissbury Leathers in Findon, West Sussex. I've just got hold of a brand new RST race suit for £200. Granted it's last years model but who cares right?????? They were £400 last year and i've looked all over the net and the closet thing to them is £300. They've got various colours. Also got a pair of RST GP race gloves for £42 (reduced from £70ish). Interested...... it's www.cissburyleathers.co.uk Cheers, Foxy

My pride and joy has been stolen from East London last night, only 3 weeks old! BLACK AND GOLD, REG: EY09UUH. 500miles on the clock. I doubt it will be found but I thought its worth a try posting the info. I dont know how they hell they took it. Alarm, cover, chain, must have been lifted. Anyone else suffered from this?

Hello all, Just joined the site after purchasing my 2009 R6 last week. It should be ready for collection after they fit the alarm and R&G tail tidy (obligatory purchase). Then all I need to do is bed the motor in and i'll be ready for the summer. I'm dying to get other bits for the bike but fear a divorce will come after it took me 2 years to convince the wife that I NEEDED a brand new bike. Stay safe, Foxy

heyy i have bought a tzr 125 and am currently taking it to bits and polishing it and generally cleaning it up, i just wondered if i could have the 3 clock instraments instead of the 2 that are on because personally i think it looks better. thanks for your help
