I'm running a 2007 FZ6 Fazer S2 as a commuter weapon. Parking at work the bike is in shade until about 2PM. As the sun comes on the tank I'm getting petrol fumes venting from the tank breather hose along with the odd drip of fuel. Should I be worried or is this just a function of the fuel warming in the tank and evaporating? My other concern is tyre wear - the bike is 7 months old and still wearing the original BT020s front and rear which have now done 2000 miles. The rear tyre has about 2mm of useable tread to the wear bars. My daily run is 27 miles each way, 16 on B roads and 11 down the M4 to Bristol. No hard acceleration, not using more than 8000 rpm in any g…

Was running EBC HH pads in standard R1 5VY calipers gripping standard discs, which were a slight improvement over the OE pads. THEN a Friend got me to try some TRW LUCAS (German spec) front pads, and once bedded, THEY REALLY MAKE A DIFFERENCE!! Any of you out there want some grippy stuff, then I suggest you try these, you will be ammased at how good they are. (not tried the back ones, Coz standard pads will lock it anyway) They retail for about £23 a caliper, so not too expensive either. (not tried the back ones, Coz standard pads will lock it anyway)

Hello Everyone, Just thought I'd add this topic as a helper for anyone wishing to install their own autocom system (my local dealership wanted to charge me £90 to install mine) I've installed and set my system up on my 2006 FZ6 Fazer and am more than willing to help others set theirs up as well. To be honest this isn't that difficult but it can look a bit daunting as in the pack you get what looks like mountains of wires and a booklet that doesn't really give you much help as it is really ment to be installed by your dealer but it only took me about two hours (one hour of which was taking off my fairing) so not long at all really right I got the mid …

Hi there ewerybody! My name is Sebastijan i come from Slovenia (Europe ) and i am a new owner of Yamaha TDM 850 (1999). I ride bikes for Years (i am 35 years old). On my first day with TDM i managed to get to the edge (on the tires).....so i guess it realy is "Funduro" as some people describe this bike. Having years of experience wit MX bikes help me a lot cause driving a TDM requires a combination of riding styles ( MX and Street ). Previously i rode Suzi RF 600 R - 105 HP, Kawi VN 1500 Classic - only 64 HP but 330 kilograms and some of the MX bikes. Best regards to all Sebastijan
