The Bar

Hi all - just put deposit down on new FZ1-S Fazer in red, picking it up next week. Should maybe have asked before putting my money down, any advice for a new FZ1-S owner? Many of you in East Sussex - I'm interested in meeting up with folk for rides. Back to bikes after a long break so not looking for anything too ambitious. Look forward to hooking up with some of you soon.

Wonder if any of you have experienced the following? Bought an 03 R6 in march and it was nothing but trouble. In the end i changed it in at the palce i bought it for an 04 R6 in Ltd Edition kenny Roberts yellow, it had 1600 miles on the clock and is lovely. Only had chance to take it out a couple of times and second time was from Southend to St Albans and back. On the way there, banging down teh A127 and suddenl the revs start dropping and it's not responding to throttle input at all.

Hi all, Just got me a double bubble iridium screen and wondered what the stance is with the law and the tint of the bike screen. I know the visors for helmets are not legal but what about the screens on the bike? I think they are legal since you don't see through the screen @ legal speeds

Hello all, I am new here so lets see if you can help me. I have a 1978 xs400-2e, It was running rough and I rebuilt the carbs and cleaned averything good. It still ran rough. I took off the left plug and the bike stalled, I took off the right plug and it ran with very little difference. I took out the plug and started the bike and the spark is great,( I still see the blue dot in my eyes). The last thing I checked was the mixture screws. They had plastic caps to avoid anyone addjusting them, bot the strange thing is the the right carb screw had no tip on it. it was blunt. I looked in the carb and the tip broke off in the port. I can get it out, but I cant find a listin…
