Good to hear its fixed
That would have been the first thing I did after the new bulb didnt work ie check the 'new' bulb with the meter.i checked it with 2wires on the batery, high beam worked, they only have two pins on them bulbs so didnt know how to check the lower beam if that makes sense

I can't remember how many years ago it was but when the petrol tanker drivers went on strike it nearly brought the country to a standstill. There was panic everywhere at the petrol pumps.
Of all the strikes this country has had I think that has been the worst. I was even using my lawnmower petrol to top up the bike. What really sucks is when the strikers hurt the innocent public, Their problem has nothing to do with us but it is we that suffers!
Going back even longer, I was working the pumps in the seventies when petrol was rationed to £2.00 per customer. There were nearly fights at the pumps by customers demanding more petrol. On a lighter side a lady driver pulled in and after filling her with £2.00 worth of petrol she asked me to check her oil, I pulled her dipstick out, wiped it with my rag and noticed that the oil was low so jokenly said "you need a longer dipstick"
"Do you sell them?" she asked.

i will put the tester on it tomorow just wonted a lazy way out thanks
thanks to you all for your help i took it to the docs he put new bulb in, no change so he put the multimetre and did just wot i did, comfirmed alls ok so he put another bulb in and yes 3 bulbs later. thought it was a loom prob: so thanks again for your help guys.

Course it can...but there again it could be another reason, it could even be that the new bulb jou put in is no good! you really need a wiring diagram (usually found in manuals), a multimeter and an understanding of both these things to begin fault-finding properly...otherwise its just buying other bits like a relay and taking pot luck
i will put the tester on it tomorow just wonted a lazy way out thanks

I appologises for the direct approach but due to having to cater for everyones tastes bike mags are not delivered as part of our Operational welfare package.

Any help will be greatly appreciated and all mags will be read many times.
Thanks,

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 be a lot better in a few days an should be able to get round on crutches then , but right legs is bugered at minute think thats where i went into car and think i landed on it too .
all because some moron didnt slow down and look before turning across my lane
hopefully its straight forword and you get like for like as you had it les then 3months well got well soon as the sun is up good luck

Hi everyone.
ive noticed that when passing other bikers they will nod or tilt their head to the side, kind of like the frenchies' "waving of the leg" greeting. just a casual observation... thought i would point it out, is this a nationally recognised greeting or just unique to a select few bikers?
same i nod too, scooters i dont but at the lights i do reply if they talk to me
my miss dont understand y but she likes it

Hi folks!
Great to find a forum with people that share the interest for Yamaha MC's.
After years with XL600R and later Elefant 750 - I was looking for something more "urban" and reliable to commuter to work in the city. I fell in love with the Yamaha MT-03, but was uncertain of it because I'm rather tall (1,90 cm).
Going to the local Yamaha dealer to test-sit one, it felt surprisingly OK.
After a good offer from the delaer I bought a new bronze MT-03 with Leo Vince exhaust ("low-power / 35 bhp instead of "high-power" / 45 bhp, because of local taxes, and because I have been told that it's easy to adjust it).
Haven't yet got it, because it's still plenty of snow in the streets up here in cold Norway.
Have therefore not even test driven it.
Exciting to find out how it's really like..... Really hope I'm not to tall for this rather small bike. Any tall guys here with MT-03 experience???Kind regards

hi welcome hope the roads clear for u soon ride safe

....is nor more!
i went out all afternoon sunday: Abergavenny, Talgarth, Builth Wells, Llandindrod, Newtown. Coming back i was riding through Hereford. Pulled away from a set of lights, a car decided to do a right turn straight in front of me. i wind up in Hereford County Hospital all evening, badly bruised - specially the family jewels went over the back of the car-with a somersualt. the bike has been recovered to 'who knows' and the last i saw of it, it looked very poorly. i think it is a write off, only 700 miles too!
oh well, onwards and upwards!
wont be sleeping much tonight tho!
think i know how u fill there dont b to down over it u r here to tell the tale im going back 2 work been off 24dec same thing happened did 6k on my new 08 xjr rite off. hope u r back up and ridding a lot sooner good luck
That would have been the first thing I did after the new bulb didnt work ie check the 'new' bulb with the meter.
stay safe
