  1. Hi ya, if its your pride and joy its well worth the investment as i mean i have 4 recording cameras 24/7 3 lights outside 1 alsation and locked gate at side of house then shed locked and bike locked with disc lock and chan and lock and to finish off it has a meta 357t v2 on the bike.maybe a little over the top but hey i really dont want it nicked as to much hassle claiming. cheers, gsx 1250 fa st.
  2. Thank you all,i can live with it as its not that bad but just at certain revs but love the bike as looking to due more touring this year hence why i got rid of the yamaha xj6s for a bigger machine with the luggage, many thanks again. GSX 1250 FA ST.
  3. Hi all, dos an injection model bike still need to have the injections balanced like the carbs do on an older bike? as my gsx 1250 fa st 2010 model. may be running slightly rough as when i rev the engine up their seems to be a lot of viabration coming though to the fronf fairing some how unless its how it should be? cheers all who answer...

  5. Hi all, as for your comments thanks but having doubts really as never had a suzuki before especially like the 1250 fa st but its a big jump from the xj6s yamaha 600cc so not sure what to exspect as not a fast or mad rider at all.cheers. wallywant xj6s.

  10. Hi, jus a note to ask xj6 owners within a couple of years other side of mine as to ask how fast should you be going in 6th gear and doing 3000 rpm as i seem to be doing around 35 ish which i think is right but would like a secound opinon please as it seems to want to faster as when doing around 60 mph i open the it up it seems like it want to go flat out with out changeing gear to get their if it makes sence.cheers for all replys. wallywant xj6s.
  11. Thanks slice.yeah me too drive a car as well so wont put my bike or my self at risk during winter months due to weather but will of coarse cover exhaust for time its not in use. xj6s.
  12. Hi all, happy xmas & new year. I wont be using my xj6s much over winter so was asking in stead of storing for a few months do you think it will be ok to start up and run once or twice a week till I need to use it.as I don't want to put it to sleep for so many months. Many thanks for all reply's. cheers xj6s.
  13. Thank you every one as all sorted now, the old nuts were rusty and edges pretty worn so was lucky to get off with out any damage. so now all looking clean and with stainless nuts and while it was off I paint the front half of the engine with heat paint and to say it looks good if I may say so my self. cheers xj6s.
  14. Hi.looking at removing my exhaust on my xj6s to clean up and paint and remove the stones that sit on top of the exhaust just before the box. Would you recommend that I replace the manifold gasket x 4 or could I reuse these? although my bike is approx. 30 months old but before I had it its been used in the British weather and tarnished it.also thing of replacing the nuts what hold the exhaust on to the manifold with stainless steel ones. Would this be wise do you think. many thanks. xj6s.
  15. I currently have my camera on my handle bars on the xj6s though the screen but was thinking is this practical or would you put it on the side of the crash helmet for better performance bearing in mind it may fall off? not sure really what to do. Cheers for the advice.
  16. Hi ya all. why would a chrome exhaust change its colour on a sports bike compared to a cruiser? as not sure weather its use or how hard they get put though their life time.its just a shame they seem to tarnish. many thanks for reading and replying. wallywant xj6s.
  17. Hi, copy and paste your own question and put it in Google and it come up with similar stuff you may be after from the R1-forum.com site. Hope this helps.
  18. Hi, my xj6-s came with Dunlop Sportmax Roadsmart's and have changed them both now after 8000 mile but still had around 3m left on them but don't like the flat in the middle so now on maxxis supermax diamonds and find them ok with no problems.hope this help.cheers xj6-s
  19. update, sorry slice never had the time to take bike in yet due to bad weather so not been able to help yet. But as for drewpy about the side stand and starting I have tried this after I wrote this post and to find it starts better than it does on the side stand so I believe its some thing to consider for future reference as after all the xj6s version has a centre stand so will use it. thanks all.
  20. Drift cam all day long in my opinion, as I use the HD720 but will be upgrading soon to the ghost version as then can use a mike in the helmet also play back on mobile phone via an app you can get for free.
  21. Thank you slice, should be taking back to dealer on Friday to drop off for a few days so they can here it for them self's so its good for me as still under warranty. Cheers.
  22. Hi ya, thanks for reading my post. I have a xj6s 2011 model Yamaha and done approx. 8200 mile now and noticed even more than usual on start up even the next day that it sounds like a bag of spanners for a few seconds in which I don't think this sound right? it has new oil and filter and I think it may be because the oil is not staying at the top of the engine after use so their for causes this to rattle as it does. once warm after a few sounds its fine but just concerned about this little problem I have.any ideas please?
  23. That's all to much hard work. I purchased one of these for my xj6s have a look and see what you think. Thanks.Sealey TC965.ebay item no:-140663801481
  24. Hi twincle,that was a near miss.and thanks for the video and information on cam. don't seem to bad for the quality of picture you get for a 720p.will consider it more in the near future. Cheers again.
  25. Hi has any 1 on here used 1 of these or got one as would like to know how well they perform as currently use a drift hd for the front of bike but was considering using this for the back of bike? cheers for reading my post.
