might be just locked in there, I think that was what Paul was saying. maybe the chain is too worn. Can you pull more than 1/2 link actually when its on the rear sprocket? has the brake lever dropped because return spring come undone?

foams, just weld a nut onto the stud it'll come out no probs. best to shield the rest of the engine though so no splatter gets in there

just about to PM you

capt, i got one here 1/2 mile where you live. thought you had a charger? bring battery round as its screwed onto the wall

good buy, after a paint job, will look really good

relays are very reliable, fitted 2 to the tracker to facilitate micro switches. buy them from Maplin. you will also get zero battery drain, and you need all the amps you can get feeding the pilot lamp

batteries tend to be fubarred if they drain down below 10v. there is a battery place on Bright road near you where I got my Gel battery for the FZ http://premierbatteryservices.co.uk/ he's a sole trader so delivers himself, give him a bell first

I've signed it, but what difference it makes is anyones guess https://www.change.org/p/minister-of-transport-reduce-road-tax-on-motorcycles?

the hardest part will be to find somewhere to put it securely its just a heavy duty switch using small amp electric to activate it (the switched live in this instance via ignition key)

to the forum

good buy and fairly local too Just got another CDI for the XJ engine, £5 so now I have 3

def use a relay, activated on a brown switched live

first thing OT said when I picked up the FZ, watch you don't put the pilot lamp on!

I tend not to use clutch on up changes as it changes a lot better

and head bearing tightness

Dragon breath

liam where are you from? just update your info for us

that's a looker I see you already have 4 pots on there so apart from aesthetics, no real benefit IMHO

that's what I thought, was useful for me. Capt, didn't see flames but wasn't looking for them either

great stuff, to post pictures, you need a photo account and copy/paste the IMG link into the text box. don't post on this thread, start another thread

just found a couple of dvd's I got from Bikesafe Stafford a few years ago. about security,maintenance etc https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PL2C6A453FD87F9978 This is very well done and worth viewing just to get you out of bad habits and learn something maybe? https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PL616897D41D21893F

yea, but he ride just to there is really good and I don't like stopping. may be we go the long way round and find a suitable kaff

when I go to stafford, its usually the little chef near the A500 where we normally stop

loved it,took me back to when I first rode my 1st big bike ( a Honda CB900 from a kh125) I see you live 2 doors away from my friends house (the Rose's) wait till you use all the rev range on acceleration
