New mirror from yamaha will cost you bout 50 quid, 14 quid labour on top of that. They isn't the cheapest of ones i can tell you. I lost one on my XJ6S due to being parked on thawing snow.... dont ask.

I swear by engine bars. I dont think i'll have another bike without some sort of protection cause of the great scottish weather
-
You not like engine bars then?

Hey, nice to see someone so close me for once!
-
im usually 2nd and 3rd for my XJ6, keep it low but not too low in the gears, you still do want that instant response incase something bad happens.
-
that looks real tidy!
-
ebay has loads of stuff that might help you. just search XJ6, but before that, tell us about yourself in the noobs section?
-
haha i'm not Bit scared haha but i suppose you need to try one day?
-
I donno if this helps cause i'm up north but i found its anywhere between 45-90 per panel, depends on size and level of damage. Get the colour code from yamaha so that you Dont have much of a colour change (keeps insurers happy), of course it'll look cleaner and fresher so it'll be different. Donno if thats any help

Would i be wrong in saying, if he goes over several very large bump, the tire could loose air from that tire?

Try Ride On Motorcycles in Glasgow, i know its not edinburgh but they fitted my DefcomT meta system alarm

I think you scared him...

If she was drunk would that not mean she was then liable? or were you just doing stupid speed?

Sorry i was away up north this weekend. Am looking for something that will do 6000 miles or more and still allow me to be confident in the corners.
-
might i ask why?
-
what about balancing the rear tyre? is it quite difficult or should i not worry about it? I did look about and found the tyre's cheeper and also found a garage that will fit the rear tyre for 14 quid.

What sort of grip quality you get from them? I'm not looking to get down on one knee.... yet maybe but what about in the wet and crap?
-
I told him i'll think about it. Just back, I dont even want to post how much it cost me. Is it usual to replace the oil and filter for the 6000? Also i was running around with a cracked front brake disc, he said it cracked when he took it out the brake calliper. Hmmm, I dont like this yamaha garage too much. Also now my heated grips aren't working, he says he replaced blah blah blah and its still not working so its a warranty claim but he says am gonna have to pay for labor to replace them.

Hi all, want other people's opinions on replacing the back tyre. I've just had my 6000 mile service and my back tyre needs replaced. I'm currently running on Dunlop/Roadsmart 160/60-ZR17 (69W) on the rear and they want 130 for the tyre and 29.95 for fitting. What is other peoples opinions on this? Am I getting the piss taken out of me or should I replace with a different tyre? Blah, the opinions, thanks for your inputs in advance I also had a wee look at the Michelin Pilot Power. Anyone had any experience?

Afternoon, where abouts in scotland?
-
I'd do the same if i had a drum for fuel, am gonna fill my bike up tomorrow
-
I've got them, they do work well

Is buying an alarm for a bike worthwhile? (fitting on an XJ6N)
David Baker replied to XJ6NRIDER's topic in Naked
After what i've been through i agree with you. I got the datatools and metasystem defcomT fitted to my XJ6, cost a fortune all for a bleep bleep when you walk away. Didn't have it all a month and the thing wasn't working properly. You can sit on the bike and it wont go off. Big locks are the key but Cynic is right, if they want it, they'll take it. Save the money and put it to better use. -
Weathers crap and i'm needing to work as well. Was looking forward to hooking up with some other bikers. Just need to wait to the sunnier days i guess.
