Good intel DT! Both pistons were a biatch to compress And the chap in the shop asked me if I used my rear break much because my rear pads had completely gone in 1 year/5000 miles. He said they should last longer. Caliper rebuild +fluid change then this winter!

Guys, Just changed the rear pads. Plastic cap off, split pins out, pins out, old pads out, push pistons in, new pads in ..... jobs a goodun. What are those thin shims for you have to put on the outside of the pads? Also anybody know a good howto to get the damn pistons back in the calipers? Got there but the must be an easier & quicker way then mine :-)

Well you don't know that. Your opposite number may have put in a top bid of 65 quid. At £1 increments £36 is the next one up. As drewpy said, if you really want it and cant watch 't puter all day go Goofbid : http://www.goofbid.com/

Lock picking.
Further to this have any of you ever ordered a spare key for your Yam? and where? Reason being, in order to unlock my seat PO has cut 3/4 off the top of the key to get in behind the side pannier brackets. One of these days the wee hole he's drilled in the remainder for the key ring is gonna go 'pop' and opening the tank is a biatch. Thanks.

v55/5 form filling in
What he said. !! Google importing a bike into the UK, follow all the advice, open online account with HMRC, do NOVA --> all comes to nuffink anyway. Duty to be paid = 0 Happy days. (know its a faff but keeps the pencil pushers happy and its a doddle) FJ flew through (the 650 + 250 before that)

MOT time for the FJ tomoro
Happy days albeit by a ladygarden whisker. The gent was of the the opinion that the lead of my heated grip on the throttle was interfering on full right lock and hence could not issue the ticket because that was dangerous. After explaining that there is enough length on that lead under the tank or short of that taking the tank off and unplugging the damn thing and lead it somewhere else, looking at the clock at 16:55 that was not an option. Ticket isssued Driving home in the dark + driving rain and wind, not seeing a thing thru my screen was far from enjoyable.

Standing by for the dreaded phone call then :-)

MOT time for the FJ tomoro
The mot/bike shop put a new set on 2 months ago so all good + all split pins accounted for. The only unknown is the condition of rear swing arm bushings.

Never hurts to give it a generous treatment with Muckoff and a soapy wash so she's looking the dogs dangelies. Should be all good .... famous last words.
