Cheers,quality input To be honest 'if' I get a fly screen it would partly be for ascetics but I'd also want it to be functional..in still in 2 minds whether I think they look good or not lol. Sod it..I'll treat myself to a rear hugger instead

Possibly looking to purchase a fly screen/wind deflector or what ever else you want to call it for my xj6n Now at the best part of a hundred quid they ain't cheap so do they actually help as in deflect the wind off you,make high speed more bearable or are they just there to look pretty?

Got an xj myself . What did you pay for the rear hugger? Mine already has a tail tidy and a couple of other bits..agree on the wheel tape,I've got white on mine(on white bike) for a few quid it really sets the bike off. May change the indicators and get the belly pan and headlight cowling colour matched as well

been humming this for a while now tbh....hasn't helped though lol

great response on this guys...thanks took the bike out for 20 mins today and relaxed and kept the grip 'loose'..no issues this time,will be out for a lot longer tomorrow so will see how I get on then,will adjust brake position also I think these grip puppies seem to have a good rep by the sounds of it

I take it your riding now with no issues then?

Sorry to hear about your dilemma but phew!! I think my problem isn't that severe . Some very interesting feedback from the replies I've had some I'm sure the answer is in amongst them somewhere. It may be worth mentioning that I never get any issues when I'm on my mountain bike!!

Full time as in all the time? Like when even not riding? Doesn't sound good at all well mine only appears when riding and is fine any other time ...

just checked these out on ebay..I think ill try all the 'non' cost options first then go to those as a last resort..

???wheres my post I just wrote ffs lol

Chances are your probably right,the confidence goes up each time I ride so hopefully I'll 'learn' to chill out abit and relax . Back out for a good ride Sunday so I'll most certainly be these putting these pointers to the test

Try to be as relaxed as I can,only suffer this when riding but I'll be seeing a physio soon for another matter so may get him to check it out

....I'll also have a play around with the brake lever positioning

Cheers,I've had it with different gloves so I think I cdm discount that. I'm new to riding(well the last 20 years anyway)so it's a possibility I'm riding quite tense. I just would of assumed I'd have it in both hands!? I think next time I'm out I'll make a concerted effort to really settle down but I'll most certainly find out a little more about that syndrome you mentioned . It's annoying coz I get it after 15 mins or so and it's taking some of the enjoyment out of my riding. Thanks

Hope everyone's had a great Christmas Ok basically when ever I ride I always suffer pins and needles and a painful numbness in my throttle hand. I've tries to relax my hand when riding but it hasn't helped(had the same on my bike lessons aswell)I don't get this in my clutch hand at all,it's bearable but certainly isn't pleasant when riding Any advice???

as the title says im after some pointers on chain care do you clean off your chain before re oiling it..how often...what type of oil do you use? / my bike is only used for pleasure so isn't out in all weather but still want to keep my chain none the less thanks in advance...oh and happy Christmas everyone

cheers guys...ended up buying a set off ebay(cost me a tenner) that comes with 4 different sizes, gonna see if one of them fits this morning fingers crossed

Yeah they look quite bad ass in black,good choice I'm liking the twin headlights on the triple,what's the horse power on it?

makes me think twice about taking the bike out now glad you and the bike are ok though

Nice bike the street triple,even contemplated one myself but always favoured the xj6 overall What colour have you gone for?

cheers,yeah ive probably got half the tools pictured in the ebay listing and yes its the tool on the far right im after. I don't think it warrents 25 quid though just to get that one tool,the rest are pretty standard tools but the shock tool is pretty unique

mines a 2012 abs version btw...

hi ive just checked my tool pouch on the bike and theres no rear shock adjusting tool with it,i rang my local yammy dealer and they don't actually sell then seperate(you have to buy the whole tool kit at £51...sod that )he even said the bike may not of come with one in the first place now ive seen a few on ebay but they're all different sizes so could anybody tell me the correct spanner size or even where to get one from?? thanks

awwww cheers guys managed to get out Saturday and fair to say I totally loved it,had a good few hours ride...couple of biker cafes with a couple of good friends. ..but wow!! I have soo much to learn as far ridings concerned but we've all gotta start somewhere right?! such a shame about this crap weather but I really want to get out and improve my riding skills so hopefully another day out this weekend and Christmas eve if im not working. and as far as the bikes concerned its perfect for my needs,nice ride position,plenty of power for a novice like me and love the look of it aswell..so chuffed all round
