Hey there, As I was pulling into work today I noticed my rev counter being a bit of a nob. While rolling to a stop in neutral I spotted my rev needle snapping to 0-1,500-4,000 rev point while bike just sat there in idle, I'll have a link to the video in the bottom, But basically wanted to know if it was a sign of something bad or if the clocks are just on their way out. Or it may very well be a perfectly normal thing, I dont know. http://youtu.be/I3_f8fwTvNU

I have a 2001 fazer 600. Just wanting to know what people expect to get from miles wise from a tank of fuel. Had it one week so far and I've covered about 200 miles by my estimate. Is this standard or should I expect more? Main reason I ask is that I plan on doing a tour in summer time and having for this bike for £600 with 24k miles on clock trying hard to find something wrong with it.

I've just joined the forums and my reason for doing so is pretty clear. After a year of riding a 125cc I have finally upgraded to a nice 2001 yamaha fazer. and it was love at first ride. Yet to name her though, I think after a week of riding and getting a feel for her I'll have a name. I like doing work to my bikes as I think its part of being a biker so i'll no doubt use this forum to ask pled and possibly beg for assistance while i rip out hair. Only thing I have planned to do to the bike at the moment is apply a jack up kit as previous owner was a short ass. Good riding, and i'll no doubt talk to you guys more.

Depends on budget, If all you want it for is in case of emergency you can go for a sub £50 camera and mount it to the front fairing or wingmirror/bars These are usually low video quality but its good enough to tell who is at fault in a crash. low video quality means that you can record for hours and battery will usually last longer than full HD cameras In the £100 mark you have 3 good opitions. The first is the Drift HD 1080p which is an outdated camera but can still be purcahsed for the £100 mark on amazon, it has good quality and its slim frame makes it ideal to be placed on your helmet. Also in the £100 budget is the GoPro Hero which is part of the latest realease of the GoPro series of cameras. Their video quality is outstanding the cameras are highly robust and I know from personal experience how much of a beating they can take. I personally love these cameras as their value/quality is unbeaten in my honest opinion. The one flaw to go pro cameras is that side mounting them on your helmet is a bit of a pain as they quickily become a massive sail so you will feel the wind pushing your head to a side when riding with one on. And if you want the out right best with a budget of up to £400 you can chose form the GoPro Hero 4 black or the Drift Ghost S which both offer fantastic video quality and good battery life. Here is a little picture of what I use. Dispite the flaws of the GoPro they are good cameras and I wouldnt use anything else. Picture is 2 of the GoPro heroes (£99 camera) and the GoPro Hero 3 silver (£200ish mark camera)
