Hi. For sale I have a pair of scorpion cans. These are the old type which are round not oval. They have done 30,000 miles on the bike but look really good for it. Being stainless steel all round they polish up nice and fresh looking. I'm ordering some new clamps at the moment as the bolts have...

Sounds pretty normal. Few brakes don't rub slightly and can make a small rubbing noise that sounds a bit like metal on metal. Or a chiming noise. Best to check the pads and make sure there's some meat on there though, and they shouldn't be binding (where the wheel barely rotates by hand and is...

I had a guy spit at me just as I was overtaking him. It didn't miss. He apologised when I confronted him in traffic and i just let it go as an accident. He was smoking too. Getting really revved up and having a massive argument usually makes you angry for the rest of the day and ruins your day...

I've had a power commander but I didn't get it dyno'd and used a pre programmed tune. Although it still won't ever be ale to fix the throttle issues regardless of dyno time. I've found a company who have done an fz6 both first generation and s2 in the uk not too far from me. I will have to give...

My thoughts exactly! Do you go up box hill much ?

Just wondered if anyone here has had their ECU reflashed for better throttle refinement. I'm seriously considering having mine done but its going to cost me £300 minimum. Quite sizeable considering how much I really want a new rear shock. Any info would be greatly appreciated, I'm sure someone...

I have the same bags I inherited from my old man. They have either 2 or 3 velcro straps that I put over the top of the seat and 2 straps that goes under the tail section of the bike and attaches to the other bag. Ive had mine stuffed to the brim and been absolutely fine but they are a bit saggy...

Very jealous indeed

Are you asking for one for free?

Hi, my pads drag slightly but not that much. I find that if you take the bolts out that the calipers slide on clean and degrease then regrease, that helps. Also once you have taken the calipers off and refitted try doing a handful of really hard stops at low ish speed to help the calipers re...

Getting overtaken by a white Lamborghini that was doing a million miles and hour just to filter past it at traffic lights 30 seconds later

I have sw motech risers inch back and up on my fz6n. I love them. I used to get a really bad pain in my shoulder after long motorway trips brut now it's gone. I tried riding without them recently and it really highlighted how much more comfortable it is with them on. Some have claimed the...

Cheers for that mate.

Hi guys, I'm going back to stock exhaust for a while due to where I'm currently living (too noisy at 6am!) I have arranged to buy an exhaust off a chap but it's come off an s2 and I have an 05. I'm assuming there's no differences but I know there are extra cat's on the s2. Any help with...
