25000 miles and no adjustments. OEM all the way!

Cheers yoshiki! I've currently got Givi V35 panniers fitted. Managed to find a video on youtube.com showing an Arrow exhaust and givi panniers fitted - I'm hoping he didn't have to do any modding to get the racks to fit!

Well after some research it seems the Arrow exhaust has the same part number for the 04-06 as the 07-10.

Just seen this on eBay: Arrow TITANIUM silencers - Yamaha FZ6 Fazer 04-06 only on eBay (end time 17-Mar-11 20:07:41 GMT) My question is, will it fit my 08 FZ6 S2? Any thoughts appreciated! Clark

I have left my Oxford Heated Grips on before and no, they did not leave me enough juice to start the bike. I ended up going back into work and Googling how to jump start. Thankfully I got it started and got home. The Oxford failsafe is crap!

I've got the Givi V35 panniers fitted. So I'm guessing this exhaust would fit with my V35s as they clamp around the stock plastic exhaust cover. Win!

Will do. I've put down 100 miles so far in damp conditions, taking it easy. Need a nice dry day to ease them in.

'Tyres R Us' in Eastleigh, near Southampton. I don't know how he gets them so cheap. Must buy in a truckload! He had mine in stock, I just rolled up and had them done that day.

Update: I've now had a new set of tyres fitted, Bridgestone's BT023s. I went to a different garage to the one I bought the Maxxis tyres from and you'll never believe what he found in the rim .... a RAZOR blade! My front had a gash in it which must've flipped the blade up just as my back tyre...

I've just had some BT023s fitted and I'm sure they've used a mould-release agent because on the way home, in the rain the bike felt like it was slipping all over the place. I was doing 30mph in a straight line and the front felt like it was moving away from me. It has since improved after more...

I've finally managed to replace my Maxxis Supermaxx after the rear blew. I've gone for the BT023s, only put down 25 miles so far - will report back once I've got a few more miles down. £199 for the pair fitted.

I've had them on for about 2500-3000 miles, beginning to square off slightly but masses of life left. Just pushed the bike off the road into our car park, not easy pushing a bike with a flat tyre! Made it feel 300kg plus! I was quite calm at the time, it was when I started thinking about the...

Update: Blowout! - should I contact the manufacturer? Had a blowout earlier, thankfully at low speed in a straight line, still shook me though as I'd been doing motorway speeds only 5 minutes earlier. This is the first time this has happened to me. Should I head back to the place where I had...

I've had a search but didn't get a lot of joy. I'm thinking of an aftermarket exhaust, ideally one that doesn't require any modding to fit with my Givi V35 panniers! From what I've read, the Leo Vince seems to fit without any trouble. Are there any other (more budget friendly!) exhausts...

Just found your post while searching for 'London riding'. I'm on a course on Monday 11th up in central London, Moorgate area. I've never ridden in London before. Have you got any tips? Or should I just get the train? Thanks in advance! Clark
