Nice bike man, not sure on paint scheme but you should see the mess mine is in! ha. You come up sherben ever? I've never been down ilkeston on the bike.

I'll crack the torque dial out then...

That might be a problem, it's my last week at work and I normally use my works camera. So I'll be sans camera until I stump up for a new one. Need to get my hands on the longer bolts. I've emailed the ebay guy but I'm not expecting anything, I'll nip down to the new SMC Sheffield at the weekend...

Ahhh, I've not got an S2 but I get it now! I'm going to need some longer bolts! I've got the ones that attach the screen to the brackets but not the brackets to the bike...

See thats why a picture would be useful :P:rolleyes:

I should imagine its similar to the aftermarket ones, how do they attach?

I've done a search and found a description but has anyone got an up close picture of how the yamaha screen fits on the FZ6-N?! I bought one via fleabay, it's got two metal brackets but I can't see what they attach to. A picture would be great. Thanks, Pete

This is for your licence, the situation your describing is similar to our Compulsary Basic Training (CBT) which must be done before you can ride on L plates. What we are describing above is the new test which involves doing similar skills to your CBT (slow speed manouvering, figure of 8, turn in...

Yet I'm pretty sure were the only EU country to do it. The examination centres which were pretty much one to a large town are now down to one or two per county. I know in Yorkshire we were meant to have four or five but only two will be ready in time. They have been coined 'super centres'...

How long have you got left? I had it on for a few months until my restriction elapsed. The difference is like getting a new bike. You'll find the throttle comes round much further, the revs pick up much quicker and in top gear you can add another 40 or so mph to the top speed. I remember...

I can't go very low at all, my chicken strips are huge.

Quick reminder for UK riders doing/considering their test. Locking the back wheel in an emergancy stop is classed as a loss of control and therefore a fail. I know because I did it :'-(, it was my only error in the whole test and they failed me for it, on a downhill dusty road!

Couldn't imagine sitting around all day drinking weak watered down nats p1ss all day. Cricket has a bit of a tradition of sitting about drinking real beer all day, one of the few sports where you can still buy alcohol. Few football grounds still do but that'll be phased out over the next few years.

York, just down the road!, love the look of the panniers. What did that lot set you back if you don't mind me asking...

RIP Robert Dunlop, his son and nephews went on to race in their races too, now that takes guts. BBC SPORT | Motorsport | Motorbikes | Dunlop dies after motorbike crash
