Whos got the highest mileage on a set so far? I got sick of replacing a rear every 2500 miles on my TLS, want a tyre that will at least triple that - on 600's, PP 2CTs are great, except when pushing Supersport lap times on the track, then that rear starts letting go under gas.

a 190/55 is STILL too big for a 5.5'' rim. 190's full stop, 50 or 55 only work on 6'' rims found on thous. a 180/55 is optimum. I rode a 190/50 on a CBR6rr, and it rode fine. put a 180 on and it was much better. Im having similar trouble with my suspension. I have also been used to...

Most stuff I get from the states is sent with USPS, and has never failed and always arrived at a good time - most things cost about 30 USD

Shipping to NZ?

Ah im after some clipons. Too expensive for me :(

FZ1 bars are lower arent they? Cheap set of clip ons might be the way to go.

On my TLS i used to slip the clutch right out until the 60ft mark... I remember screwing it up and dropping the clutch too early once, the front shop straight up at low speed, and I was fighting to get it down, once down, went to hit second, hit a false neutral (its all the rage)... I still...

Cheers, Bike is at the shop, the mechanic working on it says he just came back from working in the UK, and almost every Faulty FZ was TPS, I was out of ideas so I let him go ahead. Seems he knows his way around the bike so Im letting them get on with it.

Apparently thats almost irrelevant - I checked mine, went up every increment in the test and was perfect - shop tells me that doesnt matter and they still think my TPS is poked.

Yeah i was thinking valves, apparently its not due yet. The shop is adamant that its the TPS. I gave them the go ahead to put one in and try it, but I aint gonna pay if they are wrong! its on its third TPS already...

The problem is actually occurring quicker now, leading me to believe its a valve or gasket - backed up by oily plugs too. Fuel is fine, by 3 months I mean the bike hasnt had a proper ride, just used once per week for the commute and to give the srx a rest. Im dropping it off tomorrw and...

Please read whole post: My 04 FZ starts backfiring, not big bang bangs, but a constant burble crackle even on a constant throttle below 50mph now. I cant test it on the open road as my license is restricted for work use at current - My commute is about 30 minutes, and 20 miles. Mixed between...

How much shipped to NZ? very interested.

Just try and get a cheap set of 43's regardless of tank clearance to see if you like it before going and spending $$$ on a set of helis IMHO.

After an hour on the stock seat my butt hurts. I dunno If you guys are all have some body cushioning, but im all bone, and the seat simply doesnt have enough support, and my butt goes numb after an hour - even with a cigarette break, withing 5 mins back on the bike, the numbness returns at...

I had mine ran on a dyno today. Its an 04, Leovince exhaust with cat elim, db killers out, +24 C1 and C2, Airbox mod. On a dynojet dealers dyno, 85.5hp? Runs fine. Derriaire dyno says It makes good power. Must be the brand of dyno itself. Was really looking forward to how the figures...

Ive got Robert Taylor supplying the springs - so the spring rate, oil grade and level etc.. will be perfect as he is Mr Ohlins and suspension in NZ :D Springs go in friday, will let ya'll know how they go.

Im thinking of getting a set of springs. Just wondering how good are they? how much do they change the handling? On bumpy NZ backroads I feel the bike isnt terribly planted and feels like its skitty around - a huge difference compared to my CBR which would haul arse and feel planted and...

And coincidently, the TPS had already been replaced twice - once for crapping out, and the second time for the recall. Bike seems all good now. cheers guys.
