Well I finally splurged out and got a set of Hel braided brake lines for my Fazer! I'd been considering new brake lines for a while, and found Hel Performance had an outlet in Queensland which ships all over oz. I put the order in on sunday, and the parcel arrived today (thursday) so I was...

Nah I might pass on that thanks mate, I'm in oz, and currently am snowed under with work and renovations, thanks for the offer tho! BB

Has anyone had any experience using Luxeon or Star leds? I've bought myself a 1watt one with it's own driver, and I'm planning on shrinking it down into a bayonette fitting, so it'll provide about the same light output pattern as the original incandescent bulb, so it'll be able to use the...

+1 it's definately water cooled. Also with even tighter emissions in the future, it'll become less common to see air cooled engines, and v twin engines, so it could spell the end of harley and Ducati in their current forms. Back to the photo, it looks like they mocked up the clutch cover...

It was an awesome day out, and it was great meeting you guys too! I got some good shots of the bikes, and even got one of my daughter's shirts signed by Amy O'Mara, who raced in Superstock 600 catagory, on a Yammy R6. Amy has been raising awareness for the McGrath foundation and the national...

Cool, glad to hear the barby's welcome at the track, and It'd be great to meet you guys. Shame about the lack of fz6 cup...I went a couple of years ago on the saturday and I got some good shots of the FZs qualifying, but I lost some of my photos on the computer (and didn't back them up...DOH!)...

I've been looking forward to this since going 2 years ago! I only saw the saturday qualifying then but still loved it. This time I'm going on the sunday, taking the car, wife and bub, so the bike will stay home :( I'll take my dslr this time too, but don't have any decent lenses apart from a...

I've tried both the Autosol paste and liquid polish, and have found the liquid easier to apply. I tried the steel wool method and it rocks! Probably the fastest polish my pipes have had, apart from the problem I just used standard steel wool, which made the exhaust surfaces look a bit dull...

Honda???? Blasphemy!!!!

Yup, I saw that movie before but thanks for reposting. My technique is the same as theirs. I've also carefully retorqued the engine to frame bolts, but I think I will just put up with the vibes and ride thru them. Thanks for the reply!

G'day all, This is my first post, after much lurking and a few replies here and there. My question concerns my 05 FZ6 Fazer. The engine has never been as smooth as others have described, with strong vibes around 5,000rpm. I've been spending time doing my own servicing, and have noticed a...

Yeah if you can detect the rear wheel locked up and release and reapply the brake before it gets out of line then thats a good thing. Locked brakes are bad, either front or rear. In emergencies things happen so fast that you don't get time to think. The best thing is to go out and practice...

From the thread, and all the media reports about gun violence, and the prolific portrayal of weapons and homicide on popular US tv shows, I'm wondering how it can become more unstable. This thread has encouraged me to do some searching on the issue, and one thing that stood out amongst the...

No not Perth, but country South Aus. I'm in the Riverland, and we don't get any cool seabreezes, as we're too far inland. This summer was one of the hottest I can remember. Can't believe that spring is approaching! Can't wait to get more time on two wheels!

LOL! Our summer was one of the hottest, not only did we have prolonged temperatures over 40deg C, we also had record breaking temperatures, locally reaching 49deg. I was working out in it, on a forklift, I didn't get away from that heat. BB

If you're braking in a straight line and lock up the rear, and it skews out of line, then releasing the brake could result in a highside (from what I've been taught by my riding instructor). So the idea is to keep the rear locked up until the bike is straight, and then release the rear brake...

LMAO! I haven't caught my Fazer reading the forums yet... I'll go out to the shed and spoil her with some polish, she hasn't been pampered for a few months!

Yeah I steer clear of the "alcopop" fuels, partly from bad publicity. I use them in the cars from time to time, but not if I can help it. After nearly 25,000kays I'd guess my combustion chambers could do with a light clean! Now I just need to find the time to ride...Im full time dad now so...

Get one of each!

This has been an interesting thread, I'm motivated to try some different flavours of premium. I normally just use unleaded, but after heaps of people have said they use premium, I feel like a bad owner now! I even used shell unleaded a few times! Damn, I think that could be enough to be...
