I'm led to believe the results will be more accurate with it blocked though.....thoughts?

I probably shouldn't get this :)

Anyone? Just trying to save myself some unnecessary wrench time.

Gloves look great mate, let us know how they perform in the cold please! I agree with wolfy on the rocker. In theory it's great, you have to really massage it to get the right position. But then if you hit a few corners and it moves a tad, you can find yourself holding on throttle when you...

When you say the engine is all new, you understand it's a sleeved down FZ1 yeah, with a few other mods. FZ1 frame, basically it's a de-tuned and revised FZ1 rather than an evolution of the FZ6. I think we'd see a crossplane 1000cc engine in it (ie current R1 donk) before they go to a 1200cc...

I'm going to temporarily plug my AIS today in prep for a dyno tune, can anyone confirm if this is the hose from the airbox I need to plug? Hoping it is because then I don't need to start pulling things apart. Cheers. (have read the R6 removal instructions but think the airbox and a few other...

LeoVince include a cat eliminator mid-pipe so have the best chance of improving your power, ceteris paribus. There's a thread showing various power and weight changes with most brands of pipes.

I started planning my mods a few weeks before my bike arrived, thanks to this forum. Had the sprocket, my grips, carbon fender extender and FZ1 bars before I got the bike, and within the first month had everything on or at least ordered :) Bit of tinkering with the suspension as I rode it as...

Ha I've been trying to resist the heated grip thing - Sydney we're only talking maybe 5deg min in the very early morning. I use the thermal liners sometimes, so sometimes just my tips get a bit cool. I usually pre-heat my gloves over my heater before I head off :) I've noticed a few people have...

$129 for the SP1s is a bargain, usually that's SP2 pricing. Nice. Will have to re-visit the Nordics as well then. What kind of temps does it get down to around your neck of the woods? Like helmets, it's annoying with gloves that you can't really test them well until you have a few decent...

Stormriders would also be good, also sus out the Jet Roads they do. Kaz, do you find the Nordics too thick or are they ok? I hate losing the feel on the levers. I love my summer gloves, bring on the hot weather :) RP - difference is hard to explain. It builds revs far more quickly, feels like...

Kazza, 15t is something everyone should do from day 1 hey! It's crazy. It's even more pronounced if you try going back to 16t. The drive is sweet. I highly recommend installing your PC3, only should take about 10mins. Just load in the PC map to suit your Scorps, will be like going up another...

Is there anything better than new tyres? Ha. Ok the Angels have rectified the understeering issues I had with the Pures. What a relief. The bike now turns as it should, ie very quickly and precisely. I can't attest to grip or warm-up as it was a steady commute home and am still obviously wearing...

WARNING! If you do this spoon method, you'll have just destroyed your helmet. You know the 'one crash and you should change helmets' rule, well it's not because you may have ruined the outer shell, it's the delicate inner. If you purposefully reshape it, what you're doing is changing the density...

A nice free weight-reduction mod right there, nice work :)

I got similar slippage 20kms into a ride with the 020s (stock on mine) I had! Crazy. Happy to cop a bit of that within 5km but after that it should be warm hey. We've had rave reviews on the Angels here at work, including one who has them on his FZ1. I've got high hopes :)

I'm having a fresh set of Angel STs fitted as I type, looking forward to the ride home. I haven't run a sport-touring tyre (other than the stocker I quickly replaced) for years. I don't mind longer warm up times, just hopeful they have good grip on fast and bumpy corners, and my main goal is...

Squeeze the budget and go ASVs :) - they rule!

I'd like to buy one but can't justify going new, so please let me know if you have one you want to sell. Thankyou!
