A Canon man here, currently using a 350D for mainly nature and wildlife and a lot of macro.

I would ask for a discount to the tune of replacing the ECU and ignition.

For those asking if the device can be tracked or blocked, I can answer that it cannot unless the device has a 2G/3G cell connection for 2 way communication like a mobile phone. The satellites basically put out a signal that the device can pickup, by picking up multiple signals the device can...

Have you used Pirelli Diablo Stradas? Are you able to compare? I'll also be finishing a set of Stradas fairly soon and would like to hear from anyone who can compare them.

One set of brakepads in 4 years, wow!

I have an FZ6N and always use a paddock stand to check the oil.

Hi all, I had the engine trouble warning light come on this morning. I stopped in a garage near work after my 45 minute commute and when I started off again I rode out of the garage and then it came on (solid not flashing) and I could hear a kind of grumbling noise from somewhere. It lasted...

The furthest I've gone on a tank is 278 km (about 65 km on the F-trip) and still only put in 17.86 Litres. The furthest I've gone on a tank is 173 miles (about 40 miles on the F-trip) and still only put in 3.93 Imp. gallons / 4.72 US gallons.

I voted Pirelli Diablo's but just wanted to stress I mean Diablo Strada's not Diablo's, there is a difference. Mine just keep getting stickyer and stickyer the more I ride them, best tires I've ever owned. Been through 2 sets now to the tread limit and had zero cupping. I think Strada's are so...

The naked is certainly good enough for 60-80 mph riding. Some people with the faired even say with the stock windscreen they get a lot of helmet buffeting. It's true that you do feel it a lot in the chest on the naked when doing some speed but I have quite a tall tank bag which eliminates that...

The 'sign-up for updates' is on the European site not the UK site: 2010 Yamaha FZ8

I went for the naked because it was cheaper. Having come from fully faired bikes before and not having previously owned a naked bike I didn't realise quite how much I would miss the fairing in wet windy weather. In hindsight I should have gone for faired.

It sounds like you don't have to contend with congestion so I would take the car if you have the option. Personally I will ride all winter but I commute through very heavy traffic that does an average motorway speed of 20km/h.

I did a ferry crossing a couple of weeks ago on the FZ. I had it all planned so's not to piss off the people behind me in the queue. I had my passport and ticket in the clear pocket on my tank bag, thinking I can quickly whip them out, but I forgot that customs would want me to take off my...

That does seem a bit thirsty, my commute is about the same, but slightly slower speeds and RPM, usually around 6,000 to 10,000. I normally go to around 230 km and fill about 15 L. My overall Km/L is 16.15.

I've never had a problem with slippery roads, even the last 2 miles of my commute which doesn't get gritted, I just take it very easy and make sure I'm never in a position to need to brake hard, passed those 2 miles the motorways are always fine and I can ride as usual. Riding while it is...

I have an great image in my mind now, 'hmm, I seem to be carrying a bit of extra weight', turn round to see a bloody great big roo sitting on the passenger seat. :eek:

I'm left handed, ride on the right but learnt on the left :D. I think I used to prefer righties when I started out riding but these days there is no difference.
