    GameStone's Knuckle Visor Fitting Guide

    They keep most of the breeze off your hands but they do push the air upwards onto your shoulders. this causes some buffeting which can be annoying at motorway speed. Worth the money? Maybe But I think hand guards would be better suited and quite a bit cheaper too...

    New EvoTech Tail Tidy Fitted

    I may use Wheel Stripe tape (as I have some left over Red reflective) as it's reflective and 7mm wide, just stick them either side of the number plate. I know it's an MOT failure not to have a rear reflector but I'm not sure what the law is on rear reflector size or position. EDIT: I just...

    New EvoTech Tail Tidy Fitted

    Are you sure it never came with one, I thought the same thing, but it's the small Evotech sticker second up on the right (shinning due to the camera flash). I fitted one of these, excellent build quality and make the bike back end look much better...

    Wing mirror arm corroded

    If I fitted them myself I would'nt be covered for the work and if something breaks I would have to foot the bill. The dealer claims back any warranty work from the manufacturer (Yamaha) so it's not costing the dealer anything to fit them and it only take 10-15 minutes to do anyway. No rush as...

    Wing mirror arm corroded

    Excellent news:- They are replacing both mirror arms under warranty. :cool: They've ordered the mirrors and are now in stock, trouble is they are fully booked for the next week, they can only fit me in next Saturday (7th March), not too much of a problem. They will be fitting them as I wait...

    Wing mirror arm corroded

    The same thing has happened to my bike, it's only 17 months old, 57reg (2007 model) bike which is kept in a garage. Also have mirror glass corrosion too. I've shown the dealer and they're contacting Yamaha to find out if they will replace them under warranty I believe its a manufacturing...

    Yamaha's 0% Finance Continues

    I just noticed on the Yamaha UK site that the 0% finance is still on for FZ1, FZ6, R1 & R6 also with £500 cash back. It doesn't say when it runs out but I can't see this deal going on forever. I'm tempted chop mine in and get an FZ1 or maybe something stupid like an R1!! Double Yammy

    600 Mile Service - Dealer or Self???

    Only if you take it to the place you bought it, I had mine delivered from a dealer 200 miles away and just had it serviced locally last week for £95 (£55 of that was labour). I would have done it myself but its the stamp in the service book that adds value when you come to sell it.

    Oxford HotGrips Heated Motorcycle Grips Review

    I bought some today from Hein-Gericke, when I got home and looked at them the Heat Controller (the newer push button one) had bits of plastic missing around the edges. Took it back and exchanged it, the replacement has a similar thing, the plastic is way to brittle It would seem Oxford has a...

    Swingarm Caps

    Yamaha UK list it on their web site on the Accessories page 5VX-W0707-20-00 Aluminium, Designed to be fitted to right hand side of the frame. They only list it for the FZ6 S2 '07 (not Fazer) but I don't think there is a difference between the two

    Jacket Safety Material

    I'll check the label :) My Akito textile jacket label says it can be washed in a machine at 30 degrees (you take the armor out first though). I washed mine the other week as the road salt made the coat smell funny, don't tumble dry, dry clean or iron it or the water proof layer with be...

    Accessory power socket question.

    I'm still waiting for the Bags Connection thing to arrive, they have everything in stock apart from the actual connection ring :mad:, it's been two months and no joy. They said it will be in next week but I'm not holding my breath, I will post a review when I get it installed.

    Pro-Tec Frame Sliders

    You need an 8mm Allen Key to remove the factory bolt. Not sure about the different lengths as my Evotech ones I fitted were the same length for both sides.

    GameStone's Knuckle Visor Fitting Guide

    Transfer the black rubber trim from the original Visor to the new Knuckle Visor. Fit the two Knuckle Visors with the new torx screws, do not over tighten as it will crack the plastic trim. Refit the two mirrors using the two larger spacers per side (original spacer shown on left for...
