    Tyres

    Hey Guys (and Girls) I've had my Fz6 S2 since july last year, and have done about 5,500 miles on it. I was wondering how many miles any of you have got out of the stock tyres that come new on the bike? and what you'd recommend as a good replacement for when these start to go? Cheers Mark

    Mobile Camera Question

    If, in theory, I was riding too fast on the motorway, and there was a mobile speed camera on the opposite side of the carriageway, would that camera be able to get me? obviously this is all just hypothetical. Cheers Mark

    Gear Grinding into first

    Ok, so I'm not the most technically minded person in the world, and i've got a problem with my bike. It doesn't do it all the time, but it's not very nice when it does. it's an 09 fz6 with about 2,200 miles on the clock. Sometimes when i change from either N into 1st, or from 2nd into first...

    I Dropped it

    What was I doing? Flying round a bend at 65? Pulling a massive wheelie? Out on a track day? Nope. I was doing a U turn about about 2mph and went over a patch of gravel. I felt the bike start to slide so i put my foot down (on another patch of gravel) and ended up on the floor, with a bike...

    Navigation System

    I know that there are going to be many posts about satnavs, but I was hoping that a UK user could answer the question I have regarding them. I'm looking between a Garmin Zumo 550, and a Tomtom Rider. Anyone have any ideas which is better, or know of a site which directly reviews the 2 against...

    British Weather

    I'm having a right time of it today! The weather looked so nice this morning, so I left the cover at home and rode off into work. I'm now looking out of my office window seeing my new baby getting a thorough soaking. I've got an Oxford Stormex which I probably should have brought with me to...

    Beginner Parking Question

    Right guys, this might sound like an awful stupid question, but i'm picking up my shiny new FZ6 fazer tomorrow morning, and I'm wondering how the best way to leave it is. I've got a good cover to put over it, but no garage. The private parking by my flat is on a bit of a downhill slope, and i...

    Greetings from West Yorkshire

    Hi there I'm Mark, I've just passed my test, and invested in a new FZ6 Fazer. It looks pretty sexy in autumn orange, and I'm off to pick it up next saturday morning. Just wondering if any of you could give me any advice if there are any must-do mods that I should be considering for my...
