The parrot is long gone, but the problem with the fairing is the top two fasteners failed allowing it to go back onto the headers, burning two half moons out of it, so the cross member is very thin & also misshaped. It really needs replacement. I always slow down when approaching a grain silo as...

I have the lower fairings on my bike & after a collision with a suicidal parrot I noticed the small fairing in front of the headers was broken. Can any one tell me where I can buy a new one from? My local dealer has no spares list for the lower fairings, he couldn't even tell me the top fastener...

Check on 89 degree tyre valves, work very well, choice of colours for the fashion concious amongst us.

I was thinking to try some wing mirrors with the in built indicator, & forget the others, anyone tried it? I also found that on the OEM indicator, if you zip tie the two rubber ears together & spray with silicone, they re-fit much easier.

I hear Ivan has a deal to return the FCE & have the ECU flashed. Anyone have an email address for him? Thank you.

Thank you for the advice, I don't think the fuel line is kinked as the tank has not been raised for some time & the previous owner has zip tied a stiff rubber sheath around the fuel line. I will check the other points out. Regards. PS no codes showing.

On my ride out last Sunday the engine would hesitate as though the kill switch was being flicked. It was always between 6&7k revs, above & below that it was fine. Has anyone else had this problem, or could tell me where to start. It is an '06 with 40,000ks on the clock & an FCE unit only. Thanks...

Has anyone found a front turn indicator that is small enough to stay in place while the lower fairing is removed?

Thank you. Go well.

Thanks for that, I do have the FCE fitted, so I wlll check it out. Regards.

My Gen 2 has a problem when I first start the bike on the stand to warm it up. The ECM light stays on, it runs very rough, seems to be hunting, & after a few minutes it cuts out. I restart with a bit of throttle, but it does the same thing again. One more start & stop then I mount up & go. The...

Feel for you mate, got down to 9C overnight but should be 27 for the weekend & dry.

I have always used Michelin pilot roads, but thought I'd try the Roadsmarts for a change. As I fit them myself, the first thing I found was they were so much tighter to get on the rim, it was a bit of a mission but I did it after I modified the mount bar. This also made it easier to blow the...

Does anyone know a part number for the long bolt that holds the top of of the lower fairing to the bikini fairing. I think it is M6 x 30-35 thereabouts, but the lower fairing has a spacer which is why it requires a longer bolt. The local Yam dealer does not have a micro fiche or any other...

150 Nm for the rear axle nut seems a bit over the top, I use about 110. Just saying.
