Hey Animal are you still getting the knocking noise. I have the same and i know its the pads moving in the calipers, changed the pads and the springs, but no change, tried bending the springs to hold the pads in place tighter but only temporarily fixed it. Did you sort yours out? Luke

Lil late now but changed my Battleaxe for Michelin Road Pilot 3's and i'm made up with them, so much so I bought a set for my girlfriends CB1000R. Not expensive either. Double compound, great wear on the central section. I'm a bit od a fair weather rider but they got great reviews for handling...

Guys, I'm looking replace my current screen. I bought the bike with the current one, 49 cm tall, (19' state side) which i'm sure is a touring screen. I really fancy getting a smaller one to make it look a little sharper. i'm guessing even the standard one looks better. I'm also thinking a...

I've done a bit of research on this and it seems to show that the warning light comes on when you've got about a 1/4 of a tank left. So if you do 120 miles from full when it comes on you should have about 40 miles to completely empty. This seems to be for quite a few bikes, certainly for my...

Wish your shoulder a speedy recovery, the bike looks like its pulled through without a worry. Paint and manhole covers are so bad in the wet......

It does look the business. Just took the lower fairing off mine and it's always good to keep a little on show.

hey Billy, your not wrong about Missy, made me smile. On the spot fines are common in the UK and in France, everything gets recorded and full receipts issued and i don't think its abused, certainly in northern europe. To me it saves a lot hassle, when you know they've recorded your speed and...

Riding any good distance or speed for me means getting the ferry to France and bikers here monitor our French Gendarmie's (cops) activities closely. There are (verified) story's of very steep on the spot fines for speeding in the region of 300 euros and they escort you to the ATM for the cash...

it is just unbelieveable,

Really great video, nice touch with the editing, you just wanna hope they dont know what speed you can do at 12,000 rpm..... in any gear.....

Looks perfect, nice buy, hope you get the mileage sorted out. Just taken the lower fairing off my red one and i'm sure it looks better without it, enjoy!!

The guy needs a kick in the ass from his superiors and you need a "yeah it's me again" T-shirt

such bad news, all the best wishes for a quick recovery

Appreciate the comment, heard good things about R&G, supposedly they fabricated the bolts so they bend not break to increase the protection. Trouble is they got 'R&G' written all over 'em, i'll check out the evotechs and what others have suggested. Cheers.

Yeah read about your second fall, someone's watching over you, good to know you're ok and the bike's not too bad. I'll check out the T-Rex - cheers

Just taken off the lower fairing,it's been there since i've had the bike, think it looks better without it. I've gotta change the top engine mount bolt, so following some advice from the site i'm gonna put on some crash bungs, anyone able to recommend some?

Appreciate your help, got it sorted now. couldn't believe how simple it was. It was just loose pads grabbing the discs, must be a tiny high spot for it to be doing it regularly. All i did was put a little more bend in the spring holding the pads in place and a little racing grease on the back...

My thoughts and prayers to you and those close to him.

I think it looks the business just as it is, previous owner of my bike has some massive crazy cartoon duck decals which i took off straight away. Personal opinion but think its better without. Having said that i've just taken the fairing off too and think its better now.

I can't make a real comparison for you, being in the wrong continent but April last year did the same as you and have no regrets. Traded on my '05 FZ6 with no mods, 14k on the clock, i got £2,200 against my '08 FZ1 which I got for £5,200 1,400 miles!, full fairing, remus powercone, powerbronze...
