Hi Lee welcome to the forum

Sorry to hear of your problems, so many people buy this chinese rubbish and only find out later that the backup aint worth the paper it is written on. Now you say parts have been changed was this buy the original company? Not getting your bike serviced when it should have been can cause problems with your warranty. But your first port of call should be back to the supplying dealer notifying them that the bike has not worked properly only months after you brought it and they need to investigate and fix it. Any product has to be of reasonable quality, last a reasonable amount of time and fit for purpose. You need to inform the dealer that under the consumer rights act of 2015 the product must meet the terms mentioned above. If they start quoting their guarantee the consumer law trumps that. Hopefully you called them when you first started having problems. Did you pay for this bike by credit card by any chance even if it was only a deposit of more than 100 pounds? Then the credit card company are jointly liable and you can make a claim under a section 75 consumer credit act to get them to fix the bike or refund all your money. Good luck I hope this helps.

Well done mate congratulations, the world is your lobster enjoy your new found freedom. Just watch out for all the muppets out there.

I think you need to wait it sounds like you are still heavily medicated after your Operation.

You dont need a big screen you would be surprised that even a small screen moves the air up and over your head. The trouble is finding a shop that has various styles and sizes in stock that you can compare before buying. Have a look on the Givi website they may even make something specific for your model.

Hi there I understand your pain but if you brought this from a dealer you need to inform them to come and collect the bike and start advising them that under the consumer rights act 2015 the product has to be of reasonable quality, fit for purpose and last a reasonable amount of time. If it was mine (and lukily I would never buy chinese crap) and you brought it within the last 30 days you should be demanding your money back. If its a private sale you are stuck with it sorry.

I refuse to use car parks that require an app I go and spend my money somewhere else, plus there is now the scam where fake QR codes are being put on payment machines so you download god knows what.

You need to report it M S to the police and the council so that goes down on the record, I know its a pain in the arse but its the only way to get blackspots sorted out and the authorities cant say they didnt know about it.

That last race was fantastic reminds me of the classic Sheene/Roberts in 1979 what a race. Im pleased Kyle Ryde won I never have been a fan of Tommy Bridwell especially after last years racing. Well done Kyle 2024 champion.

Hi there welcome to the forum, it is more than probable that another master cylinder complete with lever could be made to fit. I take it that its a scooter with both front and rear brakes on the bars, a picture would help. You need to know your handlebar diameter and see if you can find a part number on your master cylinders then do a search on that part number. It is bound to be used on loads of other bikes and scooters. AS you have found out chinese bikes are crap at supplying spare parts. Probably a universal master cylinder could fit but you also need to take into account there will be brake light switches that you may need to adapt the wiring. Anything is possible good luck with your search and be careful if you aint sure what you are doing get help dont take risks with your brakes.

It is a bit of a pain but all you have to do is prove to the administrators that the vehicle belongs to you and they have to release it. It cannot be classed as an asset of the company that has gone bust.

Sounds like you had a good day considering and you learnt a lot and more importantly you enjoyed it. Just get back out there take your time soak up all the knowledge and you will get there.

Good luck but im sure you wont need it, hope the weather stays good for you and all the idiots keep away from your route.

Good luck for tomorrow I hope it all goes well.

Hi Lee welcome to the forum, there are quite a few on here that have had Fazers so there should be plenty of advice. Looking forward to the restoration how about photos to follow the progress.

The price of small auto cars have gone through the roof over the last few years. Its all to do with new drivers finding them easier to drive and in the end with EV motors everthing will be an auto. So why bother learning on a geared vehicle.

If you want to ride legal off road on the green lanes of britain you cant go wrong by joining TRF. There are very knowledgeable members that fight for the right to keep these lanes and tracks open.

Look up your local TRF group ( Trail Riders Fellowship) and join in. You dont need a full blown enduro bike and you can start off with a group on easy trails and progress from there. I havnt done it for years but it was a great laugh with a great group of people. Trail Riders Fellowship – TRF
