Diablo's on a fazer?
-
Pilot road 2's no question about it... and i would suggest going 120 alot of lads on the foc u forums hate it. Youll find a 110 pilot 2 easy.
-
heres what i did, convert two hair driers to 12volt then fix one eitherside to each side of the swing arm, its adds approx 12bhp and 20mph on the max speed
-
320 miles at 45 quid is probably about right for a bandit.
-
Go straight to Yamaha HQ and complain! Kick up a big stink about it safety issues etc you bought yamaha with confidence.
-
Load of shite, any modern day tyres suitable for any bike nowadays. They are more suited to sports bikes but they will be fine on a bandit! Personally i'd of gone with the road pilot 2s for a bandit but the 3s will be fine!
-
i always use a spanner on mine never had any problems, people seem to over tighten them when there really is no need!
-
I bought EBC pads, was advised against carbonne lorraine are i wouldnt notice ant difference as they were for high performance machines. EBC are top quality so far

Ever thought it could be nicked? -
Carbs Balance as in years is unknown, last service history i managed to find was at 9,000 miles (previous owner lost it) I service it regulary, recently ive changed the plugs filter and oil. Would explain why i can only achieve 47mpg and other fazer riders get 55+
-
On startup my downpipes 3 & 4 seem to heat up ALOT faster than 1 & 2 i can't hear any blowing of any sort and i've only recently changed the plugs. Is this normal or would it suggest carbs balanced? Bike runs find and seems to jump 100-200rpm on idle. And its running fine on all 4cylinders
-
i'm sure the halfords stuff, good shit so far, make sure you completely flush the old fluid out mind.
-
Its sorted after a 20 mile ride, no longer rubbing
-
Just changed my pads to EBC bedding them in at the moment i noticed they do rub a touch (it will still rotate 1 turn easy) then do get hot after riding and when i brake at high speeds i do feel some slight vibration through the handle bars. is this normal until the pads break in?

You do realise your asking ppl on a BIKE forum biased Let's go with track

Jesus the header bolts were bent as **** before you touched them! getting to them if its 2-3 header youll have the engine out. Wish i saw this post before you attempted to remove the studs, they are a nightmare on a fazer and you need plenty of head and about a weeks spraying of plus gas. As for the studs i bought these for mine http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/M6-x-18mm-lon ... 230c4c49f5 Good luck though any questions pop over to fazer owners club (FOC U) -
Have you checked the oil levels correct? could be an oil overflow if you've overfilled it.
-
55MPG and your unhappy? Get a Honda C90 if you want better results.
-
GP not road legal though? Can imagine it sounds like a dragon. No its not road legal, unless mr plod does a roadside sound test your ok. My argument is it has a legal baffle (Which i'd consider buying it you were to get one) If you do decide you want a MTC ring them up, they knocked off £30 off the ebay price for me
-
I've just bought a MTC GP exhaust, its stupidly loud sounds lovely i'd recommend one. GPR Zorst are all decent, i'll be selling mine soon heres a vid of the sound - http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Y1Y9Rtmm ... ture=g-upl
-
spend the cash on your test then the worlds your oyster, you could be on an 160bhp r1 as opposed to a 16bhp tuned 4 strong 125
-
the CG managed 60mph at best when new, 55 for a 20 year old bikes not bad Doubt theres anything wrong with the topend.
-
Warped tyre/Wheels need balancing. Used to happen to me at 40mph, a new front tyre and wheel balancing sorted it. If your front has plenty of life just get em balanced.
