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

Pilot road 2's

Ever thought it could be nicked?

whats the mileage when was last time it had service including air filter and carb balance if ever?

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

Good luck though any questions pop over to fazer owners club (FOC U)

Sounds like a warped disk, i'd first check theres no shite in the calipers and on the pins

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.

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 -

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

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.
