  1. Sorry guys, this is so wrong on so many levels. There is a V twin which is right in a featherbed. Norvin, the ride approved by Ogri. HD, good for chops and deep sea anchors You know it makes sense Beautiful Norvin
  2. The government warning said that anyone travelling in icy conditions should take a shovel, blankets or sleeping bag, extra clothes including a scarf hat and gloves, 24 hour supply of food and drink, de-icer, rock salt, safety triangle, tow rope, petrol can, 1st aid kit, and jump leads.... I looked a right on the bus this mornin!!!!
  3. I ran a Suzuki dealership in Germany years ago and there was always this weird grey market such as new bikes being grey imported from Australia to Europe as the pricing structure made it more lucrative. So shipping a bike all the way from Japan to Australia and then back to Europe was cheaper than buying them direct I do think a few of these Euro gravy train countries might be revising their precariously over leveraged lifestyles shortly. Daren't say any more as I'm in danger of going all political
  4. Thanks for the warm welcome guys, I really like the forum and hope I can make a few useful contributions
  5. im breaking a fzr and the clutch has seized, hope its not this Nah, don't worry. the clutch plates on FZR's stick together after they have stood for any length of time. To free them off just stick the bike on a paddock stand with the engine running, pull the clutch lever in, snick the bike into second gear and gently apply the rear brake while keeping the revs up enough to stop the motor stalling. If the bikes not running don't worry the plates will peel apart quite easily once you take the clutch to pieces. Which FZR is it you're breaking and roughly where are you as I might be interested in a few bits as I'm in the process of sorting my 1000RU out for the summer.

    Hi there

    Hi all, what can I say? My name is Sophie, amongst other things I like bikes, anything else you'll have to take a look at my profile or ask me.
  7. They operate by a ball bearing and face cam affair which lift the clutch actuating mechanism as the engine braking is transmitted back through the clutch. They work exceptionally well with big 4 stroke singles in a race situation but do require setting up correctly which can go as far as re-profiling the face cam. I'm not sure of their value on the road but very useful on the track, depends on just how kamikaze your down change technique is. I'm thinking of replacing the clutch on my FZR with one as the OEM basket is made of metal having the properties of cheese. FZR clutches are known for exploding and totalling the motor and dumping cheese, sorry aluminium shavings into the oil causing con rod failure.
  8. On the other hand, meet Jenny...https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NN28ZlQdgns
