    Brakes

    I recently purchased a 2000 r1 for general mucking about on and to run at brands hatch, it wasn't until I got back on my fazer that I realised how exceptionally crap the front brake is! Yes it is an abs one but surely there must be some way of improving them, appreciate any suggestions!

    Ride height understanding the rear suspension

    If the physical length of the shock was longer would it increase the ride height? I always assumed it does but looking at the rocker type setup the opposite could be true? I am looking at it and struggling to get my head around how it works so any opinions would be greatly appreciated!:D

    Seized shock bushing?

    I changed my standard rear shock out today for a nitron sport shock, interesting thing is that on my 1800 mile fazer 8 standard shock the uppermost bushing appears to be seized unlike the the bottom one which slides in and out and all about! Either the top bushing is designed not to move or...

    Hi, think I'm going to burst waiting for my fz8 to arrive, thought I would take affirmative action and find a forum of like minded types, so hello to all. Just said goodbye to my gsxr 750 in favour of a grown up bike! :)
