At least the replacements are pretty cheap usually, and not too hard to fit.

Totally unrelated, but decided I'm going to sell the FZ6 S2 ABS 07, wondering if anyone has a rough idea how much I should be looking for? It has 14k on the clock, and good condition with a few marks. I'm thinking I could be looking around £3000? Cheers

I need a man. Or muscles. Or a man with muscles. It would make my life so much easier than bending a curtain rail to get the axial undone.

You can always try s trickle charger for old batteries as well. Can give them new life.

3k sounds reasonable, go on mcn, ebay etc and see what similar is selling for.

Already did that mid last week and it got the battery working again but it died again while I was away over the weekend and recharging it with my trickle charger hasn't worked this time. So a new battery for me it is.

Hey. Finally got round to buying a new battery and changing the oil in my Daytona 675. Going to Glasgow Uni this September and will be taking my bike. Anyone live in Scotland, or Glasgow ideally here? :-)

Awh, that's a shame, although I'll stay on this thread nonetheless. Who knows, one day again maybe! :biggrin:

Ill get some pics tomorrow and put them on, although its just like every other Daytona lol! Its a 2006 Yellow edition one. :smile:

Do love it to bits though! :biggrin:

Wanna get an Arrow Exhaust for it soon though.

Nop, I'm only 19 going on 20 in October. I only have Third party on it though as its the only one I can afford. Its 1.3k for Third, but then it suddenly shoots up for both Fire and Theft and Fully comp to 9.8k! :O So no real choice but to go for the third party lol.

You must have only had that thing for a little while then! Considering I'm guessing you were sat on a restricted license for two years!

Was going to break the chinese bike I have but someone offered me £350 for it so I thought bugger it, can't be bothered breaking it and listing it so it's now sold.

I've asked a similar question before but can everyone give me an idea of what they pay/paid for lessons? Place local to me is £30p/h for a 125 and £35p/h for a £400, no idea id that is ok or not? Surprises me though considering my car lessons where £18p/h.

Hmmm well when I did my DAS a while back I paid £450 for 3 days including test (did theory and CBT separately).

I can't remember what my ex-housemate paid. Think it was about £30 p/h.

I thought DAS was from 19 up to the restricted-access licence?

I'm still questioning if it's worth the money to get a bike licence. For CBT, lessons, test, etc, it seems to be close to a grand. It would be nice if my car licence was worth more than a bit of plastic towards getting a bike. Surely more bikers = makes it safer for all bikers?
