It was definitely oil and ran down from above the head gasket!


If it happens again i will try and get a photo before it disapears.

Hi,
I have one and mine did the same dropped LED segments.
I found that you need to find the box under the tank the two cables connect into.
Take out the display cable and clean the connector.
The pins starts to corrode and each pin is a segment on the display.

Hi,


Sent you a PM...

Help required.
can someone tell me what the bolt size or sizes are for the suspension linkage.
2x for dogbones I assume they are same length.
2x for shock attachment M10x???mm (what length some say 75mm) top bolt for R6 shock I assume the bottom bolt is the same as std bolt.



The std dog bone bolts measure as 130mm long, the dogbones i have for the R6 shock are (127mm) these are 8mm thick.
Std dog bones are 6mm thick so is there enough extra on the std 130mm bolts to take the 8mm dog bones.
Or do I need to buy a couple of bolts 135mm long, if so what M size are the bolts.

Also the top bolt looks to have three washers is this normal.
The length is 90mm long, is this long can anyone say how much thread will stick out of the locknut.


If its too long what length shorter bolt do i need to buy....

Hi,
I bought Lazer 4764 or Sealy VS1824 they are saimilar kit. Cost me £44 or there abouts.

Just spent 3hrs removing hein gerrick heated grips right side took ages to get off.
Not so much heat after many years of use.



Then rerouted new wiring all different lengths. Hid excess cable under tank in front of electrical box.
The new oxford advanced sports are fitted no need to trim as they are 123mm long and fit well.


Beware the superglue provided sets in seconds if you don't get it in place first time forget it it sets instantly.
So test fit more than one time to make sure you get it right.
Roll on the cold weather.

yes just what I was thinking.

Bike passed MOT in June so .........
Do i do nothing but will it get through the winter as it's my all year round bike...

But if i attempt to re seal with either new gasket seals or just a load of fire gum will i open a can of worms...

if i was to replace the studs i would seriously think about drilling out and tap 8mm SS studs cut from SS rod and use new SS nuts....

what would you do....

sorry typo error not a rivet nut but rivet link.


I fitted a split link first and had the motorcycle shop replace the split link with a rivet one...

Bike back on the road....


It cost me..


£15 to have a new rivet nut fitted to chain at bike shop + £5 for rivet nut.
New clutch push rod (£38) fixed the slipping clutch.
A replacement push rod oil seal and a new oil seal/bearing cover plate (£11).


And to fix the damaged casting I used a greased bolt and a load of J-B weld origina, the new formula it has increased strength.
I screwed in the bolt to the end stop and then put the J-B weld all over the exposed screw threads and this created a new casting.
Left it 48hrs to fully cure added some more waited 48hrs to build up the lug...
Then removed the bolt it came away with a nice crack when a bolt releases. new threads formed out of J-B weld.


So used thread lock and a sprung washer to hold the original bolt back in place the lower bolt was torqued up.
I have ridden it 100 miles now and all ok....


Will check on it over the weekend.

clutch push rod was snapped in two pieces when chain broke.


clutch still works. Ordered replacement at £38.


But my question i will the ball bearing still be in place, what holds it in place.


I would to Not have to removing clutch cover to see if the ball bearing is were it should be.

Fitted new chain & sprockets this morning


bought a530 pitch 110 link Ognibene Gold Chain


and Ognibene sprockets std 15 teeth front and 48 rear.


the rivet pin was a little different than a DID one but i thought I had fitted it ok.


Went out for a test ride and after 20mins thought all was well.
On way home at 50mph bang the rivet link let go...... Should have gone to garage and had it checked....


So pushed bike home 1/2 mile..... very hot today I was drenched when I got home..


the rivet link grabed hold of the top bolt which holds the bearing cover plate (sits behind the front sprocket) and mangled it up it's item 36 on the ajsutton website


see [size=78%]https://www.ajsutton.co.uk/genuineparts/9654/13/yamaha-fzs600-fazer-1998/crankcase?uID=0[/size]


It is only tightened up to 10Nm so not holding anything other than the cover plate.


But the casting has been ripped out you can see half the threads with a chunk missing from the left side.


So I am a little unhappy with myself for not doing a propper job.


So need to work out how to fix it and hope I havn't trashed the gearbox or any other internals.


I will try and get a photo loaded at the weekend after I remove the front sprocket...
