So when the key is turned the needle climbs to the very top and stays there, all the time, however the reserve light still works? And often (not always) when it comes on the needle will jump to the correct level? How do i fix this so it works normally?

I need a replacement bolt for the very top of the fuel tank where it fastens to the top of the frame (just under the handle bars/yoke)
No idea what it is called though?! Any links to a seller or Ebay listing?

R6 rear shock, balance the carbs, read A Twist of the Wrist and work on getting faster/smoother etc.
All of these will keep it interesting

Not a whining sound... more a sort of washing machine cycle sound, more gutteral than high pitched? Started on the last part of the journey back from The Krazy Horse the other night so i has beeb wringing its neck. Bike starts and droves ok tbh, the sound is not present when sitting, just on the move, pulling the clutch in when rolling along the road does not stop it either. The bike was whining a little on the motorwats through the gears, but i noticed that stopped somewhat at least when this sound started? Also When stationary in the garage, engine running, if i hold the revs with the throttle ot seems like a larger chunk of the rev range is quite burbley now? Could be imagining it though. Carb rebalance? Cam Chain ? Leak in the carb rubbers? Any thoughts/advice would be great, apologies for the descriptions but without being here its difficult to capture the sound

Litteraly never used the choke to start the fazer, ever, it just bogs it down and stalls it if i try and ever utilize it during startup. Cold mornings sometimes it will start with a touch of the button, or if not just a whiff of throttle imput. Hot days is different As i have to hold the starter down and pump the throttle slightly but it always starts and runs etc...
just wondering why this would be ?

Its defo not the exhuast note, its coming from the engine area tbh

As above ive noticed a high pitched whining sound on the mororway (not really around town) in time with the engine speed, it shuts off if i chop the throttle or pull the clutch in? I have recently put the baffle back in the end can so im hoping its just normal engine noise that im not used to hearing as apose to gearbox or Camchain 😬

Not ridden it in anger yet as i need to relube the chain/balance the carbs with the new end can etc tomorow, so il head out in the afternoon

So i took it round the block and it just feels generally way more planted, stable, no seesaw action? Braking/acceleration are far more progressive, less fork dive on braking, more bike stability on acceleration. Roundabouts feel miles and miles smoother, holds a line far batter, no bobbing about etc.
Oh and the original shock is heavier as well, R6 came out at 2.3kg, Fazer 2.9

Dog bones? If thats what u mean the yes. All fitted now, fairly easy tbh, o took the rear wheel off as u have more access that way, Hardest part was getting the wheel back in and chain on by myself tbh.

Just bought a modded R6 shock off a fellow member, excited to test it out and compare the difference between a 40,000 mile unserviced standard shock and the r6 unit! il keep you posted

Honda c90 fun little single cylinder
Gpz 500 nippy parralel twin
Rvf 400 razor sharp v4 impprt, good brakes.
2001 zx6r average 600, bit heavy, fast enough.
2002 gsxr 750 Absolute weapon, light, very fast
1998 fazer 600 the latest, comfy and fast enough as we all know, better suspension and headlights would be ideal
Looking for a 2004 zx10r, k5 gsxr 1000 or a 2002 blade as a second bike next year

Its possible they didnt put enough in i guess, cannot see the yellow fluid in the window but they are very strong when the lever is depressed fully, just feela like too much play in the lever itself before much happens, so unless they use clear brake fluid wich im not convinced exists lol im guessing it needs a small topup ?
