They have server problems and they are working on it. But it will take some more days due to health reasons of the responsible person.

Bought a second NTV650. It was sooooo cheap that I could not resist  :)
The last key was lost by the pre-owner but all the paperwork was fine including TÜV (German MOT) till April 2017.
First intention was to use it as donor bike for my other NTV but my Honda dealer was able to provide me with two new keys for 65 Euro by sending the igniton switch to a specialist.
So plans changed  :lol



Second thing I did after ordering a Motad silencer was some welding and painting in the headlight area.

Stanley was/is also supplier for Suzuki so the quality should be comparable to Honda.

@noggythenog
The original Hornet 900 SC48 headlight has a chrome ring and an unpainted housing:

Here in Germany they are rare and quiet expensive. You can buy a new aftermarket headlight for about the same price. But I think the OEM-quality from Stanley is better even if it is used. The one I used for the BMW was cheap since the housing had a crack and the chrome ring some dents and scratches.
An alternative is the very similar headlight from the naked version of the Suzuki SV650.

Replaced the big and ugly original headlight by a repainted Hornet 900 unit:



And changed the TDM panniers from Yamaha to Krauser like I have it already on my Fazer and the NTV:

Installed a set of new brake and clutch levers from Probrake (planned) and a new seat (spontaneous, it was sold in a German forum and when I saw it I had to buy it  :) )

Picked up my "nice weather car" from the garage after repairing several damages due to low use (8 k miles in 11 years)  :rolleyes
It was fucking expensive but I still like the car and the number plate  :)

FZS600 Fazer / Re: Dead battery?
« on: 12 September 2015, 09:54:08 pm »
High ambient temperature can cause batteries to self-discharge much quicker. 10 degrees hotter doubles the rate.
In Germany we had a very hot summer and many batteries of seldom used vehicles died because of deep discharge.
Today I checked the batteries of my 4 bikes. The TDM was last time used about  7 weeks ago. The voltage was only 12,05 V.
NTV and Fazer had 12,50 V after about 4 weeks. The BMW has a special battery (originally designed for uninterrupted power supply of alarm systems) and after 3 weeks it had still 12,8 V.

The TRX looks very nice. Much better than my TDM  :lol
Today I finished my project „side stand without crash bar“. On the BMW R100R and R100GS the side stand is mounted in the crash bar. This means no crash bar = no side stand. Best solution in that case is a Mystic side stand. Never available used and new for 300 €. Mystic copies cost about 250  €. So I bought a damaged set of crash bars for 27 € incl. postage. And had some fun with, grinding welding and painting.

I thought the allure of the FZS600 was it's impressive midrange,
That´s the reason why I bought it  :)
I think that any change like other cams or end cans will spoil that...

FZS600 Fazer / Re: DROPPED BIKE - Any one got some naked pics
« on: 21 August 2015, 10:45:50 pm »
I don´t need the translator  :)
But even for me it is not clear what side parts he used.
He writes that he used a  fairing from the successor which should be the FZ6. But the FZ6 looks different. You can find aftermarket side covers for the FZ6 if you use the google picture search but those I found look different.
Later he writes that he found some "GFK" parts which means "glass fibre reinforced plastics" parts.
Parts made from this kind of material are typically aftermarket parts. But he gives no more hints from which supplier and for which bike the parts are.

(it's in german, sorry):
That´s very fine for me  :)
Normally I like more the conservative style with one round headlight. But this conversation has the advantage that this mighty headlight is a good balance to the rear end which is for me too dominant without front fairing.

How did you wire the nav to the horn?
Yo must connect the + wire of the nav to the brown cable of the horn an the negative wire to permanet ground (yellow arrow in  post #3). Not to the second wire of the horn.

I will never get my project bike, Pan euro st1100,
But on a Honda this might be a little bit different......
On my Honda NTV +12V is via the horn button. There is good chance that the Pan is similar and the wiring to the horn will not work.
Thank you for this helpful information  :rolleyes

The wiring of the horn is the same on your 98-99 like on my 2003 Fazer and my 1999 TDM. Brown is +12V via ignition switch and pink is ground  via horn button. On my Fazer the horn has a 10 A fuse that should be quiet similar on the early models. This is more than enough for the nav.

don't worry about battery drain as you take the unit off when you leave the bike so no power drain
You cannot generalize that. I have measured the cradle of my Zumo 660  and of my Zumo 500 without nav.
With the 500 cradle the reading was 0 but with the 660 cradle 72,5 mA. Somtimes older stuff is better  ;)
