Hi, is the left front footrest/gear change assembly in good nick and available?

It was a long shot, thanks for the amusing thoughts guys, I am not keen to put a pizza box on the back of my bike.. More mulling to do, or just get used to taking the bar and chain off daily..

A slightly leftfield question here, but after a career swerve I now work as a tree surgeon, I have got the main tickets and am working regularly for one firm, just starting to do work up in the trees. In order to expand my experience I may do some subcontractor work around London - for which using the bike would be ideal. My forum request therefore I whether anyone has any experience of carrying around a chainsaw on a bike safely, ideally without removing the bar and chain, so something which encases both, is secure and ideally allows me to lock away some gear on the bike while I work, so I think a hardcase pannier system, no topbox as most of my climbing gear fits nicely into a haul bag which I would strap to the back of the bike..


Any ideas appreciated.


Cheers.

FZS600 Fazer / Replacement front brake lever and right wing mirror
« on: 05 December 2015, 05:10:55 pm »
Hi all,


Peed off to find my bike on its side when I returned to it today, my already bent front brake lever has broken to half its length, and the right wing mirror snapped off, has anyone got a line on either of these items?


I have read a lot of the threads on the replacement stubby levers, but if I can pick up a straight original for the same price I would as soon keep the bike original - I know that may be asking a lot, this must be the lever which gets snapped all the time..


Cheers, B

Cheers for the thought Darrsi, I did think of it but I had no ignition lights, nothing, wasnt sure I would even have a spark she was that flat. So I have taken the battery out and brought it home for a charge. Nothing like the bus on a warm day in all your gear! Will go and retrieve her tomorrow. Thanks..

Is anyone local to clapham with a set of jump leads could come and give a Foccer a bit of juice?

Somehow my battery drained dead overnight and I am stuck away from home.. Corner of north side Wandsworth common and spencer park..

Cheers!

Many thanks for the responses guys, I shall have a look at it as soon as I can - the bike has to make it home tonight first!


Apologies for the unwitting Americanism. My defence is that I am dating one, I have fallen into bad linguistic habits..

FZS600 Fazer / Snapped LH foot peg
« on: 14 January 2014, 06:23:12 pm »
Some unhelpful sod evidently hit the foot peg while the bike was parked the other day, and the peg now spins, which is unfortunate when it goes far enough around to fold away!

What is involved in changing this out? And does anyone have one if these in their spares box they would sell me?

Gen 1 fzs6 1999.

Thanks!

Looks sweet Christo, glad you are mobile again!

Anyone have any views on where to best source one of these nuggets? Despite best efforts with WD and heat I have stripped the allen head out of one of the pins..


As far as getting the old one out I was thinking to get myself a set of extractors and having a go. However the pin is not very thick for this sort of approach, I could well end up spoiling the thread in the caliper.


Any advice?


Thanks!  Brian

Thanks andthe nurse, but I should have updated this post, huge stroke of luck I have recovered my nicked bike with no major damage, had to replace the ignition switch where they had cut out the wiring, but otherwise all good. So thanks for the offer, but I am very fond of what I have!

« on: 24 July 2013, 01:44:36 pm »
Yep I guess the parent theory is best. If a responsible adult had the thief drop it back it could explain why the bike had no prints on it! That or the filthy state I keep her in ;-)

Recent joyrider broke mine off the bike, anyone got a spare?


Thanks!

FZS600 Fazer / Recovered my Fazer, what a result!
« on: 24 July 2013, 12:48:30 pm »
So happy to report I have my fazer back after its disappearance last week! It reappeared yesterday morning, parked up neatly blocking the pavement on my own road. Ignition wiring cut, half way up/down the steep hill I live on, still with a full tank of petrol.


I am mysified. The full tank suggests they did not go far, but they must have ridden it away, or I would have found it dumped at the bottom of the hill days ago (maybe after a failed bump start?); they presumably also had it running in order to dump it half way up a steep hill yesterday. If they had it running why only do a litre or so's worth of riding in the 3 days it was missing, and then bring it back to the very road they nicked it from?


I feel very lucky to have it back, no major damage, just the cut wiring, jimmyed seat which does not fit quite right now and missing plastic side panel on left side. Could have been a lot worse. Anyone got a spare one of those plastic covers?


Cheers.

Hey guys, I really should have pointed out I am in London, although I am prepared to travel for the right bike.


So far as the colour debate goes, my recently nicked bike was silver and I could not keep up with all the blue bikes on the ride outs. I put this down to the colour not my riding, so have to agree that blue bikes are the fastest, or concede I cant ride.


Christo, kind offer mate, but not too sure I can wait until September! Oh, and I have seen you ride, not sure it will be in one piece by then ;-)

For Sale & Wanted / Wanted - FZS600 Square eye
« on: 19 July 2013, 01:57:30 pm »
Due to theft of my much loved square eye I am looking at my next bike, when the insurance gets through.


So just a note to see if anyone knows of another of these lovely machines, ideally lowish mileage, one which has been kept by an enthusiast, maintained and loved. Exupnut says it has to be blue for some reason..


Thanks.

Thanks for the comments guys.


Exupnut, I was in the process of sorting out the garage, and have been promised space in one for my next bike!
