pretty much any that you can fit, but im pretty sure M&P do one for about £10
i dont like paying 100% markup for a sticker on a bag that goes in the bin

Sounds like sidestand switch - have a look you should see an industrial looking micro switch that has a plunger located so the side stand touches it when the stand is up.
yep defo the sidestand switch then, obviously they dont want you pulling off with the sidestand down,
the clutch bit is a secondary issue which can be solved later, as its not a major issue

28
heads thinking sidestand switch isnt disengaging (putting in gear kill)
i cant remember if clutch is always needed to start or not im sure someone will say below
do you still have a neutral light coming on, if you dont then than would say a problem with the neutral indicator switch/wire aswell

dont open it- just let it settle - brake fluid is hygroscopic (i think right word) so it takes in water from the air humidity
you keep saying not intentionally (dont let your kids carry the bottle lol)
im gonna stand by the brake lines need replaced they take on UV damage and repeat putting under pressure can give spongy brakes by them expanding under the line pressure as they degrade.

do you still have the original brake lines?? the 20 year old rubber!!!
rubber degrades over time, there is various views on this and some say replace after 6 years (preferences may differ)
i replaced mine with a set of braided from wezmoto and felt a huge difference (and looked great)

all i will say on this is make sure you buy from a reputable supplier, there was a huge wave of fake known brands a few years back and because they were pointed out the sales slumped but they are still out there,
i got some dodgy EBC a few years back and bloody hell they were shit and didnt get better as they bedded in, i even put the old ones back in after a heart stopping 300 mile work trip, when i got back from the next trip the new ones were fitted and the difference was noticable instantly in comparison.

what area are you based in, there might be someone nearby who can offer you a hand
its a two person job unless you have a basic bike lift or something heavy to sit on the back of the bike while its on the center stand
(never underestimate a bag of building sand :lol )

clamp bolt torque settings are 30nm/22ft lb

Looks like its been lowered to me. Theres about 2 inches of fork sticking through the top yoke, so id guess that the rear has been dropped the same. You could revert back to stock height, im sure someone on here must have the length of the links reqd for the rear


well spotted - ive been looking at other photos and the swingarm looks like its in the right place to the heelplate
i bet she drops into corners bloody quick if front has been dropped and the rear hasnt due to the reduced rake


also look at the angle of the tank. im gonna say the rear hasnt been lowered

« on: 18 January 2021, 10:30:32 pm »
why do i have a feeling someone at westway oils has a cushy marketing job where they just scour the internet finding if its mentioned anywhere and post that.


So what?


4 years ago I had this discussion on here and decided to be the Guinea pig to try it out.


4 years and several oil changes later, i can confirm it is absolutely fine, and a good price too.


That's what everyone wanted to hear isn't it?
im just saying what a job it must be to have that job
i would rather trust the opinion of the many (including the classic motorcycle racing club) who have endorsed this oil.
it just seems a bit of a great job running all over the net reading forums
i heard of this company from years ago within the classic racers circle and have no problem with them at all

i would look for a replacement tank, if your lucky and willing to wait a little then you might be lucky and get the same colour


as for the fairing damage you have to make sure the cage isnt bent
mine went naked because it was twisted and trying to straighten it became a nightmare


as for paint i found ford moondust silver to be a pretty close match and its available in rattlecans from halfords

CNC levers on eBay have span adjusters on both brake and clutch.


i bet my left testicle they are not cnc machined, they will be cast in a cheap alloy

bar muffs can be a great alternative as i was having a similar problem years ago while riding about 30miles each way for work throughout winter
i ended up only wearing 'magic gloves' under the bar muffs and was nice and warm (we need to invent footrest muffs as my feet were still frozen)

41
for some reason i have a feeling the yzf600 thundercat drive and cable is a direct swap
but dont hunt me down if im wrong :rollin :rollin

42
if your still hunting for a solution your best bet to go this route is to first measure the axle size and look for bikes with the same axle size from this list
http://organ-donor.org/motorcycle-data/motorcycle-front-axle-diameter/   (fazer aint on there for some reason)
then figure out which of those bikes has a analogue speedo drive and grab one from ebay and hope its the same fitting or even better go to a bike breakers and ask if they have a box of them to look for something similar

yeah mate, i was just coming on here to delete this post as for some reason ebay have not liked my account and permanently suspended it ffs

i should probably say that they may need re-balancing after a full clean so dont just go thinking its a pull them off have them cleaned and throw them back in.
i will check bench balance after (only to check not to change) but this is part of having carbs cleaned of any gunk that is sitting in there there and its external appearance
if your close to preston then your welcome to come round and i can balance them for you aswell properly.

FZS600 Fazer / anyone need carbs cleaned for free
« on: 14 December 2020, 09:58:25 pm »
due to an external hard drive crashing i am needing to take new photos for a new business im setting up
unfortunately i have no dirty carbs left and no photos of the clean ones before i cleaned them
so if anyone has a set of carbs and would like them given a FREE multistage ultrasonic clean and even a soda blast then let me know
you will get my address and my email so i can send you some pics.
you send them to me and i will pay for postage back probably within 48 hours (need photos quick and run out of friends with dirty ones)


all i ask is you yourself take some photos before posting and after you receive them back -maybe a bit of sending people my way :lol


im on here most days , so let me know either below or DM

« on: 09 December 2020, 10:29:01 pm »
i think i was running at 15w and run that bike like an absolute dog on long range high speed runs.
it did affect slow town runs for comfort so adding more pre compression would make it worse for that
i was in the lake district so had open country roads so accepted it, if its town riding you do then i would seriously reconsider
dows anyone know if the caps have the same thread from earlier to later models for a possible cheap upgrade ??

if your looking for a firmer front end then a thicker fork oil could just be the answer, im sure its covered all over here, inc by myself
-i prob should have left by now but im still here and want another fazer project lol

if thats all you have done then i would say you have nipped some wires within the switch cluster causing a short.
