I know that this has been a topic that has been discussed multiple times on this forum but......

last night I managed to snap off one of the bleed nipples on the rear caliper .  I'm hoping that I should able to remove the portion of the nipple left in the caliper.  It snapped off level with the body of the caliper.
I also know that getting hold of a second hand caliper is next to impossible as is getting one for an early fzs1000 it seems.....and I don't really want to pay £400 for a new one.

SO my question in 2 parts is :
Are there any other options when it comes to calipers that will fit? (from other bikes/years)

Any tips for getting this broken one out.  I'm hoping that an extractor in the hollow bolt and maybe a bit of heat will work, I have been applying oil to the tread hoping to break the tension.  I don't really want to have to re-thread the hole as I'm not very good at it.

I know that there has been topics on the topic of coolent hoses before but I couldn't see the answer to my question....

has anyone attempted to swap the coolent hoses from another engine ie a 2003 fzs600 or an fzs1000 onto an 2001 fzs600????

Can anyone pleasw confirm the internal diameter of the standard fuel hose that comes from the tank petcock?

ah that would be why I cant find them 

So.....i stripped the forks from my 01 fazer 600 so that i could oil change and seal change.
having got them in bits i discovered that ine topout spring is missing  . So has been missing for about a year.

What i want to know is if anyone knows where i can get one from or what size it is if its just generic.  I tried ebay and google but didnt find anything. And the parts list i have seen show the same numbers for two bits and i dont know which is which 

Hope someone can get me pointed in the right direction.

hi guys. has everyone survives the snow. 

i have been looking at these 3d domed plates offered by deamon plates. just wondering if they are legal. therebseema to be some difference of opinion on the subject. just wondered if anyone on here has them or knows if they are legal

I ride all year round.  have done so for the last 5 years.  i rode my little 125 to work and back in 3inches of snow (very scary, but so much fun at the same time).
 
i have ridden my FZS600 in the snow too.  i dont have a car to its my transport so i ride in all weathers all year round.  if i can get the bike out of the garage and off the drive i will give it a go.
 
i think it all comes down to judgement, if the weather is really cold i make allowances, i leave bigger gaps take conering more sedatly and avoid using the brakes.

hey guys
 
anyone here have a multi bike insurance policy.  or know any ways to insure more than one bike
 
 

Hi Guys
 
Anybody know if there is a gasket round by the rocker cover on an 01 fzs600, i seem to have a small leak from somwhere round that area.  the leak is above the plugs but below the silver bit ontop (sorry my mechanical knowlage is very new).  it seems to be a small leak as im not having to top the oil level up at all.
 
If it is a gasket, whats the proper name and where can i get one?
 
many thanks

that looks in well good condition for an 01.
 
i have the same bike, but in metalic blue.

Im getting mine Vinyl wrapped. rather than a respray. 
 
if you can find a place near you that does it then it may be cheaper than a repaint.
 
its only a vinyl coating that goes ontop of the old paint work.  it can be done in any colour or design you wish
