General / Re: first ride, where to go ?
« on: 14 May 2012, 10:26:24 pm »
Pick roads that you know, I'm sure there must be plenty. I went out for an hour this afternoon (been at work at weekend) I thought about Brid but as I got to Driffield it started to rain so I turned towards Wetwang then back into Hull did maybe 50 miles but it got me out for a while.

I've a FZS600 2003. Since I got it, it has always idled "lumpy" riding below 3k revs was "jerking and snatching" (if that makes sense) the engine and clutch also rattled at idle. I balanced my carbs last week and now rattle gone smooth below 3k revs I can ride at 30/40mph in 6th gear and all still smooth.
 
Hope this may help.

Pipes looks nice, I'm going to remove and repaint mine but I might wait until the end of the year just in case.....What do you think of your crash bobbins / sliders I've been looking for some but they seem to vary greatly in price and I can't decide what to buy.

It must have been Yamaha (music) I contacted as they didn't even know there was an issue never mind about them sorting it FOC so it looks as if I'm going to have to sort it myself.

Perhaps a poor earth on the rear light cluster and the brake light comes on by picking up an earth through the side lamp circuit causing the front lights to glow? Just a thought.

Just done a bit of surfing and it looks as if the 1000 and 600 are not the same. But thanks for your kind offer.

FZS600 Fazer / Fender extender.
« on: 24 April 2012, 06:39:28 pm »
Hi, I'm thinking of getting a fender extender to stop all the water (If I miss judge the weather) stones and debris etc from being thown at my engine rad etc. My question is who has on,e do they work, are some better than others, should any be avoided. I just thought I'd ask before I buy one, I've seen them for under £20 but if a couple of quid more is money well spent then so be it. But I'm a Yorkshireman and don't want to waste money.
Thanks
Andy

I've been in contact with my dealer and with Yamaha. Please see below.
Reply from dealer;
The part you require for your FZs600 2003  model is available to order from us here at ########.
You can collect from our store, or we can send the part to you.
Total cost of the part including vat is £4.20 ( In store today ) Unfortunatley the Yamaha FOC replacement campaign has long finished.
We also have the locking tab washer £4.10 Inc vat
Many thanks

Reply from Yamaha
 
Thank you for your enquiry about your  Yamaha FZS600.
 The service note you have mentioned relates to a service check of the torque of the front sprocket nut.
 If your motorcycle has ever had a replacement chain and sprocket set, the fitting technician will have re-torqued ok.
 I hope this information is of assistance.

My reply
 
[font=]Thank you for your reply but I’m more concerned about the actual suitability of the front sprocket nut as mine is only 9mm wide(original) and I’m lead to believe by several other people that Yamaha have found this nut to be inadequate and hence replaced it FOC with an upgraded 12mm nut and gearbox output shaft when required. I’m aware as you say the new nut is fitted with a higher torque setting but as mine is not the upgraded 12mm nut I feel that over tightening it may actually do more harm than good. At the moment mine seems fine but as ignoring it could lead to serious engine damage I’m anxious to get it resolved.[/font]

And Finally from Yamaha
 
Hello Andrew,
 
 The nut for the front sprocket has a different part number mentioned as it comes in a kit with the tab washer. The nut in the kit is the same as the standard. i.e no change.
 
 I hope this information is of assistance

So according to Yamaha the nut has never changed? obviously wrong.  I know I could just change the nut but I'm concerned if I touch it and find anything else...........  If I phone Yamaha who do I ask for and what do I say if they say nothings changed?
 
Sorry it's a bit long.
 
Help Andy

Just Emailed Yamaha with all bike info to see if I can get them interested in replacing nut FOC if not I'll buy one and fit myself. Has anyone had any luck with Yamaha recently?

Contacted main dealer regarding the dreaded nut and their reply was"Unfortuately the Yamaha FOC campaign has long finished" Locknut £4,20 washer £4,10 inc vat. So hopefully the shaft is ok and it's going to cost £10 for piece of mind.

Hello, How did you get on with Yamaha? I've noticed that my sprocket nut is the old 9mm size and I'm not sure if I should just buy a new one or ask Yamaha to change it. As the bike is 03 with 37k miles I'm not sure how interested they will be.
