FZS600 Fazer / Exhaust Headers
« Last post by Middy2000 on Today at 01:38:17 pm »
Got an advisory for an exhaust leak and it's on the webbed section of the headers where they meet.  Was going to explore option of welding it as I'm aware of the nightmares people have with the studs.

Decided to have a tentative fiddle and to my amazement (relief) all 8 nuts turn. The ones I can see it's definitely nut and not stud that's turning.

So....should i replace the nuts only or when I fit new headers should I remove the studs and replace too?

General / Breakdown - bike electrics go dead
« Last post by orion kid on Today at 12:48:06 pm »
Any experience of this or suggestions what it could be before I go back to the mechanic greatly appreciated -


I don't ride much in winter but a couple of months ago I rode into the city centre probably early February. While riding slowly in heavy traffic around the streets, my bike just died. Dash went blank and restart attempts just resulted in useless clicking sound. I had it recovered and checked. They said it was just an old battery and changed it and checked everything. Does that sound right ? I though once you have a running engine it should be a self sustaining system.


Anyhow, two days ago I went to ride into work. Again zero electric power and totally blank dash. I charged the battery overnight for 12 hours and in the morning it showed "Charged and maintaining" on the charger and the bike started (I didn't ride anywhere). Now this morning I went for a ride along the coast and after about 5 miles, same thing again. Down shifted to 2nd and slowed to let an oncoming car pass at which point bike again died. I had enough battery to attempt a few restarts but not enough to get going again, managed a few rotations and then useless clicking again. I have left it there while I decide what to do. Go back with another new battery, or have it recovered some place else maybe..


2008 FZ6 S2 ..


Thanks

Worth a look too. There are some different angled alternatives to look out for, with similar codes, mainly with 05F in them (with added -R for red), but this explains the differences, and i can't see any reason why they shouldn't do the job too.


For the record, in the UK NGK are now known as NTK, not sure how that effects things but may be why they were discontinued.

thanks for your replies, ive just about ordered the last 3 from a dealer and 1 from amazon who now have only 1 left after finding about ngk no longer selling to the public, everywhere i looked was out of stock, apparently there still available in germany :rolleyes

Ebay, https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/155153533208?

Wemoto have 4 left in black, if anyone is interested. https://www.wemoto.com/search?search=Spark+Plug+Cap+NGK+SD05F+Straight+For+10%2F12mm+Plug++Black&search_click=1&toshow=

And buying from abroad is not so bad at all, this lot in Holland have really helped me out in the past being the only place having what i needed and they do comprehend the need for a quick postal delivery too. Worth keeping the address for future reference. https://www.cmsnl.com/yamaha-fzs600_model35432/

I've had a look about and all the reasonably priced ones (under £3 each) are out of stock everywhere. Then the price jumps to £7+ (starting with Ebay).
Can always ask about their next stock date obviously though.

The ones in that ebay link all look like used OEM lock sets, so they shoudl just be a straight swap.

There isn't one, red caps are aftermarket OE they were black.

If you want red just look for the NGK equivalent in red.
