My front brakes on my 2003 fzs600 are sticking, it's only done 8,000 miles from new. I've just wound pistons back in.re fitted. And there still binding .is it worth talking the caliper off, pulling pistons out, lightly cleaning and re fitting, WITHOUT, buying a new seal kit, which are quite expensive for both sides, if buying genuine. I've heard using 1500 grit sandpaper on pistons, and leaving old brake & dust seals in. Then just refit nice clean pistons. Any thoughts , anyone ?????

Has anyone on here, got a motorbike dolly?
Platform with 4 castor's on it. So you can put bike on it's centre stand, and move your bike into tight spots in garage, or just spin it around. I'm thinking of getting one that's all. And would like a recommendation on one, if possible?
Cheers for any comments

Hi I have a fzs600 , 2003 foxeye model. Just seem to have noticed even idling, the revs, fluctuate. And the engine seens a little clunky every now and then, and seems like it wants to stays sometimes, when moving off, and it has a couple of times. It's only done 8,000 miles from new, so a mint bike really. Just about to do a oil & filter change today on it, see if that sorts it out. As shamefully haven't done one in about 4 or 5 yrs. Anyone near me, in ALTRINCHAM ,Manchester. Who could give it a good once over? Cheers if anyone could , or even reply.

Hi. I have a 2003 fzs600 with 7,000 miles on the clock only. Mint condition. And runs lovely.
My question is. Would my bike benefit from the carbs being balanced? As they've never been done. And how hard is it to do?
Or does anyone on here live close to Altrincham in Cheshire? Who could do it for me?
Any replies much appreciated,cheers Roy.

Hi, I have the 2003 fox eye model, carb
I'm thinking of putting a USB onto bike, or cigarette style power outlet. anyone got any ideas or pics of where to position it ?
Also do I connect direct to battery, because if I do, the USB/ cigarette power light will ALWAYS be on, so how do I get round this ? Any replies gladly appreciated, cheers Roy.

I have a 2003 fox eye fzs600
Under the petrol tank is the 2 coils. Does anyone know if the leads unscrew from the coil ?
The reason I'm asking is, I've just taken off plug caps from Ht lead, and screwed back onto the lead, but the plugs kept on turning, no tightening at all.( bike fired up , great though ) I might get away with trimming 1/2 an inch off leads, and screw caps back on, but it will be a tight one. So thought if the leads do unscrew from coil, I could simply get 4 new leads and screw caps back on.

I'm thinking of fitting hid lights to my fox eye 2003 bike. As seen some yesterday, and they look fab. Has anyone fitted them, and if yes, where's the best place to get them from. They are the h4 bulbs aren't they on my model ??
Cheers for any reply.😁😁😁😁

I have the fzs600 fox eye model, what's the bulb number for these ? I'm looking at a bulb swap, for a more brighter light. No mods just a straight bulb swap, but better light output. Cheers for any replies.

Hi , anyone help me. I've just done Matlock bath protest ride yesterday,sun.
When I'm going along at say 30 or 40 or 50, but keeping it rock steady, bikes engine is fine. Soon as I open it up, it stutters and judders. Also when on idle the revs are going up and done, the rpm needle is moving up and down a lot , maybe 200rpm difference. Ive just taken fuel filter off today, and one is on its way. Just took fuel tap out of tank, that looks fine. And ordered a new set of ngk cr8e plugs, also on way. Should this cure it ? Or is there something I'm missing. Any feedback would be much appreciated, many thanks Roy
