There's another question,
Which fingers do you use and how many ? Depends on how wet it is Like balance and method, do what feels good 3

That's a drain hole/passage to the spark plug well, there is another the other side, should be kept clear so any water that gets there can drain away

There is the mod to use the dip filament of the right hand headlight and have both sides lit on dip.
But I think the threads you refer too were by Paulfzs, he has done three threads I think about lights, I think these are the main two, http://foc-u.co.uk/index.php/topic,15368.msg175026.html#msg175026 http://foc-u.co.uk/index.php/topic,15666.msg179206.html#msg179206 8

Infiniteloop, I notice you have an original 9mm front sprocket nut on there, search on here, you will find loads about it, do not worry about it, but I would bear it in mind when you next change chain and sprockets to get the updated 12mm one

The son of a friend used a lighter to warm up the end of a bit of PVC pipe to put it onto their fuel tap, in pushing it on shook a little bit of fuel out of the valve which dribled down the pipe, then he proceeded to warm up the other end to push it onto the carb, yep you've guessed it . .
The first liquid to hand to put out the burning pipe was a can of two stroke oil, Yep he did , just the thought makes me cringe, lucky enough I think the flame was by then just licking at the end of the tube and the oil smuthered it, but still Fooking Hell 11
FZS600 Fazer / Re: USB/Charger Port« on: 28 May 2015, 11:32:10 pm »why RED? I was only trying to emphasise your coment as correct, I have modified my post, hope it now reads as I meant it Oh - and yes, the link slappy put up has an in line fuse in the 5th picture as well, looks like a connector but it's actually open and you can see a glass fuse sticking out of one half of it. 12
FZS600 Fazer / Re: USB/Charger Port« on: 28 May 2015, 10:31:03 pm »"A 15A fuse for this application may well be incorrect," - Absolutely !! - VERY likely incorrect & probably dangerous !!! The fuse will only protect what is after it, hence why it should be kept as close as possible to the battery. The example anutz gives you can just about see a fuse holder behind the main box with a red wire either side of it, about 5" from the ring terminal for the battery. Rating wise I would only expect a 1amp or at the most 2amp fuse, but it depends on the device, how many outputs, etc 13
FZS600 Fazer / Re: USB/Charger Port« on: 28 May 2015, 08:11:11 pm »
Fuses are always good, as close to the battery as posible, if they are correctly rated they protect the wires after them
An abraded or crushed wire under the seat can become a fire starter 14

Zef Eisenberg's turbine bike, goes out as a streetfighter and knocks up 231.5mph
Then decides he can get some more out of it so puts some clip-ons on, so is now not classed a streetfighter, but still has no fairing and pushes it to 233.7mph And that belly pan don't look that aero dynamic either http://guernseypress.com/news/2015/05/19/zef-rides-his-turbine-powered-bike-into-record-books-again/ 16

if those are no good, you should be able to get a piece of suitable pipe off a reel at a motor factors or a hardware place that does rubber hoses for a quid or two, £20 for that is just , there is always fleebay, just measure up the bore and length

FZS600 Fazer / Re: Downpipe choices« on: 18 May 2015, 06:58:53 pm »
the shop on those is listed as "sandybikespares", not sure if these are what is refered to on here as sandy pipes and they have been re-branded.
I went with Motad when I changed mine, phoned them and quoted an ebay price, as others here have aswell. Can't remember how long I have had them, but still happy 18

Did you check your fuel tank for any water, that contamination came from somewhere.
And if you have any water sloshing around the bottom of your tank you will get a little bit picked up every now and again and it's going to be a recurring problem Check the drain tube is clear that drains the area under the filler cap. and check the face that the rubber seal of the cap goes down onto is not rusty, mine was, cleaned it with scotch bright pad, treated it with loctite rust converter, let it dry and put a light smear of silicon grease on it - happy days 20

If he has that much gunk down there maybe there is some on the exhaust as well, anyway as slappy said clean it up, but I prefer to use spray can chain lube for pivots like the stands, it sprays on easy, flows into the pivots and dries to a grease so lasts longer than wd40
By the way welcome to the site ........ good choice of bike, yep, reason to be a proud owner ........ normal request, show us a picture of your bike 24
General / Re: Clarkson« on: 25 March 2015, 06:17:37 pm »It doesn't seem like much of a punishment for JC if he just switches to another broadcaster for more money. And in the position of being sacked from the corporation this seems a bit far fetched From the guardian website - "Meanwhile, Clarkson’s stint presenting BBC1 quiz Have I Got News for You is still due to go ahead on 23 April. However, sources say the final decision as to whether or not Clarkson will takes part will be down to him and it may be that he wishes to sever his links with the corporation entirely." Yeh that makes sense, you have got to love the media |
