Morning All,


I have discovered a small split/cut on the underside of the exhaust, on the downpipe side rather than the end can section.. if you know what I mean.. so closer to the front of the bike.


I don't want it to turn into a drama so i don't want to try and remove the downpipes at this moment in time... 


I'm thinking either JB weld.. or... because I've just got a new cheap welder, to try and weld it??


Does anyone know if it's OK to weld an exhaust without taking it off the bike? not sure where/how to earth it properly.. or if it will destroy the bike..


I guess disconnecting the battery and a minimum...??

A lot of chat (rightly so) about upgrading the rear caliper of the 600 to the blue dot...


What about the fronts? Is it an easy upgrade from the blue dot to the FZS1000 gold dots??


Just bolt off, bolt on??


I don't have any issues with my blue dots, I think they are fine.. but have the chance of golds at a good price... and well...always good to buy stuff... 


 

Hello foccers....


So I've done my fork seals, bushes and rebuilt 1 fork with no issues...


The second one however is doing my head in... the damper bolt isn't sealing properly and is now leaking oil out.


I've got the damper rod held properly, so it's not spinning.


At first I torqued it up to the correct 30 NM spec as per the service manual.


Then I've hit it with the impact driver... both on the bench, and built up (minus the oil) on the bike.


I've taken it apart several times and made sure all the threads on the bolt and rod are clean and have no damage.


Everything I've done so far doesn't stop the oil dripping out... it's not a heavy flow, just drops every minute or so.... but obviously I don't want to rebuild the bike and use it knowing this...


Has anyone had this before?!?


Any other ideas to solve it?


cheers!!


 

if you're sitting on the bike.... the left side outer coil is 1 and the inner is 2...


what is it for the right hand side of the bike?


is the inner coil No 3 and outer No 4???


 

Hi guys,


I think my rear caliper for my '99 fazer 600 is on its lasts legs.


Rather than clean and rebuild, I would rather get the 'upgraded' 1000 rear caliper.


Does anyone have one for sale on here?!?!?


 

Morning....


Well my speedo is still not working, but now the trip and odometer have also stopped working.


So I'm looking to get a set of clocks...


My bike is a 2000 plate.

Hello all...

I noticed the other day that one of my 'dash' bulbs was out (the one on the left of the speedo)

everything else was working fine.

so I decided to sort this out, and upgrade to white bulbs off ebay, and all went well and I got it all sorted out within 30minutes or so...(see below!!)



I went out on the bike today, and the speedo is dead!

everything else still works, including the trip meter... it's just the speedo that's now working.

does anyone have any idea what could be wrong after changing a few bulbs over?!?

thanks!!

 just wanting to say hello, I picked up a 2000 plate FZS600 yesterday... lots of fun!


decent enough condition, just under 20k miles, comes complete with a few cosmetic issues, but nothing major or concerning...


I'm looking for a rack and top box if anyone knows of one going for sale!


and although I'm sure you all know what the bike looks like... here is a picture
