FZS600 Fazer / Re: Ignition coil life?

Cheers for the reply I’m on it. Just tweaked the little tang and refilled in the bench with the aid of spirit levels etc. I’ve already noticed the bubble issue you mentioned but we’re getting there, a mm or so within the mating surface now so a cuppa now while they’re draining. The only concern is if that bubble was there when it was tested on the bike I may still be chasing a non-problem 🤬

It was previously examined by a ‘professional’ due to time restrictions. Hoping this is it sorted because the bike needs to be gone soon

Very unusual for float levels to be out on the 600, unless somebody before you tampered with them or replaced the float valves with spurious one. Did you use a clear pipe to check the levels? If so it can be easy to get it wrong. When you open the float drain to fill the pipe you may get an air bubbles and put the reading off. With a long pipe and it has filled lift it up tap it a few times and then drop it down below where you had it. This will normally dislodge any air bubbles.

Why did you adjust the float levels?

I didn’t. But I didn’t check them either, just drained them

After all that it’s the fuel level in the #3 float bowl, that’ll teach me for assuming!!

For Sale & Wanted / Alto Kew (Nilfisk) 30HA Master 1 ST Heated Pressure Washer
« Last post by Gnasher on 13 April 2024, 06:33:34 pm »
This is for the same customer as the RD400, Blade and Busa (still for sale) again this was her late husbands.  It was fully serviced by a local company (Chandlers) not long before he died, it was never used post the service and has been sitting in her garage ever since.  She was planning on keeping it to clean her patio and garden furniture etc but since pulling it out of her garage last week, has decided it's just too big for her to handle and to sell it.

These are very good quality washers, cold or heated (diesel or heating oil), they are no longer in production but parts, should you need them, are readily available.  I'm told that the replacement for the 30HA series isn't a patch on these and they sell for 4k ish upwards.   The 30HA Master 1 is a industrial/pro level washer, this is the ST version with heavy duty coiled hose, this is the 2100 psi version. 

The manuals can be found here https://www.nilfisk.com/global/products/pressure-washers/mobile-pressure-washers/mobile-hot-water-pressure-washers/compact/alto-30ha-master-1-230150-12a-eu/p_7292005/

She's looking for £480 ovno, it's located in the Melton Mowbray area, this is a serious bit of kit, it's a steal!

Can’t be bothered with it tonight, carbs out again in the morning. Any easy shortcuts to setting this up?

On the plus side, this morning we put a deposit on a very nice Fazer 8. This 600 might still end up in the river 😆

Fazer 1000/FZ1 corner / Re: ais removal kits?
« Last post by Falcon 269 on 13 April 2024, 09:44:53 am »
Quick and cheap option - although not the most beautiful - is to cut the pipe on the original AIS fitting about 1 - 1.5" above the existing stub fitting then bend and crimp the short length of pipe.

Personally, I did the tap with small spanner thing, too, but didn't find it a PITA and it took less than 30 mins to do all 4 stubs. :)
