FZS600 Fazer / Re: Crash bars
« on: 27 January 2014, 04:57:45 pm »
Yeah, I don't like them unfazed,  no supporting arm so mot as beefy as the Heed or Renntec!
I thought the same before my first off. I bought them originally for looks and fall over protection.
Was plesently surprised when they took the brunt in a the slide without anything other than road rash.

Spare clutch and brake levers

Why so

Ok incase you crash yeh, I would think in an off they are still workable or in such an off that they were not then that would be the least of your worries
Or should I get some myself

A habit I got into from trail riding.   :)

I had my bike knocked over years ago and the fall broke the brake lever.  :'( It  was a pain in the arse riding with it broken until I could get a replacement.

They take up so little space and it was a good a place as any to keep them. Better than getting lost in the garage  :lol

Full Nonfango kit, rack, side rails, top box and panniers.
Bought them years ago, because when the panniers are fitted they are still less the width of the mirrors.
Makes it easier to filter and get through tight spaces without have to think if the panniers will get through.
Like a cats whiskers if the mirrors get through the panniers will.  :lol

Would the bits of an old ZX6 fit

Worth checking out

Understandable, but should be no problem to a good machanic.
Many are not aware of left hand drill bits, which the the job much easier.

Aye, I should know as I sheared one of my replacements bolts a few weeks back......still not fixed it......but wouldn't dare do what you suggest is to ride with a focced up bolt
Mark it dead center with a punch. Drill it using a left hand drill bit and a variable speed drill, start slowly and do not use the full revs of the drill, to fast and your likely to break the bit.
The heat from the drilling will soften the loctite and as you are drilling it will also slowly unscrew the bolt. I would start with about a 4mm bit

So my idea of a long bar with a snap on 6mm Allen socket is just a pipe dream?? Buggar!!!!
Yes, but it is a great way of mangling all the bolts  :lol
No, the first five will be fine. Only the last bolt will be mangled, and it wont even be mangled as such, just smoothly rounded.

Fazer 1000/FZ1 corner / Re: She won't start... can anyone help!!!!!!
« on: 20 January 2014, 04:11:43 pm »
I drain the carbs, fuel filter and tank on a yearly basis as the bike is used all year in all weathers, but also drain the carbs if bike is slower than normal to start. Let the tank run as low as possible first, makes the job much easier and less wastefull.
Any bike I get to work on with starting issues I always drain the carbs first thing in the morning and many times it resolves starting issues. Then drain the fules and filters if the carb draining works.
The water congreates in bottom of the float bowl overnight and is the first to be picked up the the pilots jets when you go to start in the morning and since water does not ignite  :'(  it slows the starting process and or runs rough after starting.

Look here I posted a picture to help some time ago http://foc-u.co.uk/index.php/topic,6574.msg61788.html#msg61788.
Take care not to over tighten the drain screws when finished

I wrote to Nonfango last year as the locking mechanism on the box was very worn and they replied within the week.
They asked me to send pictures of the worn parts, replied with a price. I paid it and had the parts a week later. Very nice to deal with
The is the email info@nonfango.com I wrote to and it was on their website www.nonfango.com
