Help please/ I went to Glasson today and met a few fellow foccers. Great ride and people but noticed from the forks,over broken tarmac (read holes) although shallow the forks seemed to chatter.That I am afraid is the only way to describe it.It seems to bang at the extent of the forks. I am only lightweight and don't think think the springing is light but was wondering if it could be the oil? not sure what is in as only just got the bike. Would it be best to go standard or what would anyone care to recommend please.
Many thanks Barrie

Thanks for the comments. I cannot take the credit for the work as that is how I bought it. I will look for the make of belly pan and post it up for you.

Would it be possible to have at the top of each topic a click box 'view first unread posts' ie if you have read a topic up to date and you go on the same topic next day you can click the tab and it takes you to the first unread posting (as in the box)
I know they have that on the Passion Ford and VFR sites but dependent upon how a site is configured I suppose?
It saves you going through all the post each time.

Hope to make it,weather and SWIMBO dependent, but coming from St Annes so probably see you there. If you set off about 11 then I reckon you should get there around 12.30 ISH.

Thanks for the heads up on the sprocket.Checked it this afternoon and was loose. Washer still there. The nut is 9mm wide an nearly goosed threads. For now.until I order the new nut kit, I drilled and tapped the nut from the spanner flats through to the threads for a 4mm grub screw,Drilled a shallow indent,about 1.5mm dp into the shaft for the grub screw to tighten into. Loctited together until new kit arrives but it seems ok so far and will keep my eye on it untill then.
Regards the centre stand there were non standard dog bones to jack up the back end, now back to standard and yokes dropped 5mm.
Thanks again.
Cheers Barrie

Hi, Just got this Fazer on Tuesday. Does anybody recognize it? Was jacked up at rear with red links and had wood on the bottom of the stand. No centre stand.Looks great for its age, possibly restored to some degree.Think it came from n/east and was p/x in Blackpool.
Would love some info to go with it.

Another option is ride to me,park bike in garage and go into Blackpool bus or taxi to hotel there and have night out. come when going home,pick up bike on be on your way. that way you can leave your bike gear with bike locked up. This is providing we are not away.(highly unlikely this time of year.

Hi, Does it have to be in Blackpool? Come on down to St Annes 3 mls or so,Plenty on the front ie Inn on the Prom with dedicated m/c parking. Wife goes there for swimming,looks clean but not sure on room prices.Others along there also and a new Travel Lodge above M&S just opened.Prom about 10min walk from us if you want a garage.

Ow Do. Hi folks,65 yr old rocker road race marshall (just back from Moto GP Silverstone September), just got me a 1998 fzs 600. Traded my VFR800Fi1 2002 for it as now, swimbo says i'm too knackered for a bum up position!!!!!! Previous must have put shorter d/b's on and a piece of wood on the side stand to raise it at the rear. will put it back to standard and drop the triples down (as on the VFR) as I am a s/ar#e no centre stand so will maybe be looking for one. Ordered the d/bones so on the go.
All in all a better riding position so well pleased as for its age in superb condition (so far).
Looking forward to good input from here as much as from the VFR site.
Barrie
