just ordered valve shims for the stuttering 600.....WEMOTO £3.65 each much better than the £8 yam stealer wanted

Fitted second set of front wheel bearings as the ones I fitted yesterday broke up after 6 miles.
Don't use KOYO bearings
they are shit,
Got them from a main dealer at a cost of £17, but how do you prove they are shit when you fitted them youself, they'll just say you focced them then you fitted them.

Got SKF bearings from agricultural parts firm today For £12 and fitted them using exactly same methods I used for the KOYO ones and they are running sweet :-)

my koyo ones are doing fine, could have been a faulty batch you got. What happened to them?

Rode about 6 miles started getting rumbling feeling from the front, just as I was starting to crank her up a bit

Nursed it home.
Front right completely broken up, 5 balls left intact, left hand side still in one piece but rough when rotated.

Originally only the right hand side had completely broken up and the left was still smooth, but I replaced them both with the KOYO ones because that's the way I was trained

Took the original one that was still good to the Agricultural parts place today and he matched it for me and that's how I have SKF bearings now.

originally only the LEFT hand side had completely broken up and the RIGHT was still smooth,o

Left it in the garage cos it was rainin' this morning

BUT...got home tonight to find the Scorpion can had turned up...seems to me it's as light as the titanium Akra I had on my first Gen 1. Day off tomorrow, so that'll be going on

This means that the parcel I missed on Saturday must be the rad guard, which I'll also pick up tomorrow...double result!
Downside...sh*te weather forecast for tomorrow (on my day off - again ) so no fun checking it out which I wanted to do to make sure it doesn't aggravate this damn stutter it's got.
So, I've had the bike, what, 3 weeks now, and bottomless pit syndrome is well established already. What little money that doesn't go on the bike itself goes in the fuel tank and out the exhaust.
Eat? Foc, no, what do I need to do that for...(rice & beans diet again - keep your distance!

Took delivery of some smd tail/brake lights, fitted them, found them not as bright as normal stock bulbs so took them out again!

Hooned it, after three weeks away from it! The ride was great, but my back is now killing me!!

Fitted my trimmed sub throttle plates I made yesterday and blocked off the ais system. Two custom maps loaded onto the TB juicebox, and its now pissing it down! :-(
Got work in an hour, oh well, it'll wait till tomorrow for the test ride

Hedgetrimmer · « **Reply #539 on:** 12 June 2013, 01:29:55 pm »

Stevierst, I feel your pain - new can and rad guard on, and oh, look, it must be Wednesday, cos now it's pissing down here too

mr self destruct · « **Reply #540 on:** 12 June 2013, 06:06:53 pm »

Bought it!

Picked it up from my local Honda dealer (was a part-ex to clear), and my first post-test ride on a big bike was a blast along the M6 straight to work!

And it's shaping up to be one of the best decisions I've made.

Unfortunately I'm still at work so haven't had chance to take any. Will do first thing tomorrow though.

Those red foxeyes are lovely looking bikes. Nice one.

Just tested the fz1 after my sub throttle plate fitment and map uploads.

It just started raining, and I couldn't wait to test her out. The result is.......
HOLY SHAMOLY!!! Wheelspin in third on 1/2 throttle!!!! And that's feeding the power in!!!
Power starts to climb rapidly from 3k, and I couldn't go too heavy on the throttle as she kept squirming the rear tyre!
She feels more like my old R1 now, violent! Highly recommended gen 2 owners

Fitted a set of crash bungs, hope i never need them but you never know.

fireblake · « **Reply #548 on:** 14 June 2013, 10:58:23 pm »

Fitted Renthal bars and Goodridge Stainless hoses. What a work up that was, bloody choke lever. I've had it out before and knew I'd have fun and games. Not got around to bleeding them yet though?
