General / M.O.Ts at last

It had to come,  having lived here  for 20 years there has always been talk of MOT-ing bikes, finally, starting in April its going ahead for the first time ever...
The reason for not having a test is that goverments own statistics proved there is no connection between accidents caused by bad maintenance, the French way of taking your own responsibility  of keeping your machine serviced, after all, its your life... However, the new test is basicly a visual check, and lasts for 3 years, so in a way pretty pointless. Having had tests every yesr in the UK its no big deal for me, and at less than 50 euro not expensive.... c'est la vie.

FZS600 Fazer / Front sprocket + 1 tooth
« on: 10 June 2022, 03:59:03 pm »



Hello.


I've read somewhere that you can go up one tooth on the front sprocket to lower the gearing without changing either chain or rear sprocket  (bikes only done 15,500 kms so in excellent condition)  if I can then I guess one with a cush drive would be best ? has anyone done it, and recommend a particulat sprocket... any help appreciated.


It's just to try out as we have long roads and sweeping bends here, and it'd be nice to drop the revs a bit.


Also for some reason since I joined,  I can't use the search button..


Thank you

Hello,


First post apart from introducing myself


I've been trying to use the search button to find topics that I need ( brakes, oils, clutch cable etc ) for my newly purchased Fzs,  but whatever I type in to the search panel it always comes back with nothing, I guess I'm doing something wrong ? Help appreciate


Just one quick question while I'm here,  I've got 5 X 2 litre cans of fully synthetic  10 W 50  ( bargain price at a local dealers last year) is it ok for a 2003 600 ?



Thanks for any help on the above

Bonjour


In my mid seventies now, sadly the XJR has to go, its getting a bit heavy for moving around, but I'm still keeping with a Yamaha.
a 2003 but with only 15000 kms, needs a good tidy, but I'm good at that.
No doubt be on here for a few tips.
