Cheers darsi, Few things to keep me busy while I save up for shiny bits, Got a complex now that I look like I'm riding a fazer monkey bike, The more I look, the lower it seems.......

Had a swatch on that link,
I've had quite a dramatic drop then,
Hadn't thought about the front forks but I'm gonna need to check that one out,
There's me thinking it was as simple as changing over dog legs,
For th time being though I've gotta concentrate on my 500 mile journey back to Wales with the bike on the trailer, maybe more than suspension I'll be worrying about if I don't get it tied up right.
Cheers for all the info, great nelp

Evenin geezer, I've got a tip-don't pack your garage storage system with too much weight or it'll collapse and aim for your fazer,I'm not sure who wud be so silly but if I did I reckon they prob got off very lightly indeed, another tip is if you had a garage storage system then it wouldn't mean you needed 20 cans of de icer and the whole back catalogue of lidl power tools to put on it and try to hurt your fazer

Thanks peeps, great info,
I just measured centre to centre and mine are 150mm centre to centre,
They also look the same as the ones on the link from adie r from the sports bike shop,
So it looks like mine is lowered, like I said I'm 6 foot so I could really do with replacing these for standard but reckon I'll go for the jack up, if the jack up Improves handling then surely the lower down kit degrades it?
It makes sense its lowered as my bike has the hallmarks of city riding,low miles,no fork marks or damage, and the tyres had never been over,
I must be honest I think the bike handles great and I've still not fettled with suspension settings yet but I am an amateur so don't know any different anyway.
If any use to anyone, the arm had a small letter s close to one end, no idea what for but maybe a reference.

Whilst giving the bike an acf 50 shower today I noticed some shiny (ish) arms that seemed to recognise from somewhere as being bike jack up or lowering devices, can anyone tell me what colour the originals are and how to tell if they are jack up or lowering type,I'm about 6 foot and the bike doesn't seem that low to me,the ones on the bike are gold, they just stuck out as not being quite dirty enough to be original.

To put this one to bed I've got the bike back with a completely different set of carbs donated by the dealer from one of their bikes, they built the bike up after finding the metal fragments and number 3 carb was still peeing out fuel and they don't know why, mechanic reckons it'll be easier for them to just buy another set as they are spending so much time on them but I reckon he'll fiddle about a bit more with them, but I'm happy with my new balanced set and the bike is running mighty fine, result!

Hey tony,
I was so hoping that your intro was longer than mine but sadly it was not to be,
Stupidly I didn't check how much gumpf others had written before I typed out my life story,
Anyway, glad u enjoying the bike, sounds nice,
Since yours is low mileage like mine it might be an idea to order the upgraded sprocket nut, there's tons o stuff bout it on here and saves a rebuild for 8 quid, I just got one through dealer.

Why thank you kind sir
An offensive welcome is so much better than no welcome in my book,
I may have to edit my intro though, I wouldn't leave my front grass ten inches tall without cutting it down to size.
But then it is a forum and a forum without type wouldn't be too interesting either and anyone doesn't like reading can always go on YouTube and watch cats doin crazy shit!

Thanks for the ideas Fazerider, being a silly boy i posted this on the fz6 forum by mistake so its on both forums now,
for info though to follow is pasted in giving the latest update and ill let yous know when up and running good:-
Alas they think they've solved it, mechanic asked me to go down take a look,found some tiny particles of metal that have been bouncing about,looks like they've come from imperfections with the casting marks on top face of one of the carbs,one of the pieces suspiciously had taken the shape of the hole that the needle goes into as if it had been sucked in and blocked it,they gonna rebuild the bike and see what happens, the mechanic wasn't saying it as if it was anything he had often seen, bit of a strange one indeed.fingers crossed.

Hey I'm glad I've been elevated to spare rib status!, like the hot tub story but you should o dragged it out another 500 words or so, I can't say I often go up that way much much then I never had a bike to give me the excuse,some stunning roads in Wales to be sampled, may well end up in the area with a dry mouth and welsh cake withdrawal sweats some time,I'm not too interested in spending half hour getting the kit on to go 5 minute ride round the block so Brecon, Llandovery, north Wales all seem likely targets, shit I still wrote over 6 lines worth, p.s -if u gonna cook the wife in the tub I suggest adding a bottle o wine and a few sprigs o rosemary and lowering the heat coz women are toughening up these days!!!!!

So I ride about 120 miles up to glencoe and the bike is fine and gets a good blast, I top up the tank for return journey, mpg is fine, on way back we pull in for a quick break and I smell petrol then notice fuel pouring out from the hoses underneath the bike, bike runs but gets progressively worse and vibration felt through pegs with dash sometimes vibrating also,example overtaking in 3rd is a lull, then picks up until mid rev range lull again before apparently then going full power at high revs like a v-tec kicking in on my old type-r Honda car, so I get home eventually by skin of my teeth and use a full tank of fuel in 100 miles, half generously donated to the ozone,the carb floats and seals have already been replaced by Yamaha after it did similar in my dads garage, I wonder if anyone has suffered the same, could it be the floats again or could it be simply a bit of dirt got in from the tank etc, it's not like it happened straight after sitting in garage for a while as it ran fine all the way up and it got a good thrashing.its in the yam dealers again so I'll see what they come up with and post result.
