Any decent cover will do the job. Be aware it will usually mark the paint, starting on the corners. Many say their cover is lined and wont mark the bike, but truth is the grit is usually attached to the bodywork not the cover.. Invest in a decent security chain and fasten the bike to something immovable..

Thank mate really appreciate the heads up, also don't worry, the uni provide bike parking bays with clamps into the floor that you put your chain through

Hi guys


I'm moving to university this month, and I'm taking my FZS600 with me but sadly it has to be parked outside my accommodation, I was wondering if anyone knew of any great waterproof covers to cover the full bike? If so any suggestion would be much appreciated thanks. (Photo of my bike below)

Brought it from a dealership


It has been sitting for 5 years and when I brought it the dealership did a service on it (Oil and filter change) however they did not clean the carbs. I brought the bike and was ridding around with it fine, I went away for one week, came back, started her up and it just started shooting it out, the oil that came out was still golden so it looked new

Hi guys


Just brought a 2001 FZS600, it has 2 out of the 4 carbs blocked and not working probably so the bike is not running at it's best anyway, but I went on Holiday for a week last week and when I came back yesterday I turned the bike on and all of a sudden it start throwing it's oil out all over the floor, I turned the bike off and it stopped and once I followed the trail of oil I could swear it was leaking from the upper part of the bike but could not find a definite location.


I went out, got some new 10w40 semi synthetic bike oil, put it in the bike and turned it on and ran it for about 5-10 minutes and this time it didn't leak a thing, was wondering if anyone could tell me what on earth happened? I'm having the carbs cleaned next week to hopefully have the bike working the way it should do.


Hope someone can help.


Thanks
