Not really wild camped with the bike but basic rules in Scotland are to leave no footprint, no camping on farmers land without permission, camp site must be more than 150 yards from any road, no camping in one place for more that 48 hours, no open fires.

You can usually pitch on farmers land if there are no livestock in the area, pitch as late as possible in the evening, leave pitch at sunrise or as near too making sure you have left no evidence. If a farmer challenges you, apologise, thank them for use of the land and leave but most I've come across have been nice enough.

With regards to camping with the bike and concealing it has had me thinking about buying a camo tarpaulin to use as a screen with bungie cords.

For one night camping I'll use the tarp for a shelter. If I plan to camp for longer then I'll take the tent.

Thanks. Got the PM.

Cheers,

Nothing through yet. Will check again in wee while.

I sent a PM early this afternoon but I've no answer.

I should have plenty then. I've 400ml.

Thanks,

Ajmes1,

Thanks for the input. 

It seams some suppliers are selling the dbpmc As you state a base colour then a pearlescent then clear coat. Some are selling complete colour in one tin and clear coat to finish.

I'll either test it on the underside of the belly pan to see how close the one part colour actually is. Most of my plastics need some sort of work because of previous owners over zealous use of torque wrenches when tightening bolts. So I'm trying to find as good a match as possible for the least amount of £££'s because I'll need to order a few tins to keep the colour consistent throughout the plastics.

I've my fingers crossed for a few nice days so I can get my second hand hard panniers colour coded to the bike before storing them over the winter.

I'll report back as soon as I can but it will depend on weather and family commitments.

Thanks for the links.

I've been in touch with a couple of different suppliers resulting in mixed information (what's new??).

Ok, so two suppliers say the paints a three part concoction. 1st part is a specific base coat needed to complete paint colour. 2nd part main colour. 3rd part clear coat.

Three other suppliers have said its a two part paint. 1st part is complete colour. 2nd part is clear coat.

I've decided to try one of the two part formulations. I'll test it on some hard luggage that I'm wanting to colour code to the bike.

PS, I'd be interested to hear from a professional spray painter if theirs one on here.

Thanks for the link. I managed to find them through Google. Is their a cheaper option? Undercoat, yamaha colour and gloss coat is £53 for 500ml of paint. I thought I'd be around £25-30.

Not trying to be lazy but my PC has broken down and the phone is selective in its search.

I'm looking for some help. I have a 2002 blue FZS600 and need some paint.

Searching through this site I've found this information regarding paint codes.

"Fazer 2002 blue colour code.

DPBMC 0564

Deep purplish blue metallic C"

Can someone confirm this is definitely the code I need and possibly suggest a supplier?

I ask because I went into halfords today to get it mixed and they told me the closest code they have is DPBMU.

I need some informative help.

Thanks,

It's a lot cheaper than the motech rack that I just ordered (£200 with givi mounting plates).

Hello all,

I'm in search of a rear caliper for my FZS600 2002. My brother in law tried bleeding the brake for me and managed to brake off the nipple in the caliper.

The engineers can't get it out without further damage, so I'm looking for a replacement. Any help would be gratefully recieved.

Thanks.

Hello all,

So I bought a 2002 FZS at the weekend but the seat seems a bit loose. It wobbles from side to side approximately 3/4 of an inch in movement which is really off putting when cornering.

So I was wondering if,

1, what can cause this?

2, can this be fixed,

3, or is it just a new seat that's needed?

Your help is very much needed.

Thanks,
