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


Fergie

I've just tried using the search box at the top right of the page and also the one in the Home/ Forum/ Help/ Links/ Search menu bar and both of those seem to generate results ok, so I'm not sure why you're having an issue.

Are you using PC or phone? Which browser are you using? Do you have any script/ cooking blocking software installed?

Graham,  thanks for your reply... I can't see any search top right of the page ? 
 I used the other one you mentioned and I've just tried it again by putting in "oil", then my name, and nothing...
I'm using a tablet on Google chrome...  I've had no trouble on the other Yamaha forum ( XJR ) or any of the other forums I belong to....strange .
Any thing else I can do ?

I'm using Firefox on a PC, so you may see a slightly different screen to me, but I just tried searching for Oil and "Fergie in France" and your above post came up.

Without your name, I got 30 results.

Can you try using a different browser?

Make sure you use the search button on screen on the right hand side.
It doesn't do anything if you hit go on your keyboard.
More people are born because of alcohol than will ever die from it.

Graham...I'll go on our desk top computer and try Linux or Firefox to see it that fixes it.

There is no search on the r.h.s. that's  some of the problem I guess  :eek

This is what I see in Firefox.

The top right box is a quick search for the current page, but if you click on it, you get the option for an advanced search.

The orange one below my profile pic gives the advanced search options straight away.

I have used the search feature but on a fiddly phone I find it harder to filter the relavent results by eye even with the subject only box checked, an easier way for me is to do a Google search and focu posts are always in the top results 👍
*Disclaimer*
Nothing I say should in any way be taken as a good idea 😄
