Maybe just the plugs. But I changed the coils jic. They were all, new and old, within the resistance check but I had bought them anyway. The bike ran better, or seemed to, after I had just changes the LHS two. And one of the plugs was outside the gap check. (0,7mm) So maybe that was it. I just didn't want to do the job twice.
Put some led strip into my instrument cluster. Now I can see what dials are actually reading at night, rather than a dull green haze.
Saw a nice red fzs 600 near North Fitzwarren. Anyone?

Make sure you have a chain riveting tool handy for the final link as I never Took me longer to clean all the crap from the casings and re-allign the rear wheel than it did to do the job itself!I was also hoping that a new correctly tensioned chain would help to eliminate some of the typical Yam gear change clunk, but, nope....

Bit what do you expect after 18 yrs and 28,400 miles Oh the 4th pic is of my new rear shock spring but can't figure out how to get it replaced as I can't remember where my shock spring tools are so that'll need to wait till another time I guess
Nice! Nothing better than getting your hands dirty Luckily i didnt have to remove my swingarm (probably should have though...)Think I got quite lucky as front sprocket nut looks as though it was changed at some point so wasnt too tight at all.Did you check tool pouch under your seat for shock spanner?
Passed my Mod 2 !!! went out for my first ride on the fazer fzs600 '99 omg i love it !cant wait to meet some fellow foccers on the next meet up ?????
