FZS600 Fazer / OMG Potentially fatal.
« on: 15 June 2012, 11:48:49 pm »
Hi all,
After some advice after my rear wheel valve stem came loose on the way home today (motorway speeds) so pressure went from 35-36psi/2.5bar to bog all and I was burnin' rubber on a semi flattie. Managed to get home and rolled her into the garage and attached a track pump, but the valve "innards" came away in my hand. I think it's a push to fit valve and the rest of the valve, a big rubber bit,  is still within the wheel gubbins somewhere. What's the best thing to do here?
Any and all advice appreciated.
Cheers,
fish.

Introduction / Back after toooo long away.

Hi (again?) folks,
I was a member here years ago, having a year 2000 Fazer 600 in black (the fastest type!), remembering folks like chalky, tcat, rubbermat et al. Sorry I've been away so long and it's great to be back. Still have the bike - must be a decade of ownership now, which makes this the longest I've ever owned a vehicle. That in itself speaks volumes about the awesomeness of the bike.
I've done the twin light wiring mod from years ago with super bright bulbs, plus the obligatory stainless header pipe swapout after the original mild steel ones developed some, ahem, "vents", changed the air filter to a K&N to free up the midrange, had a go with a double-bubble airblade screen, plus a custom under the seat immobiliser thing. A bit of a tinkerer if I'm honest.
Big shout to the all you guys and gals from me in North Cardiff (Rhiwbina)!
Cheers,
Mark (aka fishwibbler/fish)
