General / I'm back....
« on: 18 June 2017, 01:24:21 pm »
Well, after several other bikes, I've gone back in time and bought a 2003 Fazer 600.
It's in lovely condition, but being 14 years old it has picked up a few little problems in the 14,000 miles it's traveled.
Yesterday I had a go at balancing the carbs and sorting the freeplay on the throttle (there wasn't any!), will find out how good a job I've done today, I hope.
But there's one thing I need some help on - I suspect it may have been lowered at some point, it didn't feel like it wanted to turn and the side stand seems close to the ground when extended, I also seem to remember my original 2003 bike being a bit higher in the saddle, maybe I'm heavier and it's just squishing down more...... does anyone know what length the standard dog-legs are on the suspension?
