Fazer 1000/FZ1 corner / Re: Gen 1 Exhaust header rear mounting bracket?« on: 16 April 2024, 08:51:24 pm »
How much of your weight do you have to use to push the tail down? That would be similar to the amount of weight resting on the collector box (allowing for leverage etc)
I'd have thought that failures would be more likely due to metal fatigue from the constant vibration. 5

I've moved this to the FZ6 Fazer Forum as it's more appropriate.
First question: Can you push start the bike? (It may take a few attempts because the failed starts might have left unburned fuel in the system). If so, the problem may well be with the alternator or regulator/ rectifier meaning the battery is not getting charged properly. Have a look here for the FZ6 manual with details of how to use a multimeter to check the outputs and see if they're in spec. https://foc-u.co.uk/index.php?action=downloads;cat=3 Also get a Drop Tester (or a friendly local garage) to check the battery as "new" batteries can be faulty (trust me, I know!) 11

Have you checked your front tyre for uneven wear?
If it's worn down on one side, replacing it might fix the problem. 12
General / Re: what did you do with your fazer today ?« on: 21 March 2024, 11:05:00 am »Hello everybody, unsure how to use this site so hopefully i’m doing it right but ported the cylinder heads out and milled it so that 99 octane fuel can now be used to my advantage for extra power on the 600 (engine was already out replacing the 2nd gear shift fork) however this does mean regular fuel will cause detonation so premium only from now on yay I would suggest posting this in the FZS600 02-03 Forum area so people who have the same model of bike as you are more likely to see it and reply. 13

I just found the ad on YouTube and it says at the bottom "stunts are performed by professionals, do not try at home".
But IMO any "professional" rider wouldn't be part of such a stupid advert that apparently promotes irresponsible riding in completely unsuitable footwear! 15

FZS600 Fazer / Re: Tyre recommendation« on: 19 March 2024, 01:35:03 am »
Look on YouTube for the Fortnine videos where he explains that pretty much any reasonably well known brand tyres will be sufficient for the majority of riders who are never going to push them to their limits.
Personally I've gone from Bridgestone 023s to the T30s and T31s and will upgrade to the T32 in the not too distant future because I don't see the attraction in using tyre technology that's over a decade old. 18

Welcome to the Forums, it's a bit quiet around here these days, but there's still plenty of knowledge around
BTW where are you in Bristol? I grew up in Long Ashton, then moved to Clifton for a few years before coming to live in Portsmouth where I am now. |
