Id look for Oxford throwovers, had a set for years, can't remember what I paid for them but tough kit


I agree, I've got a set of Oxford Spirt and had them years, great bit of kit, and heatproof base in case it's near the can

Not sure if Bandit is remembering right... those of us who've tried Delkevic recently have regretted the decision.

Seriously it is an easy job to change the air filter,... While you there check the coolant level in the radiator, cap on the right hand side front of bike under the fuel tank.
Jobs-a-Gooden.  :thumbup

There's a fuel filter under there too... just follow the fuel pipe down to it's bracket. Last time I was delving around, I changed that. Old one had done 20k odd miles. No idea if it needed a new one!

It was owned by a polish guy, and fortunately for me , he wasn't able to get his test done.


Had been sitting under a cover for 4 years and hadn't been mot'd in that time, so I was a bit suspicious...


I missed my other 2 fazer box eyes so much, I thought I'd take a gamble, and it flew thru mot with no issues at all.


Since then, I've done oil and filters, plugs and added some Forté advanced gas fuel treatment to it, and that's all.


It has a scratch on the tank where someone tried to steal it, but he got them before it could go.... And I hpi'd it just in case lololol

Going to upgrade the soft mild steel standard headers on my 2003 600.


Both come in at about £185 new, however, what's the best ?

It's the spark that counts. Ends look okay, but corrosion is caused by water sitting around the plug area, which would suggest your drainage holes could be clogged up.
I'd get an airline and blow air into the holes in the middle of the engine fins and see if it unblocks anything. Also blow any crud away from around the spark plug area on top.


Done :)

« on: 04 March 2017, 05:33:41 pm »
Cheers guys, got the tank off, new plugs new oil & Filter, air filter looked new plugs were rusted to bits, but came out easy, luckily.

Reason for draining the fuel is the bike hasn't moved much for 3 years as previous owner couldn't pass bike test ..

Hence why it's got 6k and it's a 2003
