Why do spiders love my FZS600 so much? They keep on building webs all over the place and running around all over my bike when I'm not looking -- despite using it pretty much every day to commute and washing it almost every week. Could it be the Muck Off speed wax polish I've been using that's attracting them?
Anyway, I saw a little critter in the fuel gauge today when I was filling up. I filled the tank up full but the gauge won't go too full now. Anyone know how easy it is to get the clocks apart in order to clean them and remove any stray arachnids? Anyone else ever had a spider problem like this?

Here's a pic. He's sitting at the centre of the fuel gauge grinning at me...

haha, strange problem to have.
The clocks come off pretty easily, 3 bolts behind them, should be able to get them off with only having to take screen off first then you should be able to get to them. Then when the clocks are off there are a few screws that hold the unit together so just undo them and it'll come apart ok.

IF you want some pics on speedo removal, this is a thread about changing the bulbs to funky coloured ones and has a nice tutorial with pics down the page!

Tempt him out with a nice juicy fly :lol

maybe setup a mini aquarium in the rev counter window, and then apply for World Heritage Site (mobile eco system) status for your bike! :b

You foccers are real comedians!
Thanks for the comments though. I'll check out the speedo removal thread. No one else has trouble with spiders? Oh well. I'm obviously special, as my mum used to tell me!

I must confess, I nearly pissed myself laughing at the pic! :lol :lol
