Lights are on all the time fed up with dozy car drivers trying to occupy the same space as me on the m'way, going back down to Luton tomoz so will see what happens with the main beam switch then.

the whole display goes off, including the rev counter, speedometer, fuel gauge and clock then comes back on, all this happens only when the pass / flash button is pressed so far and not when indicating.
Hmmm flat battery, poss but this happened after a 96mile run home along the M1,M45 and A45 with a constant speed above 60mph.

FZS600 Fazer / Electrical Fault
« on: 29 April 2013, 11:36:45 pm »
Hi All
 
Need some advice please, my fazer has developed a strange display fault that I am not sure where to start looking for.
Basically if the bike is stood idling with the either with the lights on or off and the flasher / pass button is pressed the whole
display shuts down then comes back on, I first noticed this when I was waiting to make a right turn and indicated for a car to pull out.
as soon as I turned the throttle though the display came back on, this only happens when the flash/pass button is pressed.
 
Could this be an earth fault? if so where do I start looking or could this be a switch fault developing as the bike has been on the road
all winter.
 
Cheers

FZS600 Fazer / exhaust question
« on: 10 June 2012, 12:02:44 pm »
my 02 fazer is running a hi flo filter, sandy spares stainless down pipes and a scorpion end can with removable baffles.
i haves just serviced the bike and balanced the carb's so the question  is if i run the bike without the baffles in what long term effect is it going to have on the engine or can the fazer engine take it?


cheers

« on: 22 March 2012, 10:50:22 pm »
cheers mate, yeah it helps if i am right it means the indicators are going to roughly be in the same position as the original inicators.
I was hoping to be able to get them closer to the fairing cause if i ever drop my bike again i was trying to get the indicators from touching down and buggering up the fairing like they did couple of years ago.

Hi All, have bought some slimline indicators to replace the originals, how ever i can not figure out have to fit them with the blanking plate i bought with them (got them from street bike in birmingham).
 
So has any one fitted aftermarket indicators with the blanking plate and have you got any pictures?
 
Cheers

FZS600 Fazer / next upgrade
« on: 14 February 2012, 11:08:15 pm »
thinking of geting some fairing lowers off ebay, they say they come pre drilled to fit to existing points
on the bike, does anyone know where these points are and what the bike would look like with them on?

« on: 14 February 2012, 11:00:16 pm »
had these fitted to my bike recently also got a viper end can and i also noticed a bit more low down grunt :D , but i also notice a slight flat spot/stutter around the 100mph mark before the acceleration picks up so going to service the bike and balance the carbs to see if this cures it.

I thought the set of 5 gaskets were around £15?
Which still puts them cheaper than these buuuuuuuuuuuuuut after a run from brum down to Luton and back today i'm more than chuffed with my pipes.

The down pipes were £174.99 this included free next day delivery and a set of new gaskets.
 
Don't know what the Motad pipes come with?

Well ended up at Chas Mann motorcycles for them to fit them, they had to drill a series of holes around my existing exhaust header bolts on cyl 2 &3 just to get them off without snapping the studs.
Once these bolts were off these pipes fitted straight on and F*** me what a difference they make to the bike, it seams to be running alot smother now, my scopion end can has a deeper growl to it and it makes the bike look so much better (mines silver so they sort of compliment the look.)
Overall very happy with them.

ooooooook pliers ordered, planning on clamping the brake pipe when they come and taking the caliper to pieces on my work bench
as the pistons aren't seized i guess they will come out ok with the pliers, going to repeat that on the otherside once that is done
going to get both calipers back on the bike and then change the brake fluid (after removing the clamps).

How do you grease that as i thought it was pretty much a sealed unit?

« on: 27 October 2011, 09:01:17 pm »
You can take one side out, clean the stuff in there, put them back in and then pop the other side and clean under there.


Or, if you use clamps to get both sides of the piston near the middle, then you can usually get one side out then just jiggle the other side with your fingers to get all out at once. If they are very stiff then that won't work.

Excuse me for being thick but what are these? they look like some sort of reverse pliers that whould clamp on the inside of the piston.............if i am right where would i get something like this?
 
oh and is it an easy enough job to replace the seals or is it a right git

FZS600 Fazer / Front brake caliper rebuild.
« on: 25 October 2011, 12:07:42 am »
Ok i stripped my front brakes down to clean them as i have been getting a squeal from the front from starting about 40ish, when i noticed that on both sides i am getting uneven pad wear.
 
So have ordered some replacement seals of the internet and i am going to attemp to strip and replace all the relevant seals on both brake calipers, soooooo i have been reading my haynes manual and was wondering if anyone had any hints / tips that they found helped when do their brakes.
 
Reason for asking there is a small section that is a bit grey to me, basically the manual says to clamp a bit of wood over one side to prevent the pistons on one side from moving, then to apply pressure to the brake lever until the oter side "pop" out, it then says to remove the seals and replace the pistons, clamp the wood on this side and repeat to get the other pistons out.
 
the grey area for me is once i get the first set of pistons out what stops air getting back into the system........and yes i intend to replace the brake fluid with fresh stuff.
 
Cheers
