Tbf I can't see how replacing a 1000cc car with four 1000cc bikes could be part of the solution









es are scandalous and

As  a bit more detail I’ve just taken the callipers off and it’s the same on both of them.
The knock is because the pad is held in with one pin so the pad is free to rotate around it and the knock is coming from the the pad rotating into the calliper.
So I’m assuming this in normal even though it’s quite a knock?

Might be worth ordering some new pins

Based on your experiences do you find multibike insurance  worth having?  I can't help thinking after the first year of taking out a multibike policy there is no way of getting an accurate price comparison against individual bike policies.  I'm presuming the NC discount  can't be used independently for both bikes.

Call me stoopid      is the linkpipe separate or part of the down pipes?

They're separate pipes, but come in different diameters. I have two aftermarket end cans and I believe they're both different sizes to the OEM can. Or at least the pair of them are definitely different anyway as they each have a link pipe, I've not laid eyes on the stock exhaust for 14 years now.

I've still on original pipe.  My thinking was I have a set of down pipes with the common rust hole which if I could find someone able to patch the hole and fabricate the fz6 link it would save the hassle and possible expense

So before spending all the money, do as Gnasher suggested and give Yamaha a call to check the emission figure for your bike, if its under 0.15 then all it will cost you is £60 for a Certificate of conformity which you then upload along with a copy of the first page of your V5 on the TFL website -

But (as I said) Yamaha will give you a figure which is over the limit. Been there, done that.
NOX figures were only entered onto V5s later, so only the manufacturer can provide an official figure.
Of course individual bikes might give a lower NOX figure, especially if the mixture has been adjusted, such as with a non OE air filter. But then you need it individually tested, and for that you are at the mercy of the only approved testing workshop..... who have you by the short and curlies 

When I contacted Yamaha about my 600 they said they couldn't give any figures as the bike was manufactured before testing began which at first I thought it strange since it's the same year as my thou But I figure tests would be carried out on the first batch of a new models  which the 600 was 1998? and the thou 2001?

My 2000 FZS 600 level read 0.43, which he said was unusually high.
But after speaking to one of the staff I mentioned I cleaned my K&N air filter last week and he said that would not have helped at all and more than likely raised the level, although in the same breath he also said it wouldn't have been significant enough to make it pass.
So something to note, a dirty paper filter could actually lower your test results.





I had the Cat. fitted anyway, as i never really had much choice.
I was there about 70mins in total, which included the initial Dyno test, then having the Cat. fitted, then a retest again.
Whole lot cost £435 


No power loss whatsoever, but it has changed the sound of the bike a little bit, but to be honest I like the new sound so no worries there.


I asked about how I will know when it's all well and good and was to told to download an app tomorrow called TFL DRIVE, and when I enter my Reg. Number it will state that my bike is exempt.


And finally it was pointed out to me that no bike is the same, so one bike may pass whereas another might fail, even if they are the same year and model of bike. This is due to many factors so there is no way of knowing what your bike will show up.

So clean high grade fuel and dirty filter is key?
I'm thinking of having mine tested but don't fancy a £300+ bill

"... If a CAT fit is required, on a Fazer 600, it will fit in the exhaust collector, just before the muffler, and it is internal.

It is getting busier than normal for the reason you mentioned, generally when it's busy we have a 2 week lead time, you can book via the website.

Any chance it will plug the rust holes

 

As it happens only last year I ended up in a ditch down a very large bank in Finland;  luckily for me there was a beautiful lady driving behind me.  even luckier for me a built like brick shithouse farmer came along and physically lifted the thou out of said ditch

When it's time to change a slipping  clutch do you change just the friction plates or must the steel plates be changed as well? 


Cheers

Sorted  removed switch unit and give the inside a good spray of electrical cleaner.  took a while to work but all is good now  

Any of you come across this problem I'd be grateful for your opinion
[size=78%] Indicators[/size]
                 Left front not working neither is the left arrow display   Left rear is working.

                 Right front, rear and right indicator arrow work

                 Hazards on, the three working indicators and right arrow flashes.




  If I remove either or both of the front left indicator connections the the left display arrow works
 The indicator bulb isn't blown, I connected it direct to battery.





Getting a fluctuating Voltage through the left indicator wires with indicator disconnected


Continuity showing between frame and all eight wires in turn  with all indicators connected
fully disconnect left indicator, of the eight wires all but the front left brown shows continuity to the frame
fully disconnect right front indicator and both both right wires show continuity to the frame

Is the problem therefore with the single brown wire?  should all the wires be earthing to the frame?   

Any ideas appreciated

sounds like a great trip ROBBO  .....stick my name down for next years run   

 

Silly question but why didn't you call your breakdown recovery  to ask them to retrieve it for you?

I did, they said they wouldn't collect it as it was at a garage.

Wow do you have the most basic policy......I'd change that recovery company next year then......if not immediately
