 Hi Mate, welcome to the club :thumbup Nice bike, best model in the best colour, (Same as mine) although as you'll find out, for some reason the blue ones come in for a bit of stick on here (envy, I reckon)
  You're so lucky to live close to Minehead, have you done Porlock Hill/ Countisbury Hill on it yet?


I live in Weston-super-Mare so not too far, but on that day I didn't get out till later in the day, temperature was plummeting and I’ve only had my licence a week felt a long way from home lol
So I didn't get to go any further I have driven those roads before and I can imagine they will be good fun on the bike.

Are they the original black downpipes? If so, although on the Foxeye the pipes are stainless, the collector box is mild. Watch out for rust and it blowing.


I’m pretty sure they have been renewed fairly recently, All the nuts and studs look fresh and the rear silencer looks as good as new, would like to get a new end can soon any recommendations?

Check the front sprocket nut is not loose, including the threads on the shaft, and do the wider nut upgrade if it needs one.
Big safety upgrade that is highly recommended.


Yeh forgot to mention I have done this, it wasn’t loose but it was the old thinner nut.

Hi guys
Introducing my first bike my FZS600 26k.
Had it a week and almost as long as my licence and been easing into the biking world.
It came it rad panels and belly panels, take them off for the attached pics as I’m between fixing niggles and also I’m in two minds weather to keep them off or on.
[size=78%]Maintenance is part of fun for me so.......[/size]
Given it some fresh filters, oils, and plugs since I had it. checked valve clearances all nicely within spec
Slight niggles misfire on tickover and low rpm rolling on throttle, fresh fuel with additives added, done plugs, got  new plug caps on the way, have a carb balance gauges on the way but I’m expecting the carbs out and clearing pilot jets soon. In particular no 4 which the manifold is touchable after start up compared to 123. Also checked the TPS is happy.


So you guys think I’m missing anything


Still wind her up and she’s eager to go took it for my first exploratory trip to Minehead as pictured.
