FZS600 Fazer / RPM Signal
« on: 21 June 2015, 08:02:44 am »
Hello!
Suddenly my old gauges stopped showing me the revs. No problem, cause the new speedometer just arrived.
But, after the install of the new speedo, everithing works just fine, except the revs!
I tried to follow the yellow/black wire and see where it goes but it's a pain. I'll end up striping the entire electrical on my bike.
Can you tell me where I can get RPM Signal and just ignore the factory yellow/black cable?

A few photos of my "Cafe/Fighter" Fazer. Still a lot to be done...

FZS600 Fazer / Using the front wheel sensor with an aftermarket speedo
« on: 14 December 2014, 06:59:53 pm »
Hello!
I want after market gauges!

I bought a used Acewell Ace-2701 with no sensors. This is not a problem, I can buy a cheep reed switch and use it.

I made a test removing the gauges and nothing happened, the bike runs the same. So, maybe is the wheel sensor which affects the running.
I want to keep the factory front wheel sensor in place wired to the Ecu/Ignition/whatever.

I wonder if I can use the factory front wheel sensor because I don't want extra wires/metal plates around the wheel.

As I know the factory front wheel sensor is a Hall sensor with 3 wires. One is ground, one is power and one is signal. It gives you different voltage values as the wheel spin.
The sensor used for the Acewell in my case is a Reed Switch with 2 wires. It act as a switch => On/Off.
Is there any way I can adapt the signal from a Hall sensor and transform it in a On/Off signal?

Done!
I tighten the bolts at 8Nm.
I put the pressure plate in the right manner. One week ago I didn't know you it has a right manner.
I put the metal plates with curvature facing away from the engine.
The larger ID plate was in place. :D
Now it's working fine! Thank you!

Now it make sense!
One more question: The metal plates seems to have slightly differently faces. Am I right or I am paranoic? :D

I think I overtighten the pressure plate bolts. I didn't use a torque wrench and I tighten them by hand pretty strong.
Now, I checked the manual and the torque is 8Nm.  :lol
I will open it again this weekend. I didn't knew there is a larger internal diameter plate. :D I will pay attention.

FZS600 Fazer / Clutch problems
« on: 16 March 2014, 06:12:09 pm »
Hello all!
My problem:
I bought an accidented bike with no clutch lever. After all the painting and rebuild, the bike is almost ready. Now comes the fun part. I put the new lever, start the bike on the center stand and when I try to squeze the clutch lever I have to apply a lot of force.
I opened the clutch cover, the friction plates were a bit stuck, I cleaned them, perform a oil change, but nothing, can't squeeze the lever. I have 2 options when adjusting from the lever nut or clutch cover nut, ON and OFF. :D  Eighter is too loose and nothing happend when I squeeze the lever, eighter is verry tight and again, almost nothing happens when I hardly squeeze it, except a little friction sound coming from the clutch cover. Eighter way,
If I try to press the metal rod (the one marked with red) with my hand I can't. The problem starts from it, how much force is normal to be used to push it?
I can't use the clutch. Any ideas?

I am going to do the fzs1000 caliper mod on my 600.
I have to grind a few mm on my fzs600 caliper bracket or I have to buy the Fzs1000 caliper with his original bracket and grind that one? I don't understand if the 1000 caliper will fit on the 600 hanger?
Do I need a longer brake line?

Classic look. I want something else... I really like the Bmw F800GS lights, but they are very expensive.

My Fazer looked like this when bought it:

So, no Box eyes, foxy eyes...
It is going to be a naked motorcycle. Black, with red tank and tail and white rims.
I don't like that street fighter mask, so I have to put another.
I really like this square headlight together with some square mirrors. I think I will buy it and see if I can fit a pair of H4 55W inside.

2x25w = 50 w.
Single headlight motorcycles have 55w. Isn't the same?

Hello!
New guy here!  :)
I bought an accidented FZS and I am in the middle of rebuild process.
I like this headlight:

http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/400442015100?ssPageName=STRK:MEWAX:IT&_trksid=p3984.m1438.l2648

But, can't find any review. Nowhere!
Are the 2x25W bulbs too week for a decent illumination? Anybody?
Thank you!
