Just got an email from MCE telling me my policy will no longer be valid after 31st Jan as they are in administration, which is at odds to what they said originally (policies will remain until renewal) it also basically says if you want a refund you are probably going to have to fight for it, which is a bit shit as mine expires in September.

Ironically a quick MCN comparison search puts MCE as the best quote, so if you are in the market for insurance steer clear of them!

Hi everyone, brief intro as new to the Forum. I'm recently back to motorbikes, I used to race motocross as a child (Hampshire, Dorset, Wiltshire) and was in a display team called The Tigers based near Southampton. I haven't riden in years but always knew I would get a bike again one day.  I bought a Fazer 600 (2000 model) earlier in 2021 and have been happily riding since June. Hopefully I'll have the chance to meet some of you on the road in due course  un 

I have recently refitted my fuel tank. I have a TFT dash and it was showing 2 bars when I removed and when I refitted. I've just filled up and the gauge is still showing the same reading. I've tried shorting out the plug from the loom but the gauge shows the same. Maybe I didn't leave is long enough?


Am I right in thinking that by shoring out the plug in the loom under the left cover the gauge should be showing full?


Is there a separate fuse for the fuel gauge?


Are there any connections or joins between the plug under the left hand cover and the plug that connects the TFT?


Thanks

[color=rgb(68, 68, 68)]Hi everyone I rebuilt my carbs on my fazer just for something to do over winter.[/color][color=rgb(68, 68, 68)][/size]I have these parts left over. I think them was inside the spring that goes over the nut inbetween the throttle arms.I have checked the service Manuel, I even checked the spare parts catalog l… I cannot find  what they or where they go. I assume it was inbetween the sync screw and spring but they are definitely too tall. They definitely came from the bit inbetween carb 1&2.. the other is definitely from inbetween 3&4..First time working on any carbs ever so I’m in the dark.[size=19px][/color]

Came to start the bike this morning and there is no noise from the starter motor or the fuel pump. The battery is fine, fuses okay and lights work. Would appreciate any advice.

What are your thoughts on posting questions related to motorcycles that aren't Fazers/MTs, or even not Yamahas?


I got a question about a Ural motorcycle kick-start not engaging problem. I know next to nothing about Ural motorcycles. I suppose it's a spring, and/or a pawl damage problem, but can't be certain. And I suppose that not engaging when it's very cold is the first sign of trouble. But that's mostly guesswork on my part - far from the knowledgeable expert.
The first thing that came to mind was to direct the person asking to this forum. There are some very knowledgeable people here, that seem knowledgeable with (motorcycle) mechanics in general, probably not "just" the Fazers/Yamahas.


But the question is whether people are happy and willing to have non-fazer stuff here. Yes, I'm sure there is a Ural forum somewhere, but I'd rather take an "it's probably..." from the people on FOC, than "it must be..." from a forum I have no idea about.
Having more members is not necessarily good - quantity doesn't always provide more quality. But it's also not bad in and of itself.


Anyway, I suppose the best thing is to ask.


Can and should we have a non-Yamaha/non-Fazer section?
Do you think it's a good idea?
Can I direct the poor sobs who don't speak my native to this wretched place? 

Hi All looking at doing some upgrades on my gen1  if anyone has a rear shock for sale  please let me know many thanks

Hi
I have a couple of scotoilers for sale (its the main reservoirs - the most expensive bits) for £15 a pop and one whole scotoiler box (with I think practically everything in it, except the oil bottle) for £60 and a dual injector £15, unopened in the packaging.


Can be collected from HA4.


Drop me an email at velotipo@gmail.com, if interested as I can never seem to post pictures
