If you’ve got Kriega luggage and wanted to add to it, or maybe baulked at Kriega prices, I’ve come across a good alternative from Amazon called Rhinowalk. They make (copy) the 10,20 and 30 litre tail packs, that are compatible with the existing Kriega US range. I’ve just bought the Rhinowalk 10 litre, already having the Kriega 20 and 30 litre packs. This will be used to carry summer waterproofs, spare gloves, puncture kit and compressor. It fits perfectly to the bike and also when used in conjunction with either of the Kriega packs. At £25, that’s a decent saving over Kriegas £89 for the 10 litre tail pack.

Hi, looking for advice.
2001, FZS1000 Fazer, 89k on the clock and based the UK.
Been out riding for two days, first day ok, second day the tacho-Rev counter shows the revs, but suddenly drops to zero, engine all ok still running, then after a few seconds tacho Rev counter back to normal. This does not happen all the time, occurred about 10 times in a fifty mile ride. Nno other tacho Rev counter error codes, like the 3k , 7k etc. Speedo, lights, turn signals, neutral lights all working, clock keeping time, mileage working ok. Any ideas? Before I start pulling things apart,
thanks,
Don.

I probably get on peoples' nerves how great I think Jonathan Rea is but after this last weekends performance at Assen who can argue that he's up there with the best to come out of the U.K. ever ? yes ever!? each season that goes by he has to up his game against formidable riders,nothing has been gifted him,he has fought tooth and nail with the very best and won .You may argue that he's not raced against Moto GP riders apart from a short period on a Honda but I'm convinced if he'd been given a proper schedule of off season training and a solid contract he would have eventually beaten these as well you might win one or even two world titles being exceptional but six going on seven !!! unbelievable.

Hi
Tall order i think but I'm looking for a ignition switch for my 2003 Fazer(old on is shot!) I'm starting to believe these are reared then hens teeth. the wiring configuration for the 2003 has 7 wires but the earlier models only have 6 the only difference i can see is a feed to the alarm unit which the earlier fazers were not fitted with.
Can some one with more knowledge tell me if it is possible to fit a earlier switch or where i can aquire a 2003 model switch.
many thanks in advance for your help :'(

Hi all,
ever since the FZS600 first appeared I have thought it is the best all round bike ever built.
For a long time I have waited for the circumstances to be right and it finally happened last Sunday.
I knew I wanted a very good, low miles Foxeye.
Up came a 2002 foxeye in North Devon and I badgered the owner into letting me see it first despite not being the first to say I wanted it. I did this by promising to head down immediately and pay full asking price because it was more than reasonable anyway.
I now have an immaculate blue FZS600 sitting in my garage with a genuine 18000 miles on it.
Every time I look at it I am increasingly amazed at its condition with original toolkit, olive green bolts and fittings.
The only issue the bike had was that since sitting around after its April MoT the back brake had somehow got a little air in it and a couple of minutes bleeding was required.
All fluids were like new, including the oil and coolant, the bike really is a credit to its four previous owners.
No silly add ons, just a Powerbronze double bubble, charger lead, hugger and fender extender to help keep it immaculate. It had some riser dog bones fitted but they have now been swapped back to the originals that came with it.
To say I am well chuffed is an understatement.
Until visiting this forum, I had no idea about the front sprocket issue so I whipped of the sprocket cover to find the bike nearly as clean inside. I think the chain and sprocket may be original from the factory but also has virtually no sign of wear. The sprocket nut is the un modified one but is also still tight on the output shaft and securely locked in place on two faces so I am not going to disturb it before the chain and sprockets are worn out. I ordered a modified nut kit from my local Yamaha dealer today so this site has already been an invaluable source of information for me.
Thanks guys?
