  Newbee! Thanks for helping me out FOC-U
Posted by: JulienP - 10-07-21, 08:12 PM - Forum: Introduction - No Replies

Hey everyone, the name's Julien, I'm from county Galway in Ireland. Picked up a 01 Fzs600 as my first 600. I used to mess around with 125s when I was young but this is a different beast altogether.
I came across this forum because I went to change my rear brake pads and figured out the hard way that the previous owner upgraded to a FZS1000 caliper.
The pads were so rusty that I couldn't make out what they were. Of course I bought EBC FA104 pads and did a lot of head scratching as to why they didn't fit.
So anyway, thanks to this forum I figured out what the hell happened! [Image: c66102a3024daed4da131e42845ecf15.jpg]

  FZS600 Rear Brake upgrade.
Posted by: VinceFZS600 - 09-07-21, 10:41 AM - Forum: FZS600 Fazer - Replies (4)

Hi,


I’m looking for info on upgrading the rear brake for my ‘98 FZS600.


I’ve seen people on forums mention the fzs1000 rear brake but nobody fully answers:


Do I need the fzs1000 rear  reservoir  & what year one do I need?


Do I need a thicker disc or any supporting mods?


Anyone who can help is greatly appreciatedz.


Many thanks, Vince.

Hello everyone!


I’m Vince, age 29 & riding motorbikes since age2.


I’ve owned a FZS600 since 2017 as my ‘first road legal big bike’ & it’s still my main road bike today!


Mine was very tatty so In the past month decided to give it a bit of a makeover.


It never dawned on me to join a Fazer forum but like anyone, I’ve many questions to ask, known wisdom to share & curious to know how many Fazer's are near me!


Can’t wait to get to know everyone!


Vince.

  WANTED, FZS1000 GIVI rack and top plate
Posted by: balti - 08-07-21, 02:07 PM - Forum: For Sale & Wanted - Replies (7)

Has anyone got one of these they are happy to part with? just after the rear rack and top plate to fit either a monokey or monolock topbox. Needed asap for a trip next weekend, last minute jaunt with the other half and could do with more luggage capacity than what i can get in my soft panniers... Any help from fellow foccers would be greatly appreciated as everywhere is currently quoting several weeks wait as the Givi racks are all in Italy apparently  :\

  Foccer Font of Knowledge- IOM TT
Posted by: Dudeofrude - 06-07-21, 09:45 PM - Forum: General - Replies (4)

So it's been an ambition of mine for a few years now to ride over to the IOM for the TT and now that I have a suitable bike I'm looking at what I need to be doing. The brother in law wants to come with and we would more than likely stay a couple of nights but I know nothing about where to start.
I'm aware that everything gets booked up fast so we are realistically looking at either 2023 or 2024.

So I'd just like some pointers from any fellow foccas that have attended in the past (or plan too in the future) as to the best way to go about it...travel, accommodation, rough costs etc etc
Cheers ?

  Metal plate for bike turntable
Posted by: Grahamm - 06-07-21, 12:26 AM - Forum: General - Replies (8)

Paging the Foc-U fount of all knowledge...

I'm getting the shed where I store my bike modified to allow me to ride my bike in and out of a nice wide door instead of having to push it back and forth to get through a narrow door and into the alleyway.

As such, I'm going to use one of these "lazy susan" bearings to make a turntable.

I've seen some that have a square section of what appears to be 18mm plywood on top, but, if possible, I'd like to use a thinner metal plate instead (possibly with a no-skid surface).

The idea is that I ride the bike into the shed and then the turntable goes under the centre stand so I can them pivot the bike around 180 degrees so I can ride it out again, but I need the plate to be strong enough that it won't distort without being as thick as the plywood.

Can anyone give me an idea of how thick the metal should be to handle about 200kg of bike?

PS Yes, I know some people spin the bike on the sidestand but a) I can't do that, I've tried and b) I've already had one sidestand shear off because it was being stressed in the wrong ways and they are *not* designed to be used like that, that's why I'm doing the turntable instead.
