Hi all, looking to tap into the wealth of knowledge that is the forum.
2001 model FZS600
Been off the road road for nearly nearly a year due to many issues.
Checking yesterday I have lost supply to the side light, rear light it not working either.
Headlights have power supply dip and main (although bike has previously linked the headlights so as both sides illuminate)
Brake lights work both front and rear BUT this also illuminates the number plate light?
Indicators work fine
Dash lights work fine
Rear light not illuminating, number plate light not illuminating.
Any obvious fuses or places to check?
Only things I have done is replace the indicator relay to fit LED indicators and replaced the dash lights with leds, the headlights are disconnected as the faring is off.
The number plat light coming on with the brake light sounds like a bad or crossed earth , but short of stripping off to look at the connectors on the rear light any easy routes to check? the main fuse box looks ok the fuses in there are all fine but do not seem to cover the side lights or rear light
Hey all, so, winter is coming and nothing is gonna stop it!
So for readying my faithful Fazer for the daily commute I am looking for your recommendations.
My bike is standard so I am thinking the following;
Touring (flip up screen)
Heated bar grips
Aux flood lights
Fairing lowers.
let me know what you think is worth it and any specific recommendations.
Many thanks and safe riding!
hopefully ive uploaded a picture of my front disc, it looks initially like watermarks but its not , im not sure what it is hence why im posting to gain your thoughts , best theory so far is its age related marks on one disc only but both sides of that disc and only the central holes and marks are clearly centrifugal in nature , braking is as powerful as always no drop of in performance and there is nothing to feel ,cant detect any deformation , i actually mostly removed the marks with 400 wet n dry took it for an hours spin, in the dry, the marks are back again following that. bike has only done 32k miles and im not a heavy breaker by nature but i didnt have the bike from new but it only had 16 k when i got it so ive done half of those miles , theres no splits or cracking around any of the holes so there not stress marks , but what the cause is i cant figure?
Hi after nearly 5 years idle in the garage the bike is running great apart from the revs dipping periodically when idling. The question is What to try first?
Am thinking
1. Air filter
2. Plugs
3. Leads
4. Carb balance (not by me)
To be honest I think I changed the plugs and leads before the storage period so I fear it may be a carb thing which is a bit beyond my skill set.
