After an undamaged oem sceeen for gen 2 FZ1S. Cash or i have a spare zero gravity double bubble to swap?

Note i am in UK and bitterly regret my username

Bike laid up over winter during which time I forgot to charge it so it did go flat.


Been using it since beginning of month.  13mile journey each way.  On one journey I used the heated grips.  As I got near work the dials stopped working on idle but came back with revs.  Instantly thought battery was flat from using grips. 


When I went to return home the bike was flat.  Wouldn't start.  Had enough power to attempt to turn over but did a couple of turns before making an odd buzzer type sound. 
Push started it and it was fine on the way home.


Charged battery and all was good for last fortnight.


Used the bike yesterday no issues.


Tonight it's flat again and doing the same thing.  Couple of turns before the odd noise.


Is this common with Fazers and low batteries.  When I've previously flattened the battery it's been totally dead.


My concern is that I've an electrical fault draining the battery.  I actually hope it's just that the battery is past it's best.  Could be the original one fitted.  2001 plate with 11k miles.

Hi, my name is James and I've just acquired a 2003 FZS 600 and hope to pick your brains occasionally as most of my experience is with old BSAs.



One of my neighbours used to use it to commute to London but with the ULEZ charges for entering central London it was no longer viable to use so he literally gave it to me! She has done 41K and had stood in his drive for at least a year unused. The battery was beyond recovering so I popped in a new one, changed the oil and filter and to my surprise she started straight away. I booked her in for an MOT to see if there were any major issues, she failed on no headlights and a warped rear disc. The headlight problem was down to a poor earth and quickly solved however the rear disc was more of a battle, getting the bolts out was a major headache. With a lot of heat and patience I got half out, two more came out when I welded a bar to them but the final one sheared. In the end I had to drill it out using a pillar drill and an end mill, luckily the thread survived after a clean up with a tap.


Now all legal and back on the road.

hi guys, just bought a fzs 600 that im slowly restoring into a naked bike, hopefully you guys can point me inn the right direction from time to time, oh and im from cornwall, cheers

After an OEM silencer, but in A1 condition. I painted mine but its starting to peel, so if i can pick a mint one up it will save me the hassle of getting it ceramic coated.

A question for the FOC-U fonts of knowledge.


Gen 1 1000 FZS. Pilot Air Screw setting. In both the Good Book of little fibs (Haynes!) and the genuine Yamaha service manual, the pilot air screws are set at 2.0 turns out. Have I seen on here that 3.0 is recommended and if so why?
I've currently got mine set to 3.0 and it seems very rich and will start from cold with no choke.


Answers please, not on a postcard  :rollin :rollin

I'm not really a football fan these days, got put off years ago, mainly by the cost.  Taking my lads to a game, 10yrs ago would costs £150 easy. 

One of the main arguments by UK supporters against this, is it destroys, local identities, history etc. 

To me it clearly demonstrates, UK supporters really don't factor any longer and if they never paid another penny in season tickets or gate money it wouldn't matter.  Premiership Clubs make more money with world TV rights and sales of shirts/kits memorabilia, than ever they do in the UK. 

Like much of sport nowadays, it's not really about the sport it's just about money, making more money!
