Bike going for MOT tomorrow, a quick check over shows no obvious problems, but finally got around to adjusting the headlamps, which were way too high. But they seem to be pointing a bit to the right - only slightly, but puzzling, as it's defo a UK model and has sailed through all previous tests as far as I can tell from all the paperwork I've got. So I tried adjusting this, and although the horizontal adjustment screws turn (if a little stiff), they don't seem to be doing a great deal. Any views/knowledge on this?

After what happened at the Traffic lights this morning I decided to start this thread

I had to call to a building off Shandon Street in Cork to drop in some forms. On the way back to work I stopped at the traffic lights behind a car on the top end of Shandon Street.
Light are red and a woman with dark glasses and a guide dog approaches the the pedestrian crossing. It was obvious to me the woman was blind.
Light go Green as the dog reaches the traffic light pole and he stops and sits down. Driver in front does not pull off and there is no traffic coming the other way
The woman moves her head from side to side in a motion that appeared to me that she was listening for the traffic.

Wait for it

The driver of the still stopped car raises his hand and waves her across the road.  :rollin

Dog stays sitting as he is trained to do waiting for the pedestrian beeper.

Woman moves her head from side to side as if she is still listening for the traffic

Again the driver raises his hand and waves her across the road. :rollin :rollin :rollin

A fellow pedestrian beside the woman who was also waiting to cross went back to the wall of the house to hold on to it and was doubled over from laughing, he could not be consoled.

I am still behind the dozy driver watching all this and had to take the bike out of gear and trying to stop me and the bike falling over from laughing.

Driver finally drives on and I am there trying to put the bike in gear while still trying to stop laughing. :lol :lol :lol

Made my day

Hi Guys
Gonna do my first oil and Filter change this weekend just wondering which is the best oil to use I am thinking Yamalube unless you guys have any better ideas.
Thanks

How do you know what model Fazer you have?

N or S2  or SA and so on not on the V5 and the VIN plate is no help?

My buyer had his house survey done today on my property.

My wife says he was walking about with a light beam pointing randomly at walls, standing across the road and shinning it at the front door, roof and walls.

My Mrs said it didn't look like one of those devices for measuring room dimensions.

Any idea what it's for or what he was doing?

Hi folks,
How is everyone?
I ride a 1998 fzs600 in black and live near Stoke on Trent.
I have had my fzs600 since passing my test in 2007, and although its done nearly 70k (40k with me sat on it!) its still got the power to pull pork off a pig.
In the process of doing a pre summer (i use that term as it may be sunny one weekend between here and September!) service, done the plugs, air filter oil etc, will be doing carb sync and clutch adjustment shortly, I'll let you all know when i've broke something lol!
I dont know much, i'm open to banter, if  I can help you out I will
Ride safe

Finally caught the Fazer 600 sticky rear brake lurgy. Popped in to garage for new brake pads on back and they had a right job getting pistons apart to accommodate new pads. 


They don't seem massively bad, can't hear them scraping when I push bike about and they do give me some stopping power.  MOT is due in July, how bad do they have to be to fail it?


Garage quoted between £60-75 labour + dust seals etc, to clean them thoroughly and sort them out. Worth doing, or I should be looking out for a FZS1000 or XJS1300 calliper to slap on?


And I should add, although a bit handy on the mech side, I've never touched brakes before, so not really confident working on them yet.

Oh the joys of buying a bit of a shitter.....
