Hey guys , spring is coming !!  :rollin


Quick question , does anyone know where I can purchase the rubber washer which goes in-between the 2 head stock castellated nuts ?


During changing the bearings I found the original one was completely shredded

so i have heard that short runs or static runs ( ticking over not riding )  are bad for the bike due to condensation issues as the bike doesnt get properly hot or hot enough.
wanting to learn more about this, at what point does the condensation occur ?  heating up or cooling down or both.
does going for a long run eradicate this condensation or minimize it ?
so i was thinking that if it occurs at a certain temp range at some point even after a very long run it will cool back down at some point to that problem temp range so wont that create condensation?  long run or short run either way?
or is it created ONLY on warm up not cooling back down, and gets eradicated by increased temperature that too short a run doesnt give you ?


how long a run is enough of a run , and do we worry about this on a daily basis on our short commutes to work and back in our cars ? how many short journeys are made daily in cars ?


anyone have any expertise on offer in this area .  just an interesting topic id like more information on 

I'm in the process of breaking a complete fz6s 2004 engine for spares.
Before I put any parts on fleabay.
If Anybody's interested in anything please get in touch.
cheers

Hello Guys.It´s time to replace the fuel filter, but I never did it before. How to do it? Just remove the old one and put in the new? Or we need to fill the filter with fuel before install it?Thank youMike

Seen on here many times people asking what to use as a lube for ignition switches (where you put the key to start the bike, for the less informed) and i've finally found a winner.


Firstly, don't use graphite (sludge), WD40 (attracts dirt), degreasing spray (dries out), etc, or similar as they can seem like a temporary fix but do more harm than good over the longer term as i found out myself the hard way a few years ago.
With added (dirty) rain these can eventually turn to sludge and/or dry out on contacts in the switch causing starting/running issues or just make the turning of the key feel a bit stiff.


A few months ago i bought an electrical contact cleaner from Halfords to try as my ignition key was turning a bit stiff in the switch, and it sorted it for a while but i think after some prolonged rainfall it just dried out again.


So i tried some stuff we use at work and it has turned out to be perfect for the job.


It's still a contact cleaner so it will clean all the shite out of your switch, but it leaves a very fine lubrication as well and you can feel that everything inside moves much more freely when inserting the key.


I've deliberately waited a few months to see if it would dry out like the other one but it's still exactly the same so i can safely say it's got the thumbs up from me to use.  :thumbup

Hello people of the Forum!
I have bought myself this Sunday a Gen 1 with belt conversion. The previous owner was unable to tell me where the kit was bought from but from my research i think it might of been from these guys, or these guys. I really like the bike, it rides butter smooth.
I am interested to know if there are others around here with a kit like this, and what are their impressions so far.

Wanted fazer 1000 forks 2005 model.

Hi all
I thought £23 for an inline fuel filter from a Yamaha dealer was a bit steep.  This is the last item on the list for the service - any alternative generic filters that would do the job but obviously not too shit?  Any advice gratefully appreciated

Hi
I have a yamaha fazer fzs 600 on a 03 plate, seems to have developed an electrical fault. The bike will only start when the clutch lever is pulled in and when released it cuts out straight away.
Second when running if put in gear it instantly cuts out, i suspect both fault are related. Any help would same me a major headache.


Thanks in advance.
