Reqd for all trackdays for next year, brake guards. No point arguing the toss/merits etc, gotta have them. Photo is the one from my FZ6 S2, and its a fair weight. I would imagine the weight acts against bar vibrations, but I can't seem to find a brake lever guard that is compatible with the screw thread, and isn't made from lightweight materials. Has anyone got guards fitted to their bikes that may do the job?

Hi all, me again.
I am just cleaning my carbs and getting everything ready to fit Ivans full monty kit.
The only information I cannot find is, how to set up Pilot screw. Unfortunately, I did not check how many turnst it was screwed from the fully in. Haynes manual does not say anything too.
Many thanks in advance.Kralik

After endless hours trying to stop my pipes tarnishing and staining I've decided to wrap them.I've found through reviews etc one of the best wraps on the market but before I buy them and attempt to make a decent job of it I thought I'd see if anyone had done this job.There's a couple of things I'm a bit concerned about,one being whether to go for 2" or 1" width and is 15 foot long enough to do the job,and is it feasible to do the exhausts on the bike?I'm not bothered about taking the exhaust system off but obviously it would be easier and cheaper to do it in situ because I wouldn't have to buy crush washers or faff about with exhaust studs,etc.Would really appreciate any tips or possible downfalls doing this,thanks,Phil.

Hello,

Does anyone have full parts diagrams for the different forks used by the FZS600 over the years, or can shed some light on exactly what changed and what is interchangable between them?

I bought some cheap "2002" forks to test my bike after crashing it and severely bending the forks a month or so ago. Unlike the ones that came on my (2003) bike, they have a simple cap at the top rather than preload adjusters, but everything I've found suggests preload adjusters were added in the 2000 model. They've also got an excessive gap between the ends where the front wheel fits, so the axle draws them together by a few millimeters when tightened (the stanchions are straight) - is this normal?

Thanks

Can anyone else connect to http://www.yamahafz1oa.com/  ?

SUMMARY

So I am buying a 2007 FZ1, and one of the issues that needs to be fixed is both mirrors need replacing. So before the bike shop replaces them with stock mirrors, can I ask has anyone fitted different or other Fazer mirrors to the existing mounting points..? Im asking because FZ1 like the Z1000SX have mirrors that don't move all that easily. I commute in/out of London so need mirrors that pull in & push out as easy as the ones on my FZS1000 did.


THE MOD

So 2 options I'm looking at are -

• Adjust the tension on the base on the FZ1 mirrors so they fold back easier.
  
• Or cut the bottoms of a set of FZS and FZ1 mirrors and weld the FZS base/s onto the FZ1 mirrors. Allowing to them mount the FZS mirrors on the FZ1.

Hi all, I'm hoping the people of this amazing forum can help with an ongoing issue I've been having. When the engine is off or at tickover the indicators all flash and normal pace, however once the revs go up they double in speed. All four indicators are standard bulb type, I've checked all fuses and all are good, I'm thinking maybe it could be voltage regulator? This would also explain the early cut in of my cooling fan which I've had for a long time too.. any thoughts or routes to go down would be greatly received.
