Hi all,


New here to the forum. My name is Roxy, I ride a 1999 600 in cherry red and black, she is lovely. When i aren't on my bike i drive buses for a living. I have been riding for 5 years with no break in between (i should think not) never owned a car, never want to. I ride in all weathers all year round, they don't call me power ranger roxy, come out in my new season gear for, well summer, then go into hiding. Nope, i brave the winters with the rest of them, wish i had more insulation sometimes but when spring finally arrives winter seems so far behind us.  Joined the site in case i ever need any advice, tips, info etc and of course to check out everyone else's ride...
I have uploaded one pic so far to the media area of the site. I hope i can be initiated now...


Be safe,


Roxy

Hi there. The previous owner of my foxeye dropped it and I think the bars are bent a little. I'll probably get some Renthals so was just wondering which ones are the closest to the originals in terms of riding position ? Cheers

Hi there. My foxeye has a really snatchy and jerky response when on only a whiff of throttle, say when your trundling along in traffic. Open it up a bit and it's fine. Anyone had this problem ? The bike had been sat for a couple of years before I bought her so im thinking maybe the pilot jets need cleaning ? Anyone done this and is it easy or best left to a mechanic ? Thanks.

Got to work this morning and noticed a lovely screw/nail in the rear tyre  :groan it's just off the center of the wheel so I think it'll be repairable. Only put the new tyre on last month so I don't wanna bin it. I've rung a couple of places around me (Caerphilly/Cardiff area) and they don't do puncture repairs.
So 2 questions: Anyone know anywhere that does it? How easy is it to do it myself?

Hi,
Searched through the threads but I can't get a definite answer.
Does a FZS1000 caliper hanger fit on a FZS600?
Thanks

Started my 600 after winter away. Left it with full tank. Running lumpy. Keeps cocking out. Still goes great until you stop. Put 18quid fresh fuel in. 1 mile home. Still cutting out. Any ideas please feel free to tell me.

Can anybody tell me what this part does in the cylinder head, listed as number 5 in the picture (attached)

What do you ppl do with your  Lids?
I usually put mine in the top box but as it will be full of crap on my hols I was wondering what to do with both mine and the wife's lids while off the bike.

Popped into Halfrauds last night to pick up a Haynes Manual and to my surprise learned that they don't do one for the FZ1.  Luckily, the factory service manual is available for download. Or is it the fact that these downloads ARE freely available and accessible that makes Haynes decide not to invest? Hmmm.
