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.

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 you

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.

Couldn't help meself! Offered an FZS600, 2000 vintage, alway wanted another as still reckon it's one of the best all rounders!
Insurance is due on an old BSA I have in the garage also (very fortunate and a very tolerant wife!) and just looked at a quote with Bennets for multi-bike.
So for BSA, classic renewal is pence short of £100, whereas the BSA, FZS600 and a CRF250 (again, very fortunate!) will be £160 with Bennetts, fully comp, 2000 miles on each, seems really good!
Tried Carole Nash as well but after 10 minutes of waiting gave up!
So, anyone any experience with multi-bike policies? Bennetts as a provider? Any other thoughts?

So my guy is getting the head off as the valves and cam are worn


Anyone got a decent inlet cam about ?


Also is it worth fitting an r1 head Gasket to bump compression a bit ?


Where is the best supplier for valves and gaskets ?

Hi Guys, so im trying to pin down the colour of my fz6 S2,  2009 plate , im pretty sure its 'dull purplish blue'  but i cant find a colour code beyond on a white sticker , but i think the code listed under the seat 4S8F -050, refers to the silver chasis colour not the bike colour itself, i cant see another sticker , can anyone help with either the code and where to find it and any clues to the colour description
