due to an external hard drive crashing i am needing to take new photos for a new business im setting up
unfortunately i have no dirty carbs left and no photos of the clean ones before i cleaned them
so if anyone has a set of carbs and would like them given a FREE multistage ultrasonic clean and even a soda blast then let me know
you will get my address and my email so i can send you some pics.
you send them to me and i will pay for postage back probably within 48 hours (need photos quick and run out of friends with dirty ones)


all i ask is you yourself take some photos before posting and after you receive them back -maybe a bit of sending people my way :lol


im on here most days , so let me know either below or DM

So how many FZ1 owners on here, have or have had PR4's on their FZ1..?

I'm asking as the new bike has them and on the way home at 70-80 I was noticing a slight wibble. I have yet to check the pressures that were put in by the bike shop, but I can only imagine to high if anything.  At low speed the bike is rock solid and below 70 I don't notice the wibble at all, I don't believe and it doesn't feel like the wheel is out of balance.

As we have a few thread for common tasks that get repeated threads, I figured it would make sense to create a sticky with links to all of these threads. I will update this OP as I go, so welcome suggested threads to be added to this sticky.

Rack comes with all fittings and bolts etc, good condition takes any monolock box.

Top box is givi e370 with two keys, slight scuff on one side about inch long but otherwise good condition. Boughr to commute but never really happened as have a work van now.


£100 for both. Collect from Cheltenham or Banbury or post at cost.

My FZS600 predates the addition of the shorter spacers and compression adjusters on the forks, but as I am in the process of rebuilding the front end I an toying with adding some bling. What are your thoughts on these?

Hi


I have a yamaha fazer fzs 600(2003) i have removed stripped and cleaned my carbs. I have read the you can bench sync your carb to get them into the rough ball park before being more precise when fitted to the bike. The information I'm looking for relates to the base carb, I'm :'( [size=78%] at a loss as to which on is the base carb, any help would be fantastic.[/size]

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
