hi i ve done a quick search to see if this topic has been covered before , couldn't see a match so forgive me if its been covered before ?


i have a cable operated clutch with the original levers, i struggle with winter gloves to grab the clutch lever in particular so some span adjusters would be useful.  however with cable operated clutch the lever length is likely to be important to gain the leverage to operate the clutch properly?
its almost universal that span adjusters are for hydraulic clutches and are invariably shorter than OEM .


has anyone used shorter span adjusters and found they are either a problem or perhaps not ?


can anyone offer advice to the best span adjuster levers to resolve my issue ? are there any full length adjustable levers you know of ?


just to confirm  its a 2001 fzs600.


TIA

OE dark fairing screen from 1998 FZS600 for sale.


From a 1998 model. It has quite few scratches on, although nothing deep. No cracks. Has the protective rubber strip on the edge. Part number 5DM A-05160. Message me if you want a couple of pics.


£10 including postage and packing to the UK.

I have finally got round to changing the rear wheel bearings - one is fine, the other is shagged. I noticed that the bearing spacer looks f***ed as well - see pics, am presuming that it will need replacing.

Does anyone know if a Gen 2 FZ1 spacer and spindle will fit?
Cheers!

Good Morning All,

Had a search for this but wasnt able to find an answer for the 1000 so I thought I'd ask.


I recently changed the spark plugs on my fzs1000 owing to poor fuelling and bogging down at low rpm. When I removed the spark plug cap from the plug I noticed that a bodged repair had been effected with electrical tape. This was on the cylinder which was running the coolest out of the four (Mrs was not happy using her meat temperature gauge as a thermometer!)


Anyways, ordered some NGK replacements Model SD05F. Upon arrival they are considerably shorter and are not the correct diameter at the thick end.


Does anyone know the correct model spark plug cap for the thou OEM or otherwise.?


Thanks!

anything considered can blast and paint if needed thanks

Would someone have an idea of how much oil would be lost if I remove the clutch cover with the bike on the sidestand. Thanks in advance.

So as I needed some wheels bearing for the FZ1 I thought I would check if any of the spare bearings I still have for my FZS would fit, and some of them do -

• FZ1 - fowlers - https://www.fowlersparts.co.uk/parts/639...rear-wheel
  
• FZS - fowlers - https://www.fowlersparts.co.uk/parts/418...rear-wheel
  

• 2x bearing (ball)- 93306-00420
  
• 2x seal - 93106-28043
  

• 1x bearing (ball)- 93306-20531
  
• 1x seal - 93106-40013
  

• 1x R/H bearing (ball) - 93306-20531 - bearing number 62-28-2-RS

Hi everyone!


So I've been a member for around five years now when I purchased my 1000 from another forum member:

https://foc-u.co.uk/index.php?topic=1777...#msg205157

Since then I've put the grand total of a further 10k on her but remained a forum lurker. It hasn't been plain sailing- I found a crack in the engine casing which had been filled, sanded and sprayed over. However I did my first tour on her to Scotland and have done Wales, Ireland and France since. Even though she's not my only bike she's the one I won't ever sell.

Here she is now (attached)

Nice to meet you all!

Mark

Hi, my name is Jason and i'm from the Netherlands. I will introduce myself and my bike later but i bought myself a gen 1 fz1 from 2003 and found these wire connectors under the seat. I'm wondering if it's supposed to be like this or that perhaps something used to be connected to it. I hope anyone here can help me out.
