I'm after some forks to rebuild my FZS 600 after losing it on some mud and crashing a few weeks ago.

I just want to put them on for a few test runs before committing to repairing the bike properly, so they can be pitted and leaky, so long as they're straight. Honestly pitted and leaky would be best since I'll rebuild them with new fork tubes if the frame still rides ok.

Thanks

Hello, I have bought a small speedo that has an analogue speedo cable. As I'm sure people are aware the signal on the FZS600... I have the speedo working apart from the signal cable. I have purchased the KOSO speedometer signal converter but now I'm a little stuck on how to connect this up. If anybody is able to help I'd be truly grateful! the more detail the better.
I'll add the details of the speedo and cable below

Someone on another Forum pointed me at this website https://roadcurvature.com/map/ which shows the curvature of roads for those who think straight lines are boring!

It seems to be based simply on analysis of the map data (there appears to be no way to screen out roads with only 30 or 40mph limits that might be twisty, but not exactly fun at those speeds )

Still, it's a great resource for bikers :thumbup

Here's "Cottage Corner" on the Morestead road...

Hi all,

I've removed and cleaned my carbs following a long lay-up and am having memory issues about what connects to what and the manual is no help, so hoped the peeps on here might be able to help ?

Photo 1 shows two medium black tails up high that are expecting hoses to connect to them as well as a larger black recess in the middle of them that I am scratching my head about, and another brown medium tail lower down that I am expecting the feed from the fuel pump (and filter) to connect to.

Is that right and what are the black tails / recess for please ?

Photo 2 shows the underside where I've connected the coolant pipes to where I think they should go. Are they in the right places please ?

Photo 3 shows the cylinder side, does anything look wrong there please ?

Thanks for any assistance you can offer.

Their seems to be a lot of talk about vaccine at the moment. Get ready for a massive campaign at least as vigorous as the one used to scare the sh1t out of the population about covid in the first place, calling anyone who has genuine concerns an "Anti vaxer". Remember in the middle of the BSE mad cow disease scandal the then agri minister John Gummer feeding his 4 year old daughter a burger, expect to also see that kind of thing.

I don't feel it will be directly compulsory but I predict it may as well be because without a piece paper saying you have had the vaccine you will not be allowed to do almost anything, along the lines of
Public transport, visit the doctors, use a supermarket in person, visit a footy match, get a loan or mortgage.One is reminded of

MY POLL - MY RULES. NO NAME CALLING, STAY POLITE AND DON'T GIVE THE MODS AN EXCUSE TO CANCEL

The appeal on Iannone's 18 month ban, didn't go to plan, with the appeal court upholding the original 4 year ban. If he wants it, Cal should be in a good position for the vacant Aprilia seat, as Bradley has been relegated from his test rider job, by Savadori, this years Italian Superbike winner.
Looks like Dovi will take a year out, at the moment, so Cal could be well placed for the slot.

Before I start taking things apart, I though I'd put it out there to see if someone could point me quickly in the right direction.
My speedo reading has always had a stable reading regardless of the speed. But now I've noticed the needle is getting a bit 'jumpy'. It gets worse the faster I go.
Starts getting nervous at about 50.  At 70 it bounces around between 65 & 75. And at about 120, its bouncing around between 100 & 140  :lol).
Anyone had a similar issue ?

want to get rid of the mini indicators that came with the bike and put originals back on.


anyone got any O.E spares/for sale, at a reasonable cost ??


  SORTED NOW THANKS>> :rolleyes :rolleyes


cheers

I took the tank off for the first time last night, kinda wished I hadn't.  Geez what a lot of c**p there is under there!  No decent access to anything. 
Has anyone, ever, managed to change the #2 and #3 plugs with the engine in situ?!  I looked at the outer ones, using the gadget in the bike tool kit. They seem ok condition/mixture, Iridium type, bit loose in their threads...  So I pondered doing away with the AIS, to make a bit of space, but I can't see how you'd get the main chunk of it out!? 
I suppose I should renew the coolant anyway, and removing the radiator doesn't look too big a deal, maybe then I could check/change the middle two plugs? 
There's a nice clean K and N filter in there, guess I should have checked before ordering a new paper one from Yambits, Doh!
On the outer two carbs (at least), there are no sealing plugs over the idle mixture screws. Were they there as standard on UK bikes?  I wonder if it's been 'got at' already, carb wise.  It did seem to go REALLY well on my shortish test ride...
Brake lines and bleed nipples arrived today, jobs are stacking up, conservatory stinks of petrol already, Mrs on the warpath.  My comment that 'At least the Harley in the lounge doesn't smell' = Wrong answer.

I have just changed the clutch and when I switched my ignition on the hazard lights came on and would not switch off. Any help much appreciated.
