Does anyone have any experience with the knock off fairing copies on ebay? Specifically looking at a GRP one from Poland here.


Any good? Figured I'd probably be spending almost as much on getting current fairing repaired.

Nice big insurance payout cheque arrived in post yesterday. Sorted. Bike not written off, full damage payout. Result.


So time to get some repairs down, tart bike up and get it looking decent again.


Although there is the small matter of a second off I had, still being resolved with insurers (no, not the one from the LoFo ride out, another one...), damaging pretty much the same stuff on t'other side of bike...

Hi All, decided to sell my Kappa Wing Rack as i can't see me using it to it's full potential. The rack is in a good condition, it comes with now bolts to secure it to the bike but as far as i'm aware you can just use the same bolts that hold your grab rail on and also a couple of small nuts to secure to the rear footpegs. There are a couple bolts missing, the ones that hold the indicators (which I don't have) and the ones which secure the plate (I've never had either, but used some standard nuts and bolts). There are also some plastic blanks missing, but i have a new set of blanks ready to go on. I'm looking for £100 and collection only, I'm based near Birmingham but can meet local











I also have a Givi V46 topbox, which if i'm honest has seen better days. A couple of mount holes and a crack on the outer plastic on the top (about 4 inches) and is quite scratched but is still watertight and does the job and comes with 2 keys. Say £50

Quick question, how fast is 10,000 RPM in first gear

Hi,
I've had a MOT today but, unfortunately I've failed.

Fail list:
1. Rear susp. bush excessive free play.
2. Brake lever inadequate reserve travel (propably air in hoses)
3. Not a full registration plate
4. Nearside rear footrest insecure

Ad 1.
The man said that bottom bearing it's too lose, but would be good to replace a kit.
He wrote down on the list:
Tri arm bush kit
Bottom shock and Rear tri arm bush/bearing

EDIT: I've also found such a kit:
http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Yamaha-FZS600-...2322ac3e93

He said that kit would be about 45 quids (not genuine), however he would charge me 90 quids repair including parts.
For me it seems to be not too bad, but just wanted to verify if it's reasonable price for that?
I've found also this topic: http://foc-u.co.uk/index.php?topic=336.0
... and got mixed feeling if it will help.

If it's not reasonable price do you know where I can find set of all bearings in that place?
So I will just literally replace them when wheel is already removed.

Ad 2. I've ordered brake fluid so I will also replace it when I am already here.

Ad 3. Do you have idea where it's the best place to order new legal plate?

Ad 4. Ok so the problem is that rider left footrest it's turning.
It was not problem for me at all. I've had a feeling that it's adjusting to gear change lever.
I've dismounted that (2 hex bolts), but there is no screw at all to tighten that.
Right foot rest seems to be solid.

How do I repair that?

Thanks.

Hi there! New to the forum and to biking and after a bit of advice if anyone has a second! Keen to try and start commuting to work on the bike and been told I need to get a system going! Figure the first thing is to get a topbox for my helmet to go in and to carry all my stuff!  Anyone got any good recommendations about where I can get descent sized topbox and where I can get a rack to fit it on etc.


Any help would be massively appreciated!!

Hello, fellows. I'm looking for a front box-eyed fairing for FZ400/FZS600. The black one would be the best. I'm located in Russia.

Hello, folks! My name's Denis and I'm from Russia. I'm riding Yamaha FZ400 97 and it's my first bike. That'll all for now.

Pics of my girlfriend, me and fazer.

Greetings people.Looked on the search but couldn't find anything specific.

What would be the range of such a combi-spanner set to tackle most tasks on the Fazer and which spanners is it worth doubling up on?

Hi, I have a V-reg 1999 model with only 6k on the clock. Its been sitting around for quite a few years.
New MOT , taxed and ready to go, however,  I have a misfire I think which after I took the carbs off , taken apart , cleaned and left in an ultrasonic bath for 12 hours seemed to go away.
Slowly the misfire is creeping back, noticeable at lower revs first and has been creeping up the rev range to now its constant.
I am starting to doubt myself now with the basics, I bought a second hand coil set but its lengths are wrong. now I am really confused.easy
when sat on the bike the left coil does ( outside/left inwards) cylinder 4, cylinder 1.  coil 2 does cylinder 2, cylinder 3. is this right
The replacement coils are different lengths so wont reach in this configuration as I took off.
I am loosing the will to live as the carbs have been on and off many times....should I just by new coils to discount them from the fault hunt.
Does this sound like a spark issue, what HT lead goes where?
Any help received with thanks

Dave
