Ow Do. Hi folks,65 yr old rocker road race marshall (just back from Moto GP Silverstone September), just got me a 1998 fzs 600. Traded my VFR800Fi1 2002 for it as now, swimbo says i'm too knackered for a bum up position!!!!!! Previous must have put shorter d/b's on and a piece of wood on the side stand to raise it at the rear. will put it back to standard and drop the triples down (as on the VFR) as I am a s/ar#e no centre stand so will maybe be looking for one. Ordered the d/bones so on the go.
All in all a better riding position so well pleased as for its age in superb condition (so far).
Looking forward to good input from here as much as from the VFR site.

It's the 'Ride to the Wall' on Saturday.

This looks an interesting camera to use on the bike, i think some care would be needed at times!

See you on the road, folks

Hi,
I've got '99 FZS600 and seems to be that previous owner had to much strength when tightening the tank mount screw (this one in the center of tank mount).

After few bumps it's not working properly and my tank is loose again.

Any ideas how to fix that without drill & tap to 7-8mm?
