is there anywhere in the uk or Europe where I can just buy the float needle seat o ring want to change them without buying a full kit if any body has brought them plz advise me where I can buy them thanks

Hi,


So I've not had the FZS 600 all that long but I've noticed a wobble on the L/H switchgear that means it can be rotated backwards and forwards to the point that putting the choke on single handily means it can, but not always, move (in as much as I now subconsciously hold the switchgear a little when moving the lever -- not a big deal, just an example).


It doesn't move a whole bunch during a ride, so isn't a big issue, but is this common?


I've replaced the two screws (as the heads on the ones I had were worn) and there as tight as they go and so there's no issue on that front. Usually there's a locating pin that goes into the bars on most bikes, but I've not looked / split the switchgear just so I don't end up looking for any springs that may pop out etc.  :lol


So.. does yours move, or is the pin in mine probably not located properly or broken (I realise I'll have to look, if suggested)?


Figured I'd ask,
Thanks.

Hi just need something clearing iv fitting the Ivan’s slip on kit to my ge1 Fazer carbs now I’ve read that I only need to enlarge 1 bypass hole eg the middle one but Ivan’s instructions say enlarge 2 holes 1middle and the back one so can I clear this up for me plz do I need both as per instructions or just the middle one I’ve read that from u on one of the forums thanksKit is slip on only not the full monty Also r the jets different in the 2 kits

My 04 has a digital fuel and temp read out (I am led to believe that these were fitted later?)
It showed my fuel and temp as like a bar chart but I started pressing buttons to see what happens    and that display has now gone and I now get what gear I am in and my temp as a figure and no fuel?


I have looked on google to see of there is a 'how to change the functions' type instructions but drawing a blank ... anyone help?


Cheers

Hello everyone


Probably a familiar tale but had far too many bikes over about 45 years ... every model of ZZR (5 1400's ... what an engine) and many XJR's which I love, had some daft stuff like a Kwack Spectre, a DR650 that I could not kick over  :rolleyes , had and loved a 1200 Tenere, Blackbirds, a C90 that IO could have gone around the world on it was that good (I will do a Euro trip on one at some point)


So spent daft money and lost fortunes, done lots of overseas trips, India, Sth Africa, The States and Euro trips .... and generally loved every minute.


Then last year I went over to the French Alps on my ZZR 14 and got home and thought "I never really enjoyed that at all"    so at 61yrs I reckoned I was done, sold up and retired my gear to a box in the garage.


Until last week when I got  chance of a cheap, highish miles FZS1000 and thought it will be ok for the odd hour or two out ... so just got back from a Worcester to The Gower trip out, back via the Mumbles and onto Fowlers at Bristol (for a drool) and back home. Well ... what a nice surprise that was! comfy, quick enough, went nicely around the left and rights like a good un and I can see why they have the following they have ... a proper nice bike!


So hello peeps and I look forward to joining in on the odd thread

been clearing my mothers house over the last week taking a lot of stuff to the dump, i have known for a while that they charge for certain items but noticed today they are charging £4.80 each for tyres  :eek ...the boxeye could do with a couple of new tyres but i am not paying £9.60 to get rid of the old ones. :grumble :grumble :grumble .  could this be the beginning of the end for home fitting ?...

I have various parts for a 2009 FZ1N for sale Inc 2 screens, a gear indicator, a servo eliminator, shorty levers and bar and mirrors if anyone is interested. I will post to UK

Hey! I realise the FZ8/Fazer 8 sold in fewer numbers here in the UK compared to the other models. There seems to be a smaller selection of aftermarket parts available probably due to the lower rates of ownership.


Just wondering if it would be a good idea for people to comment parts which they know are easily interchangeable from the 1000 and 600 models. That way when we're looking for something and can't find it listed for the 800 we know we can look for the same part listed for the 1000/600 and it'll fit.


What do you guys think?
