I have got to get on my FZ6 early Sunday morning, and ride from Leicester to Silverstone for the Superbikes, just cos one of my bosses can't make his £500 access all areas ticket.
What a bugger.

Hi Peeps, just wondered if any of our members have used higher and pullback bars instead of risers on their FZS's as the bar clamps come back already. I need the more sit-up style as I have a bad back. I have found riding my Diversion 600 more comfy ( risers fitted ) than the Fazer.
Thanks in advance Buck

Well, i've had the Fazer a couple of weeks now and i'm pleased as punch with it, although a couple of issues have arisen.
I live in Bangor, North Wales and occasionally i have a trip up to Rossendale, in Lancashire to visit friends and family, sometimes in the car, sometimes on the bike.
Last Friday, i gave the bike it's first decent long(ish) run up North, it ran pretty well, apart from a tendency to "bog down" when i opened the throttle to overtake a vehicle on the motorway.
I've noticed this a couple of times before i went on the trip, doing around 40-50mph, then drop down a gear and overtake but it sometimes holds back until i roll the throttle off a touch, then it takes off like a scalded cat.
On the motorway, doing around 70-80mph, the same thing would happen, roll off the throttle for a vehicle in front, then when it has moved over, i open the throttle and it dies for a spit second, until i roll off the throttle, then it picks up again and all is good.
Today, i want out for a short spin round the mountain roads hereabouts with a mate on his SV650, at certain points he would take off and i would follow, although again the bike would bog down if i wound the throttle open and as before, it would pick up again if i rolled off a touch.
Matey also mentioned that there was a slight smoking when setting off if we stopped for a while, plus he said he could smell the "smoke".
Haven't checked the plugs as yet, although the end of the silencer isn't wet, just sooty, so i'm hoping that the problem may be down to a rich mixture problem, i don't have to use the choke when i first start the bike, again that makes me think it could be a carb problem, it doesn't appear to be using any engine oil, the level is fine.
Anyway, i phoned my friendly dyno man today, to see if he can give it a once over and maybe find the problem, although he's booked up all next week but said he will call me if he gets a window free.
Cheers, G ; )

Hi, I've just taken out my back wheel and the spindle was tight, I had to tap it with a rubber mallet . It wasn't to bad and was still well lubed but after I took it out the centre tube fell out along with the longish spacer.
My question is, is this tube supposed to come out? I've never known this come out of any other of my bikes
If not, will it be ok to put back in, as it seems that there is a bit of play when I push it in?
Cheers in advance, Mickey
