Hello

I've got a lovely 98 FZS600 which I've had about 6 weeks now.

I've just started to notice a knocking through both foot pegs when the revs are at about 3 to 3.5k.

The knocking dissappears when you get past this or roll off the power or pull the clutch in.

The knocking is only really noticable when cruising at about 30mph through town, but not when your crusing at 60+ on the open road.

I've seen a few simlar posts which point at chain and sprocket but I wandered if it could be anything else before I splash the cash.

Bike has done 29000 miles, I've recently serviced and replaced wheel bearings front and back and the sprocket carrier bearing.  Have no other service information so not sure when chain was replaced if it has at all.

Look forward to reading your thoughts

Hi There

Just a quick intro as I'm generally a man of few words.

Passed my test about 2 months back and bought a black '98 Fazer FZS600, not my first choice which was a Blade (insurance scuppered that one) but not a bad choice in the end.

Had the bike about 6 weeks now and really enjoy riding it - once I'd replaced the wheel bearings and put some air in the tyres.

It has a few niggles - hence joining this forum but what do you expect from a 15 year old bike witrh 29000 miles.

Eyup, I'm looking for some standard indicators and a rear tail tidy (or as the Yanks say "fender eliminator") for my Gen 2 FZ1s if anyone has any they would like to sell, cheers, Mike

having a good look round my bike on tuesday evening it looks like the plastic bits that go from the carbs to the engine have been cracked and glued up.
bike seems to run ok but should i be replacing these ?
if so, what are they called and how much?
thanks

Recently I dropped my fazer at a stand still on a gravelly lay by  :o , as well as feeling stupid & getting a couple of minor grazes the clutch lever swivelled round & impacted on the switch cluster.  I managed to get that back in the right place easily then checked out the switches they all worked ok except the horn, I checked the connectors on the horn itself in case they had been loosened - but they are ok & the fuses but there is no separate fuse shown in the circuit for the horn so I suspect that the internal horn switch is u/s or that perhaps a wire has come loose or sheared.  Any idea where I can get a used spare from, I guess it comes with connections to the loom as the internal wiring is all soldered rather than with connectors.  Any help from anyone whos had a similar expereince would be much appreciated.....

if my posts the other night were a bit off colour.  :o :o :o :o


I made the mistake of mixing my ptsd meds, with alcohol.    Bad combination.  I just had to see if the warnings about mixing with booze,  were founded on empirical evidence,  or were a get out clause by the manufacturer.  I'd guess both  :eek    Aggression was off the scale.


Sorry if I upset anyone.  Seem to have managed to upset everyone else I came into contact with.  :'( 

I stuck about 5 caps fulls in my tank. Deffo made a differents bike is much more crisp now. When I acclerate the engine tone souns like a jet taking off its awesome...

I noticed my rev counter dropped to 0 when I was revving hard in 4 or 5 gear.
the bike revs and runs smoothly despite the rev counter issue then the counter works as normal after a few seconds.

any ideas?

Not sure if its tps related, I've read through the recent treads about tps issues but I've not been able to find out anything about it.

Just bought a scottoiler with dual injectors on fleabay. Seller was Busters and its about £30 cheaper than buying direct off their site!!!
