Are there any women on this site (I know about me :rolleyes ) I can't tell from your forum names lol.....no reason just interested  :lol

Looking highly likely i'm gonna be needing a TPS for my 600, 2000 model, i'm having a bit of trouble sourcing one at the moment.

Can anyone help at all? 

1998 Mk 1 Red 34,000 miles. T&T. Just not being used. 100% reliable. New Bridgestone tyres. New front wheel bearings. New brake pads all round. Newish Yuasa battery.
Bad bits (there's always some!). The speedo has stopped working, probably I have refitted the speedo-drive incorrectly after the tyre change. The bodywork is a bit shabby, plastics not holed at all but some scratches.
I thought I would offer it on here before Ebaying it.
£850

I want to do a valve clearance check....something I have never done before. (Bike now done 26k miles).
I have looked at the service manual and want to have a go myself but just wonder about a couple of things.
Is access easy enough? The AIS is removed.
Will I need new gaskets?
How long should it take me?....Oh, that's three things!

Anything else for a 'first timer'?

Thanks

I'm still on the lookout for a hugger.


Thanks for Sean sorting all my other wanted bits before his trade-in 

hey all,

i have the 98 model with the old steel tube black grab rail and noticed they upgraded it on the 2001 model i think. I have seen a load of them on ebay and was wondering if it would fit the 98 model bike? it looks way better i think.

anyone given this a go?

Collecting my fazer in less than 2 weeks!! Any of you lot up aberdeen way? Never owned one before so looking for hints and tips!

got the seals done finally,


instead of going out and buying a seal pusher or going back to the garage and admitting defeat i got 2 3 inch lengths of waste pipe, the white pipe under the sink, and split them (just one cut on the vertical so you can stech it open) and i streched one onto the fork, but doesnt fit the whole way around, the i put the other on from the far sidecover in the splight but about 10 mill up from the bottom of the first one and then got a large fastener, same as on the rad hoses and tighted it to the leg


reason i left the the first one i put on about the mill lower is so that the first one is tight against the leg and so when you push the fork down it batters the top bush down, then when you have that done, its the seal next


quick tip....milk carton!, 2 liter plastic milk carton, just cut off the bit in the middle where the label is and where its smooth, dont need that much, rub grease on sealant grease is better if you have it, wrap that around top of fork in a cone shape, put seal over it and slide the whole lot down the leg and past all that stone chipping on the fork that you might not have got off, all the way now just pull the plastic milk carton piece out and push seal in,


get the waste pipe again put one on, the the second from the other side, just put the second one this tim down 10 mill and clip, this is now able to push the all important outside of the seal where you can hit it and doesnt hit the inner part of the seal against the fork


put dust cap on put all back in fork, fill with oil, job done!

I haven't looked into it yet but my partner has been riding on a cbt license for a few years now she's over 30  :eek I want her to go from the twist and go to manual gears what does she need now to go forward
Cheers
