Having a bit of a declutter: This can came with my FZS600, but I never used it. It's a Micron can, for the FZS600, but don't have a much more details on it. Only marking on it I can see is 'Micron Magnex 53.98' on one clamp, near springs. There's  nowt at the end, as it seems to have been Hammerited in black. It's in pretty good nick, needs a good polish, but there is a scuff on one side nearest bike, shouldn't be noticeable once fitted though. Includes clamps and bolts for fitting.


How does £60 sound?
Pick up from East London, or I don't mind posting, let me get a quote.

Gotta feel sorry for him.  :rolleyes
My son, passed his CBT, started riding his CBF125 in March (proud Dad & Mum) and was doing quite well 'till yesterday.
Fell off in rain at low speed on a roundabout, no injury, minimal damage.
Limped home with forks twisted in yokes and bent bars.
Straightened out easy enough, then he opened a brown envelope with this........



Cried?  :'(  I nearly PMSL.  :lol
Steep learning curve innit.  Poor bugger! 

I seem to have an oil leak behind the magneto. doooh. Is it engine rebuild time to replace that oil seal? If it is what specialist tools would I need to get the engine apart. I'm guessing a puller for the magneto, clutch and starter clutch? Then a valve tool. Might aswell do them if I have to take it apart. Ring compressor, low end torque wrench. Anything else? Parts wise what would I need? Rings, gaskets...anything else? I've done 2 stroke engines but not 4 stroke so I'd be a newb to engine rebuilds. Anyone got any good news for me?

Hi all
Today I purchased my first ever Fazer, a 04 FZS 1000, only had a brief ride so far but very impressed.
At the moment I also have a Blackbird and a BMW 800 ST, I plan to sell the ST and if the Fazer ticks all the boxes I will sell the Bird too  :rolleyes  Must admit I am so impressed with the weight and because of that the fact that I may not have to lower it (we will see lol)!


My name is Lorraine (Loz) and I am a granny from Poole in Dorset.  Hope you get lots of useful info from you, from what I've read there is a vaste amount of knowledge here. My OH Mark is my bike valet and mechanic lol important for a mere girly to have one of those in her life  :lol

Could anyone say what paint code I need for the Fzs fazer 600 ( 2001) which is blue metallic and where to get it - preferably at a reasonable cost i.e. cheap as poss.  many thanks ,Steve

help...... please
I've got a low mileage foxeye that's not been used over the winter. Battery's been trickled all the time, so it starts on the button, but runs rough. It was all serviced & balanced at the end of the summer and ran beautifully. 
The plugs seem clean still, but pulling #4 lead off and there's little change in engine note - significantly less than the others. The leads are doing their thing, and I can't see how a dormant plug could die over the winter....
As there seems to be a spark getting to each plug, I suspect fuel.
I've just put a load of fresh fuel in...  no change.
Is there anything else I'm missing?
Thanks

Went for a first longer ride on my 2001 FZS600. I saw my right foot and the right side of the engine were all greasy. A thin layer of oil. After some 400 kilometres, the amount of oil spilt was about 1mm lower on the leve checking window (from full, to full - 1mm leverl). So still well over half.

Tried to see where the leak was. Seems to be near the bottom right part of the engine. Either at the bolts, or at the seal. Hasn't happened before. Has anyone experienced similar problems?


I've marked the general area where the leak seems to be coming from. All the bolts in that area look suspicious. Though it could be some sealant between the engine and the engine side cover.

Any ideas?    :eek

Up The Latics, hope you can do it for Wits 

I've done 2500 miles on my six so far and only just feel it time to do it. It wasn't less than an inch of free play when I got the bike so perhaps it was tight. Anyway, how often?
