Evening guys,


Hope your all well, I have just found a near zero miles gen 1 s1000rr shock (bronze body). I am getting it modded with new bushes by a lad who done them before. It’s going on my fzs1000 2002 bike with low miles. I know they are meant to bolt straight in but is there anything else I should be looking for when fitting ? I wanted an R6 shock however they were all to much money on top. If the spring on this isn’t up to my weight of 100kg I’ll change it later. I bought it as it was one track day done on it and is pretty much brand new. I would love to know the spring rate on the gen 1 shock anyone ????


Cheers guys keep safe  :evil :evil

Hi all. My first post on here. I’ve just picked up a 1998 FZS600 which a very clean and tidy bike. I’m hoping to build up some experience and have a go at the mechanics on my own. 


I’m planning to service the bike starting with the valve clearances. Then onto a fuel filter change, plugs, air filter oil, carb balance and coolant flush to get me started.


I’ve been looking for a comprehensive ‘how to’ guide at completing the valve clearances but I’m struggling to find one. I do have a Haynes manual but would prefer something specific to this task including the prep work etc.


I’d speculate some support on this. Based in Sheffield.


Thanks all.

Hi
Does anyone have link pipe for fzs 600
Many Thanks

Hi Just joined the fazer cause. A big thanks to all the posts I've read since getting my new/old bike, they have been very helpful.
Cheers to you all.

Hi all. Looking forward to getting stuck into a bit of maintenance on my 1998 FSZ600. Sheffield based.

Hi all,

Slowly winding up for the new season, and noticed that the battery on my 2003 Gen1 is on its last legs. I fully loaded it a couple of days before, but then on the D-day it cranked the engine over just a few times before giving up. A reload later it started fine, then OK at the gas station (D+10 minutes) and then just barely at another after an air pressure check (D+15m).

Time for a new battery apparently (this one lasted 4 years).

My alternatives are:

• Original Yuasa YT14B-BS gel battery. 110-130€, depending on the source.
  
• There are now also Lithium-Ion (LiFePO4) batteries for the Gen 1. These are physically smaller so they need some padding around them, 2-3 kilos lighter, are claimed to have a longer lifespan, and also have significantly lower capacity (4 Ah - 12.6 Ah for Yuasa). Require some care with the charging equipment, higher voltages can apparently damage both the battery and what is around it... Price range for example from Louis.de is about the same.
  
• Other suggestions are welcome.
