Non fazer but allways worth a shot with the knowledge pool we have here.

I have a H Reg GSX 600 f katana.
Was in a garden un covered for 3 years, I brought it and played with it a bit over winter. Passed an mot today but still has a few issues. Main 1 is poor running missfire and poor tickover.

But once I sort that I want to take a look at very cheaply getting the suspension working. Front springs are shot and rear ain't far off.
If I go hyper pro I'm looking at 200 for front and rear kits.
Gota be cheaper springs around. Anyone recomend a place for them? Linier I would prefer and stronger than std.
Not had much luck on owner clubs for it as all I have been to so far are inactive.
Shame as I'm sure there is a shock that's a straight swap if you know what to look for. Like maybe the Gsx 750 f rear or some such.


Shoe string budget as its a real ratty bike.

hi


does anyone have some downpies for a 98 foxeye fazer?


al

Anybody familiar with this system?

I'm considering getting a play3, and connecting cable direct to my router. If at some point in the future I get another play3 for another room, will I also need to get a bridge, or can the two play3's talk direct to each other?

So my chain has only done 3000miles and needs replacing. I'm kind of pissed off about. It has a couple of seized links.

My sprockets are fine. Should I just replace the chain?

Showing my age here, but I did the STAR rider training when I was a young fresh faced yoof. They had a mnemonic(?) for pre-ride checks but I'm jiggered if I can remember what 'T' stood for. Anyone remember that far back ?

B - Brakes
O - Oil & Fuel
L - Lights
T - Tyres & Wheels?
S - Steering

TIA, DBo.

just passed, I'd thoroughly recommend it to anyone. If you're thinking about Bikesafe just go one further and do IAM or ROSPA you won't regret it
my group is Sefton IAM and they're a really good bunch

I'm sure there are members who have thought about or have bought an ex-demonstrator bike. What are your experiences on this.
To members who have not, I ask, would you buy an ex-demo bike.


Cheers in advance.

Hi everyone, been a while since I've posted on here properly. Alot has happened over the last month -mainly getting a job in a gym, so no more despatching on my turd fazer!(so no more corrugated plastic fairing with drain pipe mount!)
So given that I can start cycling to work soon I'm going to start my bike rebuild. Theres a number of problems that I need to address quickly and a few mods I'd like to do to make it a better ride. Oh and before anyone says buy a thou -I am still an all weather biker so I'd like to keep the 600 for the winter months even after I do get a fazer thou/fireblade/ducati/who knows!
Ive got a few mods to do too such as K&N, upgraded front/rear suspension, foxeye conversion, paintjob, light engine tune.... :evil
So current problems that need doing:
Engine oil 10k miles old!
Fuel leak from pump
Rear shock has dumped all its oil (mattress bike)
Cam chain maybe 1 click away now
Leaking front forks(replaced seals and new stancions fitted)
Sprocket bearing badly worn (new bearing waiting)(new one now fitted)
Headlight wiring has a ghost(the ghost is back....)
No radiator fan (Summers coming!)(fitted)
No main stand(meh...)
Bent front fairing brace(foxeye fitted)
Frankenstein fairing(in the bin replaced by foxeye fairing)
Exhaust can blowing round crap rivets(yeah....still blowing...)
Rev counter sticks on 5k
Fuel guage KIA
Overheating light shorts when wet!

Parts I have aquired so far:
Fazer thou rear shock (Now fitted with Hyper Pro spring)
Fazer foxeye tank (Fitted)
Fazer foxeye fairing & brace (fitted)
Fazer foxeye headlight & loom (fitted)
Thundercat forks/yokes/fender (watch this space!)
Fazer foxeye main loom
Foxeye clocks
Rad fan (fitted)
Silicone rad pipes(now fitted)
Ill probably do some of the more simple things now but cant do a full strip down yet as I'll be going to france soon for a bike trip to a number of the WW1 graves with my dad and his pristine BMW 1150! Also who wants to spend the summer rebuilding a bike to ride in the stinking winter!(been on the trip -awesome great memories and no break downs!!!)

Oh and finally -Christo I washed my bike and have the pics to prove it!!!

Being part Japanese & bilingual I sometimes get drawn into watching motorcycle related vids from Japan on youtube. As if there aren't enough English videos out there to waste my time on already. Stumbled across this:

FZS600レーシーなカスタム、解説02.AVI

Very interesting FZS600, lots of custom work.

Anyway, he has fitted a 2002 R6 front end - anybody know more? Anybody tried different forks on the Fazer 600 without resorting to major surgery?
