Am I being a bit dumb ? I can't find this weekends race covered on the bbc this weekend? That can't be right can it? :'(

After an impulsive upgrade to a Gen 1 Fazer 1000, I've got to sell my Fazer 600.  Its a 1999 T reg in silver with just over 30K miles.


12 months MOT, K+N air filter, Oxford heated grips, Givi Rack.  New front road 3CT with less than 30 miles on it. Rear road 2CT still has a few thousand miles wear left in it. Down pipes were replaced about 4 years ago.


I had no storage 2 years ago, so it has spent 1 winter not under cover. Due to this, its a little tatty cosmetically.  I had a slow lowside on the bike and there was some damage to the front fairing and scrapes to the exhaust, as shown in the pictures. Usual corrosion to the engine.


Located in Airdrie, central Scotland. Bike is priced for its condition and a quick sale.  I'm looking for £700  and if it goes for very close to that,  I've also got a Silver Kappa 46L top box to go with the bike.

Hello,  As the title says i guess.. 


My new bike, a y2k 600, was making an odd noise occasionally, looking at the posts on here i deduced it was something to do with the chain.  So I took off the chain cover, destroying the gasket in the process, to find all manner of cak in there.  Loads of heavy oil and crud as well as a good few wee pebbles.  So I cleaned all the sheckter out, cleaned then lubed the chain(with muck off, good old halfords!) and gasket sealed the cover.  I sat the bike on it's centre stand and stuck it in first,  the chain started flapping about, jumping up and down, intermittently, but quite a lot more than i expected - like it had some sticky links, but it wasn't regular.  The play is ok and the chain seemed to be in good enough nick.  the sprocket nut is original and the bike has only done 6000 miles.  I rode it and it seemed fine. is it flapping just cause there is not enough  load.  oh, and do i have to replace the paper gasket or would gasket seal be ok?


while i was in there the output shaft looks like it might have a wee leak. Do I just pop the gasket and drift in a new one?  thanks in advance. 

Just got my nose cone back from repair & respray and now looking for the decals that need replaced.


been searching through almost every site I can find, but cannot seem to find the stickers at the price that wont ruin me.


Managed to find :

or


http://www.ebay.com.au/itm/New-Genuine-Y...3961wt_931


but looking for some thing a tad less expensive.


seen a number of threads on here about stickers but nothing exactly that im looking for.


Any other sources?


only source I had now tells me he needs the sizing/measurements - since its been resprayed, the decals arent there for me to size.

first off yes i have searched    i just get bombarded with the usual cam chain rattle when cold until warm.


i have had cam chain rattle previously but usually sorts itself or the old roll backwards in gear trick sorts it.




however i have been riding all winter this year so probably never going over 6000 revs. so the slight rattle i could hear sounded like a lose nut or washer, nothing serious or loud just annoying.  thought it may have been valve clearances because it sounded a bit tapety.


last sunday i went for a blast, bike sounded normal at first but after half a day spirited ride i noticed the rattle was much louder. now after lunch it was quiet again untill it warmed up. it had a good blast all day and tensioner didnt adjust like i'd expect.


the rattle started at around 6000 like the usual vibration you usually get but over time its been kicking in lower down the revs. now its starts around 2000 revs and is much louder but still only when warm.


bike has only done 20,000. gets ridden daily 15min to work and back and the odd weekend blast in summer.


any ideas? surley cam chain isn't worn yet, they usually last 50000 dont they?

:lol :lol :lol :lol

Hi folks,
As per my fork rebuild post, with the forks and yolks off, I've decided to have the yolks powder coated as they're looking a little sad.
Read the posts on here and checked the Haynes manual, it says to remove the shear bolts from the top of the ignition collar, which I've managed to do by tapping out with a drift.
This reveals two Philips head screws, again, I've managed to undo these but I can't get the barrel away from the yolk. There's a shaft running up the centre and I can't find a way to make enough "room" to get the barrel out from the yolk.
Looking at the build up, it looks like the barrel is held in place on the bottom with two "no head" screws which screw into the yolk, do these need to be removed also? (See Photos) If so, any ideas how to remove them?
Hoping to get the yolks in the post on Monday so any suggestions on how to get these apart would be much appreciated.
Cheers guys.

I fancy a spin out from mid Wales up to Brecon,Merthyr and round about,maybe Landovery cafe, anyone else out Sunday after lunch ?

My Mrs drove me to luton airport for me to pick up my hire car.

We stopped very briefly to drop me off,  it was dark and we were unfamiliar with the airport and it's roads etc ……

Yesterday in post we get a letter, fine of £80 for not parking in the correct zone.

Well needless to say I'm fuming!

I'm contesting this ………… Yes I've Googled and got more info which I won't go into here.

Anyone else had similar experience??
