Any ideas guys/girls.

Hi! Anyone got a Blue Flame can on their bike? The reason I ask is because it seems the link pipe is A) too long, and B) I've had to push the right hanger out a mile to get the can to stop clipping the swingarm. I was wondering whether it was the wrong link pipe? Dead_Eye and I had a bit of a battle fitting the bugger earlier today...

Photos of the setup tomorrow. Any ideas in the meantime? Thanks!

Hi,


Just picked up my 1999 Fazer 600 today, got a couple of questions.


My clocks are in KM, can I just plug in a set in Miles and it will work correctly?


The rear brake has a lot of movement before engaging the brake. Is this common, or can this be simply adjusted?


After riding home in the dark my first job is the headlight mod and some brighter bulbs!!


Cheers
Mike

Hello All
Just joined the forum because I've got quite a bit of work to do on my '02 FZS600 and could do with some advice
I'm in Nottingham, been riding the bike for 18 months.
I don't have a car and commute 40 miles a day (mostly on the M1).
All year except a week or two when there's ice on the road.
The bike's in good condition(12k miles) but suffering from the salt.
I've been pretty slack with maintenance so far but here's what I've got coming up:
Rebuilding the rear brake caliper (pistons and seals)
New stainless exhaust
K&N air filter
Balance carbs
Front sprocket nut
Change coolant, oil & filter
Fork dust seals
General de-rusting & painting

Cheers

[color=rgb(102, 102, 102)]Sadly it's time to say goodbye to my mini. I have only had it for 1 year but I've done quite a lot to make it a near perfect car! [/color]

I feel a bit guilty putting this on here since I've not really posted since the move from YUKU...


£4250 ONO located in Swindon

1994 L plated 1.3 Sprite with only 34,719 miles and just 2 previous owners. Car is absolutely rust free having been resprayed less than a year ago. I’ve fitted with a few modern essentials to make it better as a daily driver, central locking and an alarm, while keep the interior stylish, classic cobra racing seats for example!


It’s time for something more practical and I feel very guilty about saying goodbye after such a short period of time!

Afternoon all, anyone got any tales of wisdom (or something for sale) re mounting of the stock clocks? I'm removing the front fairing to fit twin lights and screen and just remembered the clocks have to live somewhere! lol

Any help appreciated.

Been noticing notchy gear changes recently, so thought I'd quickly check the oil level.... which seems to be down (no oil leaks apparent). However, through the viewing window I can see emulsion streaks, and the bottom of the filler cap and inside the side panel is thoroughly coated with white emulsion.
Head gasket is presumably a first potential culprit here, but the bike is otherwise running beautifully.
I'll drain the old oil (changed a year ago) and refill, but is there anything else I should check?
(The bike has been used pretty much every day over the last year (8 miles each way)).

While fitting a Devilsyam sprocket cover I have noticed my front sprocket is well on its way out, (teeth bending but not thinning) although chain and back spocket seem ok, also the sprocket was loose the locking tab having broken and the nut loose luckily catching on the 2nd flat on the broken tab. I have toured the local bike shops with a view to just replacing the front and am told this is common for the tab to break! Having checked for chains and sprockets I am wondering which way to go for a tourer stlyle rider. The front spocket is 16T & 4XV with plastic coated sides so I don't know what make this is. Any views out there please.
