Hi Foccers
I have just inherited a really great Triumph branded Exo2 heated vest (cheers Paul/Ogri48) and am trying to wire a suitable connector to the mighty thou.
What I need to know is, is the female connector, in the left hand pocket of the vest, centre positive or centre negative?
Any help would be much appreciated.
Cheers & regards,
Dave.

My next task is to spray the front of the engine with engine paint. 


I recently changed oil and filter.  Does anyone know, if I take off the oil cooler to clean and spray around it, how much oil I will lose?  Will I need to drain it first or will it just be what's in the cooler, in which case I can top up afterwards?


Thanks.

Evening all, hope everyone's well ..
So as per title, one of my coils has packed up, resistance tested it and it was quite a bit out from the other three so swapped it for a good one and the symptoms followed it (cold exhaust), anyway has anyone bought one recently for reasonable cash ?

Hi Guys,


Can anyone recommend / post A link to a replacement build for my 03' fzs600 please?
One that I can buy and straight fit. Do I need to look out for any specific specification for what I can have? or just buy one from Halfords etc.. Thanks

So I've had my centre stand, cleaning it up as well as I can, and put a new coat of hammerite on the thing of course.

It moves ok, but it doesn't return fully. The seats are a bit naffed, but the main problem I think is how little force there is on the spring when it's up. Hence I'd like to replace the spring. Ideally a repair kit, something like this:

But I can't find one for  the fazer. Any suggestions? Or spring dimensions?

I have the nuts tight, 30 Nm on them. Is this necessary, or is it safe to have them loser with the lock nuts and some thread lock on there? Maybe the issue.

Thanks if you can guide.

Hi.
I had to remove my ehaust due to holes in the collector under the engine. I've been soaking the studs in plusgas for 2 weeks while still riding to work every day. Managed to get 7 nuts off without any issues. Not so lucky with the last one. Snapped with stud sticking out from the head, so I bought a set of stud extractors. They look like sockets and grab the stud when you turn.
Snapped flush with the head now.
Tried drilling - drill slipped and went sideways. just caught the head. No major damage but I can't start drilling straight now with engine in he frame.
So last option is to try and weld a nut to it and try screwing it out. I'll have to ask my neighbour who has a welder but with this social distancing it's a bit awkward.
Last question is:It's 4th stud from the left, right in the centre of the head. What will happen if I just bolt the exhaust without it? I have new copper gaskets so will it squash them and seal with one nut missing? I really don't fancy removing the head to get this done.
Thanks

was talking to a friend who Said he would like to take his 2002 fazer 600 to Spain for a road trip but he can’t find breakdown cover for it.
I would like to go too and have a 2002 fazer 1000.
Can anybody recommend a good breakdown/ recovery service for older bikes.
Thanks.
