Just signed up......though I remember being on the old forum when it started off.......I'm a Brit who's lived in Southern Spain since 2005.

Got a 2005 FZ6S.....previously owned a 98 and a 2002 FZS600.....along with a lot of other bikes over the years.

Anyway....here it is....look forward to talking with you guys!






Those were taken last Sunday....but don't let the blue sky fool you.....it was bloody freezing!

Ok people, lets hear what you rate as your favorite album.... now I know all the obvious ones, the rock classics - dark side of the moon, sabbath, tubular bells, zeppelin etc etc, I am talking about the surprise gems, the ones that you didnt expect to be any good but actually blew you away, the ones that you keep wanting to hear every song again.... just as soon as the next one finishes cos you wanna hear this one too, and the next and the next.... the albums that everyone says 'really? Why?' until you sit them down to listen to it! The albums thatyou bought on a whim then discovered that every song is a belter!


I will start it off with Black Parade by My Chemical Romance

I was expecting a bit of emo whinging and discovered a... well, lets just say it is probably the best album as a whole thing, start to finish, since Division Bell by Floyd

You will have seen at least some of these but I thought they were worth forwarding.

hello, had my FZ1n for 3 years now, cant part with it, im in north of scotland for my sins. Thats about it, Hello all.

Took my bike to bits at the end of  last year to repaint the engine and adjust some marginal valve clearances.  Now I can not work out the correct routing for the Exup cables. I have studied both the factory manual and the Haynes manual with little help.  Can anyone please describe/photograph the route please.  Current I run up to the platic frame mounted loop on the right hand side of the frame at the top. :o

Hi to all members.
I've just joined. The reason being I'm convincing myself to buy a fzs600. Having read reviews and having spoken to fazer riders I'm pretty convinced it's the bike for me (or us i should say as me and the missus are splitting the cost).


We live in Barcelona and are surrounded by beautiful places in Barcelona but I work six days and it's really hard to get anywhere on the weekends. The only affordable solution is for me to get back on a bike.  Anyway I've always liked the fazer, people say it's ugly but not to me.


So this is what's holding me back. We want to ride with our kit in panniers (preferably soft). There are very few second hand bikes around with the full 3 pannier set up so I'm wondering if there are 3 case solutions for the fzs600.


I've done a bit of unfruitful googling and now I've decided to set the question to the experts. So, all answers gratefully received.


Cheers

Is carb balancing something that should be done at any particular intervals?
I have had the bike about 18 months and covered almost 12k and have never attempted it.
The bike is still standard although I did replace the downpipes with motads.
Bike is starting to feel a bit lumpy at low revs, could this be due to unbalanced carbs?
Bike has done 32k in total but I havent had valve clearance checked yet either, could this also be a cause?
Thanks for any responses

Surplus to requirements, as I've fitted one of Devilsyam R6 shocks. The bike has done 21000 miles, very clean, all adjusters work, open to offers, or a swap with a Ivans jetting kit.....as thats what the money will be going towards.

i need to get the front wheel out this weekend (if possible) to replace the speedo sensor (the small metal thing with holes in it!)
do i need any specialist tools to do this or will the usual big hammer work !
thanks

seen some on a workmates zx-9r and like them, but....
are they any good ?
what sort of price are they ?
thanks
