Anyone know why Suzuki are not present at the motorbike show?

Hi All,
Sorry if this is in the wrong section but can't post in the wanted section?
Anyway I'm after a petrol tank ( FZS600 mk1) in black if possible also the plastic painted pannel from under the seat to the rear light (right hand side) in black also.
Cheers all mike tel 079210 44233

Guys


Not sure how to approach this one.


Got the bike back together after the winter clean and it starts and runs a treat - sounds good too.


However, I used to start it with the choke out, go back and close the garage door and then close the choke and the bike would be running sweet.


But now, the bike wont run without the choke part way out - i left it running for 10 mins, closed the choke and the bike cut out.


Oil - changed last year and there is enough in the bike.
Coolant : changed last July and enough in the bike
Petrol - filled up before putting away for winter.
Sparks - changed last year (with the oil)
Battery - new last year.


anything in particular that would stop it running with the choke in.


When it does run - you can see the white smoke coming out the exhaust


Cheers.

Afternoon Foccors!! 

After deciding I need stainless downpipes + K&N + after market silencer + Iridium SP's + 97 RON fuel it really needs to go on the rolling road for a tune up!

Just wondering how many of you dudes have had your 600 dyno tuned?? Did it make any huge improvements? Is there anything specific we need to be on the look out for? Has any one got any dyno print outs they could upload onto here?

Any feed back would be most appreciated!!

Cheers

As Tori has stood down from organising the membership and club stands I was going to tidy up (i.e. delete) the BMF boards and the post on the front page. But before I do, is there anyone who would be willing to take over from Tori?

In any case I would like to thank Tori for all her work over the previous years and the publicity it has generated :thumbup

I was in my local Yamaha dealer yesterday where I bought my brand new fazer 1000 ABS  from back in august 2008 for £7130 plus £350 cashback from yamaha


Now there £9450 ,, :eek

Hi- I need to replace my chain and sprockets on my bog standard 2002  Gen1 fazer 1000.  I don't ride hard ( but don't ride like a vicar either !) - so what x-ring do people suggest for best quality/ best value - I don't need the heaviest super duty race chain, just something that is better than o.e.m. spec- perhaps something like a DID 530 VXGB or an EK x-ring chain.??  I have read somewhere that it is always advisable to use a new Yamaha front sprocket, as other makes make more noise- is this true?  The Yam sprockets cost much more than say a Sunstar or JT sprocket - I see chain/sprocket packages that are very reasonable which use cheaper front sprockets, I just wonder if it is false economy and I would be better to go for the Yam front sprocket, and buy the chain and rear sprocket all separately - advice please, Cheers!

Hi, my father picked up a 54 plate Fazer today, that is in need of some huge TLC..we are after the following parts to try and bring the old girl back to life,

I Jumped on my FZ1 put the key in ignition and turned....
But the Key wouldn't turn far enough to start the bike..I think that the ignition has seized up so I go off to the shed and get some WD40 to spray into the ignition..
Then i try turning the key again to start the bike but again & again & again everytime the key failed to turn far enough to start the bike..




A few minutes later I notice the starter button on the throttle housing... :o ... :o ... :o
