Drained my oil and took the filter off. Put a new one on and put te drain bolt back along with a new crush washer. Filling the oil back up I have added 2.5litres started the bike and let it run for a few seconds. Added some more cause I couldn't see the oil mark on the window. So now I have 2.7 litres in and I still can't see the oil in the window. Wondering what your suggestion are as I got told it takes 2.7 litres with a oil change and oil filter change. Yes the bike in on the centre stand on a level surface

Going Walsall from Manchester in an hour. :/

Hi,

I have a small problem with the exhaust on myFZS600, when I last serviced it I noticed thst the exhaust didn't sound right. On closer examination I noticed that some of the fumes were exiting from the base of the can by the link pipe. Is there a way  to repair this other than replacing the can? also is the link pipe permanently attached to the can on the stock exhaust or can it be detatched? 

Thanks

Mods...please leave this here till sunday. much appreciated.

I bought my Fazer in November, its my first bike, so I'm learning as I go!

I've found though, that as I go to accelerate from about 5000/6000 revs that it initially accelerates fast, but then seems to lose power. It makes a grumbling sort of noise, and vibrates, and eventually (sometimes) it accelerates again. I'm not snapping round the throttle, I'm turning it slowly, but it has proved to be awkward on several overtakes now!


It doesn't always happen either, it always seems to be when it's more inconvenient.


People have suggested it's the carbs flooding, or the tuning of them. I was wondering if anyone has any ideas what it could be? I'm recovering from a knee injury so can't ride, so now is the perfect time to try and sort all the problems out and keep me sane!


Thanks for any help

Hi all!
I had the front calipers on my '99 Fazer stolen last night, I've been out today and grabbed another pair from a breakers but I'm concerned that they'll get pinched again. Does anyone here use any kind of anti-tamper bolts on their Fazers? And if so can you recommend me some? (Cheapish please, I'm a student!)


Cheers guys,
Ollie
