Afternoon guys and girls, hope everyone's well.
So, my bikes been off the road for quite some time, had a couple of runs out on it but only done about 500-600 miles from memory in 18 months.
Yesterday I decided to dust it off and went for a 100 or so mile ride and maybe 3 or 4 times, when under moderately hard acceleration, the clutch slipped, I've noticed a smell every now and again as well and it definitely feels a tiny bit down on power, which after looking are all symptoms of clutch slip so I'm guessing it's time to change the plates.
Bikes on 54k miles, clutch has never been done that I am aware of.
Now, I might sound stupid here, but is it best to change both sets of plates at the same time, or just the friction plates?
I'm looking at the EBC plates, but are cheaper ones going to be much of a muchness or is it worth paying out for EBC?
I'm going to do the cable at the same time as well, just for peace of mind and similarly is their a particular brand other than OEM worth looking at?
Don't want to scrimp, but also trying to save what I can where I can.
And if I'm not mistaken it's best practice to leave all the plates soaking in engine oil overnight before fitting?
And lastly, do the bolts/springs/basket need doing as well or are they generally fine to re-use?
Be my first time tackling a job like this, so want to gather as much information as possible first... I appreciate any help/advice/tips!
It felt absolutely bloody great being back out on the old girl!

Is there actually a place to install bobbins on the rear of the fz6 as am struggling to find a slot for them? or are people using those paddock stands with L grips on the swingarms?

All

Is there a temperature guage mod that people have carried out? Conscious there is no guage, and that apparently water pumps are prone to failing, is there a conversion/adaptation kit that anyone is aware of?

Thanks

Sorry All,

Probably been asked a million times ....

Is the genuine Yamaha Manual (2001-2005) available anywhere on here? I have a 4XV R1 one, but obviously a number of differences!

I always ask before paying someone on ebay £15 for a USB stick or download!

Thanks

Hi All, 
The front mudguard side shoulder fixing bolts of my 2007 FZ6 S2 are too crudded to get back any shine.
Any idea where can I get just a couple of stainless bolts to replace?
Cheers, Alistair

Hi all,

I'm Alex, and collect a 2003 Fazer 1000 tomorrow evening. It's my first Fazer and I've bought it for summer runs between work (North London) where I stay down in the the week, and home (North Yorkshire) at the weekends. I've owned two R1s, a 4XV and 5JJ so am looking forward to that grunty R1 derived motor! I also own a Harley Davidson Fatboy and 2024 BMW GS1250 Adventure.

It's a very standard silver model and broadly unmodified. Will post a photo when collected.

I'm on the lookout for Givi pannier racks ..... which I understand are hard to come by.

Thanks

Hi all, been a while since I was last on, looked through the threads and can't see anything on this. My 2002 will red line no problem in 1st, 2nd and 3rd but 4th upwards, get to 8ooorpm and it bogs down, all power gone, won't rev past unless I pull in the clutch, roll off the throttle and all good. It's across all four cylinders. Any thoughts?

I still have problems with it sometimes, not always, cutting out under acceleration, sudden and brief, bit of a problem when overtaking, wondering if this is linked to the above issue or not.
