I've just got myself into the modern age with a smartphone, what do I need to do to access FOC-U on it easily?

Hey Guys!

Ok So I have just seen a original end can for sale on ebay and wanted to know how would I put it back on my bike?

I currently have a Delkevic on there but I think it is taking power away from me because I have my restrictors in anyway, I don't think it is helping.

Hi All,


Does anyone know if you can get hard panniers for the fazer. Having trouble finding any. Top box's not really a problem to find. You'd think with such a popular bike there would be lots of options!!

Hi people,
Have done a search but no joy. Here's my question - red oil light comes on soon after pulling away and stays on for about one mile. Oil has been changed at least 500 miles ago therefore its a light gingery colour in addition to the milky colour which having read on this site seems to be caused by condensation. So trying to see the oil level in the sight window is proving very difficult. If I knew for sure that the level was low then I could top it up which should stop the red oil light illuminating but i don't want to risk overfilling with oil. As my memory pans back to a mechanic who overfilled with oil a deisel mini bus I used to drive causing literally a black smoke screen behind me after i pulled away from every set of traffic lights. Agreed that my FZS is not Transit deisel but i just don't want to overfill my bike with oil.  . Any suggestions?

Hi Everybody, Just signed up tonight and love the site. Was a member of the USA FZ1 owners Assoc for many years having lived in Boston, Mass for 2 decades before retiring to my Home in Dublin last summer. Currently own a `03 yellow Thou and a `02 Blue FZ 600. I also own a FJ1200, `86 vintage and all original 19k mls bike which I brought back from the US last year along with my trusty Kawa ZRX1200.  Love `em all !!! Have been riding for 40 plus years and have mostly favored yammies, though I do have a soft spot for Kawas.  Had a nice `03 Fazer 1000 in Kenny Roberts factory colors in the States which I wish I had not sold !!! Look forward to visiting the site regularly and interacting with members whilst learning a few things along the way.  Its nice to be home again and able to follow closely all the road racing in Ireland along with track meets not to mention BSB, my best liked series of all. Nice to see one of my favourite riders take the championshion last year, thats one up for the Geezers !!!!    :lol  Daithi

I've put this in here as it's more relevant to this area...

Had mine on for about 18 months now, and although it is a vast improvement over standard, I've always thought it could be a bit better if I fettled it a bit more. I'm currently running the standard settings of 15 clicks out (out of 20) for rebound, 3 full turns out (out of 4) on the high speed compression damping nut and 16 clicks out (out of 20) on the low speed comression damping screw.
After reading the thread about the S1000 shock conversion, I had a look at the R6 owners manual to see what the standard settings were, and this caught my eye:
NOTE
Although the total number of clicks or turns of a damping force adjusting mechanism may not exactly match the specifications listed due to small differences in production,the actual number of clicks or turns always represents the entire adjustment range. To obtain a precise adjustment, it would be advisable to check the number of clicks or turns of each damping force adjusting mechanism and to modify the specifications as necessary.
So I decided to check mine, just to see if they might be out. I dialled everything all the way in, the out again and this is what i found:
High speed comp nut: 4 and a quarter turns to fully out. ( close enough )
Low speed comp screw: 35 clicks to fully out :eek
Rebound screw: 28 clicks to fully out :eek
So, taking into account what the note above says, and that the standard settings are all technically 3/4 of the way through the range, I've made some adjustments
High speed comp left at 3 turns out
Low speed comp now set at 25 clicks out ( of 35 )
Rebound set at 21 clicks out ( out of 28 )
A bounce test has it feeling softer already, but cant test ride it until tomorrow on my 6 mile round trip to work.
Who knows, I might have just arsed it up completely, but its easy enough to put it back to where it was. Might have to get around to fettling it properly now anyway :lol 
Thoughts, anyone? Has this been discussed before and I've missed it? Or was it something that everyone knew anyway, except me? :o

I know there are a couple of heated grip fitting guides on here, I have just fitted mine and took some pictures along the way, Hopefully its helpful to somebody.

... whilst everyone else is nursing their New Year hangovers you can get out and have a great blast (ahem) Progressive Ride on virtually empty roads 

I also got to try out the Power Commander on my FZ6 and I love it, it makes a good bike even better!!

Hi I updated my lights on my fzs 600 98 yesterday to Philips night breakers only to find that my near side light has been exchanged for a h4 so I have h4 on both sides.  Now the bulb on that side that I just replaced was a 35w and the night breaker is 55w and it only comes on as full beam which I think I hadn't noticed due to the lower wattage of the other bulb. Does anyone else have this and or know if it will put too much load on the battery and wether there is something I can do to make dip and full work properly. Oh last but not least is it legal?
Cheers


Edit: sorry they are Philips xtreme vision not night breakers
