Hello there focers!
Just a quick question!
Can somebody tell me how many turns out to unscrew the pilot air screw?
2 or 2,5??? my bike is an fzs 600 2001,with k&n air filter and danmoto carbon exhaust.
Thanks guys!

:eek So...... the apparent problem with the radiator fan that stopped the bike from starting has a completely different problem which will virtually scrap the bike. (Still have the problem with the radiator fan I guess)

The mechanic has found the problem- there is corrosion in the plug connecting to the ECU and two pins on the ECU have corroded away and are shorting out the other pins. This is a three year old bike that has done 8000 miles- not a winter hack!

Mechanic says I need a new CPU and possible plug but worse that that I need a new ignition barrel and new set of keys coded to the ECU and the whole bike coded to the ECU as this is the brain of the bike- Estimated cost approaching £2000

I dont have £2000 to spenjd on the bike and so would be grateful if anyone on here knows which years ECU's are compatible with my 2009 FZ6S2? I dont know if earlier versions or later vesions would be suitable and hopefully I can find one on EBAY as a set from a scrap donor bike.

The alternative seems to be scrapping my pride and joy and selling it off in bits (other than the ECU) and hope to make enough money to buy another bike

In the meantime- check under the tank to the rear near the shock absorber and see if any water has been getting in- not sure what to recommend then- unplug it and hope nothing breaks so you can vaseline the pins or leave it alone

Someone must have bought these lovely rearsets at some time, cos the factory/dealers can,t find me any. Anyone got a set for sale? colour irrevelent, good price paid for genuine set. ok. ta.

Not had my fazer running for a few months. Charged the battery up and tried starting it. All that happens is the solenoid clicks frantically. No action from the starter motor. Warned to get it mot'd tomorrow. Any suggestions welcome.

Thanks
Andy

Hi guys,

Can anyone help me with this small problem, please? I've converted my '98 Fazer to a cafe racer look with a single headlight. I'm now very pleased with the looks, handling and headlight perfomance (which is about a million times better than standard!).

My problem is now when I switch the dipped beam on, the high beam light on the instrument panel comes on at about half strength and when I switch to main beam it comes on fully.

When I first wired up the light I had the dipped and main beam wired up the wrong way around BUT the main beam light on the panel came on ONLY when the main beam was switched on. The troubles have only started since I've wired the lights correctly simply by switching the connectors around in the plug for the bulb. I checked all the earths and connections and even earthed both the earth wires from the original twin headlight wiring but to no avail. I have changed the main bulbs in the instuments to LED ones but they made no difference to the idiot lights when the headlight wiring was the wrong way around so I'd guess they're not the reason. It's obviously getting a small feed from somewhere. Perhaps I need some resistors somewhere? Any ideas greatly appreciated! 

Cheers,

Giles

One of my adjustor bolts sheared inside the singing arm. Unfortunately the screw extractor also sheared so now looking for a replacement swinging arm. I've attached a pic of what I'm after, from looking about some black arms seemed to be box section.



I wondered if anyone had one, has broken a bike or perhaps knew somebody that may have one. Or even could recommend a decent part finder service/website.

Cheers for reading

Got to minor issues I am looking to sort -

1. The lighting in the clocks is dimmer than it has been on other FZS1000's I have owned, is there a know connector and/or wire/s in the front fairing loom that I need to clean and/or upgrade..?

2. The have always found the rear brake to be far too sharp for its own good, what have people done to dumb/reduce down the perf of said brake..? I'm thinking of lowering the pedal position and also getting the worst pads I can find..?

ta.

I've noticed that there's some bubbling on the paint (presumably rust starting to form under it) on the back of the swingarm on my FZ6.

So (apart from getting a new/ different bike!) could anyone suggest a sensible course of action to deal with it?
