I have a 2002 FZS6 - I went to a rally a couple of weeks back and it turned out to be a rather moist one. The bike was stood in a field for a couple of days with constant rain pouring on it.

On the way home the headlights went and it turned out to be a fuse, I changed the fuse and it appeared ok - until I washed the bike and then the same thing happened again... :'(

To me it sounds like there is maybe an exposed/corroded wire somewhere that is getting wet and then shorting out?

Any other suggestions as to what this could be?

hi guys and girls...


what's your thoughts on the scotoiler vsystem? I was thinking about investing in one, £89.95 at the moment with a free dual injector. I've seen all the promo materials and testimonials, does it live up to the hype? also i've heard that they can be a bit fiddly to fit and set up and the supplied instructions can be a bit vague, at best.


on a slightly different note.


my fazer has developed a wee bit of a steering wobble. until recently she would stay true, with no hands on the bars, even at around 40mph. but not now, at around 20mph it is quite pronounced with no hands. at first i thought this due to poor loading of my panniers and rollbag on my return from scotland. however after arriving in wales and unloading the bike the wobble is still there.


I'm fairly sure that the bearings, front and back and steering head are all fine. one of the fork seals is staring to weep slightly. so my main question is, would the leaking fork seal account for the steering wobble or is there more to it.

Anyone else noticed the much welcome, cooling effect a full tank of petrol has on the nether regions?
When it's this warm, I actually look forward to the fuel light coming on.  :lol

Had the bike out today and found that it is jumping out of second gear back into neutral. This is happening when I give it some stick in second it is worse if I am high revving then change up but it did happen when I changed at lower revs then opened the throttle.  :rolleyes

Any help please.

:eek :eek
got my reminder off mrs Nash last month and as I was on leave and not going to be using the bike for a month, I thought foc it, save me money coz I'm skint and save a months insurance whilst its sat in the garage...................how foccing wrong can you be?
initial renewal was £147 which I reckoned I could beat down 20 dabs, 1 month later when I ring up, they quote me £300+ WTF?
tell the lad to foc off then ring back and get a different lad who quotes me £226.......tell him the same, he says some bollox about rates changing daily, I tell him to go foc himself........over £150 to sit me bike in the garage for a month?
taking the p**s
rang bennetts and got it for £91, added breakdown all for just under £160
I think mrs nash will be going bust soon

Simple question - Carbtune or 4x Gauges?  Or does it make little difference?

So I ride about 120 miles up to glencoe and the bike is fine and gets a good blast, I top up the tank for return journey, mpg is fine, on way back we pull in for a quick break and I smell petrol then notice fuel pouring out from the hoses underneath the bike, bike runs but gets progressively worse and vibration felt through pegs with dash sometimes vibrating also,example overtaking in 3rd is a lull, then picks up until mid rev range lull again before apparently then going full power at high revs like a v-tec kicking in on my old type-r Honda car, so I get home eventually by skin of my teeth and use a full tank of fuel in 100 miles, half generously donated to the ozone,the carb floats and seals have already been replaced by Yamaha after it did similar in my dads garage, I wonder if anyone has suffered the same, could it be the floats again or could it be simply a bit of dirt got in from the tank etc, it's not like it happened straight after sitting in garage for a while as it ran fine all the way up and it got a good thrashing.its in the yam dealers again so I'll see what they come up with and post result.

sorreeeeeeeeeeee :'(
