Hi all!
I need to improve my front forks. Its now got 30k miles and I'm about to give it a make over. I've seen the piston kit on k-teck website anyone tried them? What make type of springs has anyone used?  I've got an r6 shock fitted from devilsyam which is better than stock but I must admit not as good as I was expecting after reading comments on the forum. No disrespect to Devilsyam top bloke and the shock was mint and worth the money as a budjet replacement.
Any way I really want to find the best way to improve the standard forks. Or is an R1 fork replacement really worth the money or just a way  to "bling" up the gen1  
Also I'm still on original wheel bearings had the bike from new.When you spin the wheels I can't feel any notchiness put am wondering how much longer I should go before replacing them. There is slight play in the suspension linkage which I will do. Will use genuine yam parts unless anyone can suggest a cheaper alternative of the same quality .

I might be being really thick here, but there appears to be no 'gallery' to share pictures of bikes/ ride outs.
maybe a possible thing to add to the forum, as every other forum I have used has a gallery, and it makes sharing experiences etc a whole lot easier.

Used but In good nick apart for one crack thats had a temporary repair on the fixing hole on the right (exhaust side).


If some one has the skills to repair it proper, you have a will have solid genuine hugger to use.


Pm me with your e-mail if you want pictures of it ?

there are 800+ so link here

would i do it again, hell yeah, but would stay out the desert for sure

already thinking for next year

I bought some Michelin Road Pilot 3's for my Gen 1 fazers 1000.
The tyre fitter told me to inflate the front tyre to 38psi and the rear to 40psi - the reason being was that the rp3's have hard compound in middle of tread and soft on the shoulders.
The manual states 36psi for the front tyre and 39psi (solo riding) for rear tyre.
What pressures  should I use???
Thanks

Hi folks. Newbie here from just outside Glasgow. Ive been riding on and off for 6 years now. I don't currently own a bike but looking to get a Fazer and have joined here to see the pros and cons of getting one

Cheers

Caigie

This place looks busy!  :eek



Hi all - new Plymouth rider here - Huzzah!!


Just passed my DAS bike course last Friday after 18 months of pottering about on a YBR125. I'd already part exchanged the YBR for a '99 FZS600, so the pressure to pass was on! What a Friday though - straight home after passing Mod 1 & 2, insurance sorted for the Fazer then slow ride to the garage to swap bikes. And that ride home on my new bike - what a blast! Couldn't resist a quick ride up the A38 - pure joy! :thumbup


Looking forward to finding out what I can do to her with regards maintenance,  small performance improvements, hard or soft panniers for long journeys, the usual boring newb questions


Here she is, haven't had a chance to do a proper photo shoot yet!

Hi all!

I've bought myself an old 1998 FZS600 as a project bike. When I lifted the tank up yesterday I noticed that the breather hoses are missing, and the bits that they'd normally connect to are dry as a bone and quite rusty. Should I be concerned about this?

Also, whilst I'm on a roll  the engine on my bike seems to have suffered the famous engine-paint-flaking problem that I'd read about. Do you guys have any suggestion on the best sort of paint to replace the stuff that's flaked off?

I read somewhere about Hammerite Smooth black paint.. Dunno if this is a silly idea though!
