I was riding home from my euro trip the other day through Winsford in Cheshire when set back from the road in a well to do area l spotted a red phone box. Nothing unusual about that you think  :rolleyes well take a look at the pic attached (if l've uploaded it right). Bring a whole new meaning to looking for information, plenty of that in there but no actual phone !  :rollin

Over the years, I've learned that every forum has an argumentative know it all. 

:lol  Does this one?  :lol

I've noticed on a few parts/accessory sites that they differentiate between 01-03 and 04-05 FZS1000's.  Why?

I changed my oil and filter yesterday and I thought I'd check the pilot air screws (2 1/2 turns out "03" model) the outer ones aren't to bad and the LHS inner one is awkward but does anyone have any good tips on how to get to the inner RHS one?

Cheers Andy

Hi,
New to the forum.

I want to put myself of the map, but can't seem to get it to work. Can someone please help.

Hi,

I just picked up a very tidy FZS600, in red/black/white from 2002. Its the least rare bike I have ever owned, and I am really enjoying it!

I live in Pau, in the south of France. So if you are ever in the area and in need of a cup of tea give me a shout.

Cheers

Stephen

I'm new to bike mechanics, so am looking for some advice.

I've not ridden for a number of years and have had my Fazer for a couple of weeks now. To me it appears that the back brake is weak, and from reading on here out might have a sticky piston.

I want to know how I can confirm this, without having to strip it down too much. I need the bike to be useable, so can't take things apart unless I have the parts to put back again. If it's knackered and I need seals, pistons etc. I'd rather keep the money and put it toward a blue spot caliper.

Also, what's the average price for the caliper these days?

i'm after a silver slotted clutch cable adjuster nut that threads into the handle mount, original and unmodified. can anyone help?

Several times this evening I've had a 500 Internal Server Error whilst trying to read posts or reply to them on here.

Anyone else had problems?

A30 in Staines, on a roundabout. Somehow a moron tried to merge into my lane and clipped the back of my bike. Stayed upright and all he managed to do was smash half the number plate off, but I managed to put a decent ding in his passenger door with my shiny new Daytonas (No holes!). Cunt drove off without checking to see if he'd killed me. Had a bunch of Jesus fish on the back as well.


Got stopped by a plod once, but he was pretty understanding. There is an upside though, no plate meant I could blast along the south circular at 50...
