Posted by: Enceladus - 26-05-12, 08:02 PM - Forum: FZS600 Fazer - Replies (19)

i'm not sure when my bike last had an oil change so i'm planning to give it a treat in the near future Smile
does the fazer come with a magnetic sump plug as standard ?
if not, are they a good thing to have ?
also,
i assume i can't just put some castrol gtx in that i use for the car !
what is a good oil to use ?
whilst i'm at it i might as well replace the filter as well.
what is a good make filter please ?
thanks for your help Big Grin

discovered this by accident a few weeks ago, and only remembered to share today whilst washing my "baby" !
to avoid water marks after washing, put some dishwasher rinse aid in the water !
no need to dry off after washing Smile
job done Big Grin

  Lifesaver ! ! !
Posted by: fz6novice - 26-05-12, 06:52 PM - Forum: General - Replies (16)

Had quite the eventful ride today hoping to take my fz6 on a tour of North Wales only got as far as Warrington on the M6. My trusty Caberg 407 lid kept lifting its visor every time I did a lifesaver just as well I had my internal sun visor down. Decided enough was enough at Warrington and limped home on the A49 at a more sedate speed with no problems. The joys of the open road eh ?

Just changed my pads to EBC bedding them in at the moment i noticed they do rub a touch (it will still rotate 1 turn easy) then do get hot after riding and when i brake at high speeds i do feel some slight vibration through the handle bars.

is this normal until the pads break in?

My DD has the chance of sharing a flat for her college days and we are being told we need to sign as guarantor for her. That's fine. What worries me is the terms 'joint and several' in the tenancy agreement. That means if any of the three occupants fail to keep up with the rent we can be liable for it all. The estate agency says that all the tenancies are done this way!
Happy (ish) to be guarantor for DD but for others as well?
Suggestions please.... :grumble

  Hello again !!
Posted by: baggy - 26-05-12, 03:48 PM - Forum: Introduction - Replies (4)

Hello

I was a member on the old site back between 2003-2007.

I have had 5 different bikes since 2007, most recently a CBR600F sport which I have had for 9 months now and I love riding it but the Mrs isnt comfortable on the back. I enjoy my rides out with her and I don't want her to start not wanting to come out so I asked her out of the bikes we have owned what did she like? She replied "The best bike from my point of views was the 03 plate Fazer 1000 you had about 5 years ago"

I had a look around and saw a 56 plate for sale near by at a local dealers with only 11.5k miles on it.

I went to chat to them today and it will be ready for me to pick up next week with two new tyres, new MOT, serviced an 2nd meta alarm fob. They are going to fit the pillion pegs back on and it has the original exhaust and pillion seat also with it.

I will miss my CBR but I cant wait until next Saturday  Big Grin
