Hello all,
Newbie from the emerald isle. Managed to crawl out from under the rock that is the irish economy and scrape the price of a 2000 Fazer 600 to get me back on the road after losing me 2 bikes 3 years ago. This place looks full of good info so I'm off to have a root around.
Cheers Colly

hi does anyone have this problem no matter how much i adjust the clutch cable when i release the clutch lever there is always have to push it back 1-2 mm to its stop
does it need a new cable, clutch, return spring??

Greetings Gentlemens!
Today i`ve been changing sprockets and chain and realize that spring on the drive sprocket cover is broken... Where can i buy it and may be u can help me to find a part number for this spring.

I was out on my bike and came across coppers and ambulance near Filingdale,
I notice a Fazer 1000 on its side,a grey coloured one.
don't know what had happened as the was no car's involve.
it appears to me he was either doing a wheely going up the bank or simply going to fast and lost control.
it amazes me after a winter lay off.
they seem to think they can just jump on the bike and carry on where they left off biking last year.I always take it easy for a couple of rides out and familiarise with my bike.
anyway I hope the guy is ok.

Hi,
looking at the photo competition I can see there are some pretty good photographers on here
(flattery over, advice needed)  :lol

I'm looking for a new camera to take on a 6 month jaunt round New Zealand in September.
My mother and brother have agreed to buy me one for my birthday, at around £150.
I'm looking at this type of thing:
http://www.amazon.co.uk/Fujifilm-FinePix...ce_title_1
because I like the look of the ridiculous zoom on it.

Can someone that knows what all those little numbers and letters mean have a little look over it and let me know if there's any standout reason why I shouldn't get it please

Is it worth waiting (birthday isn't until early August) for other cameras to come down in price?

Any other recommendations within the price range?

Many thanks

Tom

I've been meaning to mention this for a while. I noticed a hole in my Motad stainless downpipes after about 6 months use so contacted Motad. The first guy I spoke to wanted the old pipes back for repair, which I thought was reasonable, but he went on holiday. The person who took over sent me out a new set without getting the old ones back, so I could stay on the road, and arranged for the old set to be collected at a time convenient for me. They even supplied replacement gaskets.

I was taken aback by how quickly and professionally they resolved it, it was all sorted in about 2 weeks and I didn't even have to chase them up or argue my case.

Very refreshing and will definitely use them in the future 

It was my late fathers birthday on sunday so we went down to the Isle of wight to visit my mum and sister

while we were there we visited a local bike show at newport !
here's a few pics from the show !


It was packed very busy and the bikes where all so closed to each other it was impossible to get any really good pictures but i did the best i could

Hi,
Another electricity related question...
I've read in my haynes manual (and on here) that my voltage across the battery terminals at 5000rpm should be about 14.5v
It's only 13.5v I've checked all the wires and connections that I can see.
Using the guide in the Haynes manual, I've tested the alternator and the resistance is slightly higher than it should be across all the connections but that's the only issue I could see. Would this account for the lower voltage?
My fazer is the 04 one, so lights are on with the engine, would this drop the voltage to 13.5v?

Thanks everyone, google hasn't thrown up anything, I reckon this site's saved me a good amount of money (and blood pressure)

Guys I am in need of some help. I have a FZS600 which will shortly be going. Got the option of an 05 FZS1000 fazer or a FZ1 but can't make my mind up on which one to choose  :'(
