Just MOT'd today.....Pass with no advisories...

But I watched the guy test the bike and he did comment on some play in the rear suspension. I recall a thread on the old site about re-torquing the suspension linkages on the sidestand to cure this.
I wonder if putting on the R6 shock and torquing on the centre stand (which I did a month or so ago) could be the difference as no play was noted last year at the MOT.

Hi there,

Running out of space so I have quite a few parts for sale, thought I'd offer them here before Ebay. All the parts are for 98~01 models (i.e. square eyes) but some parts are interchangeable with the 03+ models. Prices are reasonable, I'm happy to sell these parts for less than the usual prices on ebay. If you're interested or want photos/details, just drop me a line and we'll take it from there. See list below.


Thanks,

Claude

both of my side panels were covered in light scratches,so i bought some halfords bumper paint,it does not need rubbing down and does not need primer,i sprayed both of mine and apart from one frip they both look good and the finish is satin

in this pic you can see the drip but otherwise it looks good,shame about the rust on the frame though

just seen on you tube a couple of fz6 having there normal exhaust cans being drilled with 22mm drill bits to make them sound more sporty  :rolleyes
if i do this will i have to get the bike dyno or will it be safe??

fitting the hand guards took me 30 mins a side, they both need trimmed on the under side, the bar ends need enlarged with a drimmel & then a hear gun just to finnish off, we did a 1000 miles round scotland in 4 days last year, it rained all the time, i can honestly say they saved the day.

Why are our political elite suddenly so fond of a pasty?


(this one should get you going)  :rolleyes

Is anyone going to this ?

Has anyone fitted BMW / KTM type handguards to their Fazer? I've heard V Strom ones fit but I'd like clarification if poss, any ideas, Thanks Dave

Friend of mine has a blue 2001 Gen1 Thou' for sale. I haven't seen it in the flesh but he tells me it is absolutely mint. I have seen pictures which seem to back this up. The idiot bought it and rode it once. Questions obviously need to be asked about his sanity, but it has 5k miles on from new. A local dealer has offered him peanuts but I think he would let it go for very reasonable money. I don't want to talk figures here because frankly that's his (and whoever may decide to buy it) business.
Anyone interested, please text me your details on 07801 949620 and I will put you in touch with him. He's in the Milton Keynes area.
Thanks,
Steve.

Not only did she do it in the kitchen but next to a cooker that was turned on !!!
