Hi
Just wondering if anybody knows of good replacement mirrors for 98 fzs as I can't see a bloody thing behind me. Also am I able to replace them with mirrors from a later model or are they model specific? 
Thanks for your help

Quick question: does anyone here have any knowledge of "Traxxion Dynamics Axxion" fork internals? I'm looking to get my forks redone, probably with K-Tech but am looking at other systems also. The claim is "..these are a piston and shim stack design which work with a digressive action"
Sadly I've no idea what any of that means... Just wondered if anyone here was cleverer than me in the suspension dept could shed some light?

Cheers!

Our lovely friends across the sea have changed the laws for anyone visiting that you must by law carry a breathalyser kit.
From 1st July 2012 all drivers visiting France will need to carry a breathalyser kit in their cars, as French drivers will have to and from November 2012 there will be an €11 fine for non compliance.
Strangely they will be available at ferry and tunnel terminals for crossings to France.

Hi All.
So I've just been for a pootle back from Southport, gave a lad who works for me a lift home, been riding back, nothing silly as there has been a lot of traffic being evening. Into a slow, first gear left hander at the roundabout, go for second and CCCCRRRRUUUUNNCCCH.... Gear lever feels a little wooly, tries to go for second again, crunch, engage then jump out... Thinking it's me being a gonk, I go for first, it engages, into second and it engages then jumps out. Hmmmmm

Manage to get the gears to engage, riding along, pulling up to a set of lights and it jumps out of second. Gear lever feels like it's not returning from the up shift, and now feels VERY notchy altogether. The scenario has happened a few times now, where it is very notchy, and jumps out of second.

Fortunately, I bought the bike three weeks ago from a local Yam Dealer, and the bike has 3 months warranty.

Please could any of the more mechanically minded Foccers advise if this is a well known fault on the thou, I know the 600 was well known for jumping out of first if you gave it some welly, but I wonder if you could cast some light on the (endless) possibilities?

Cheers in advance for any advice offered.

Have a few bits that were lying around up for sale.

1. Headlight to fit square eye Fazers. Good condition, pretty clean inside but small area just above bulb of dipped beam reflector peeling, see photo. Can barely see it when fitted to bike & I didn't notice change in beam. Incl bulbs. £50 + P&P
   
2. Brand New front fairing/ headlight bracket. Comes in original Yamaha bag, 100% straight, never used. Fits square eye Fazers. £70 + P&P
   
3. Lowered seat. Good condition, lowered quite a bit. £50 + P&P
   
4. Seat cover. Average condition, holes in lower edge where it has been put on floor, otherwise looks ok. £5 + P&P

Hi guys, I'm new to the site & you lot were recommended to me. I'm a midwife living in South Wales and I've got 2003, FZS600 Fazer; not been riding long, passed test in November and unfortunately had a crash last week!! Front end damage - top fairing, headlight unit, brackets & front mudguard. Got most of the parts (nearly) and was hoping to get advice about where I can get a replacement headlight unit. All help greatly received, thanks xx

Hi

Just changing the rad coolant....the yamaha manual says ' ethylene glycol' but all i can seem to find is something else called 'ethandeiol' spelling or similar.

This was in the local B.P.Garage and in Morrisons , the latter being 'blue star' pre-mixed.

is any of this stuff any good does anyone know as i don't want to buy it and find i should not be using it?

Thanks
