Hi there people!!


it's come to the point of thinking of letting go of my fazer.


It's just been sat outside since September due to me very, very stupidly loosing my licence for 6 months ( TW@ I knoww )


I'll just run through a few points.

• 2001 yamaha fzs fazer 600
  
• 57,000 miles
  
• currently sorn ( which can be sorted as still insured)
  
• M.O.T literally ran out today but i personally think only a front tyre and she'll fly through.
  
• Renthal bars and dominator headlights.
  
• braided lines
  
• FZS 1000 rear caliper.
  
• Scott oiler
  
• Gold chain
  
• K&N air filter
  
• [size=78%]Done the mod a few weeks back which was on here changing speedo lights to blue.[/size]

Any fazers fancy getting together for a rideout... i live in Saltburn TS12 could do northallerton, thirsk, helmsley, pickering, whitby 

i'm on a fazer 600 foxeye

As winters now over and the salts fooked off (fingers crossed) the metal parts of my fazer are looking abit tarnished and could do with smartening up.

I've been using autosol and abit of elbow grease but it doesnt seem to remove everything.

Is there anything else better on the market for removing all the marks?

Hey all,


Got my new can and link pipe today, tried gelling the standard exhaust off and its stuck like a bugger.. Any tips please for when i wake up sober in the morning to tackle it again and remove the old one.


Thanks

So finally got my bike back together, with new R6 shock (courtesy of Devilsyam) and chain and sprockets. Gotta say, though I've only ridden it in traffic around town, the improvement in handling is immediately obvious. The ride feels firmer without being harsh and choppy, it turns in easier and, for me, gives it a better, more front biased riding position. So good news so far, I'm planning on getting out in the countryside this weekend so it should give me a better idea of how much of an improvement the shock gives. If anyones thinking about upgrading the rear suspension on their bike, give Devilsyam a shout on here, before looking at other more expensive upgrades. The shock kit comes ready to fit, its a straight swap and the finish, very professional.  Even if you do get called muppet!

Hi, I am looking for some advice or to hear of your experiences.

I am fairly new to riding having been on two wheels for just under two years. However I have racked up some 25k miles on all types of road and done 2 days of advanced training. Recently I started taking my 11 year old daughter on the back for sbort trips and we are now planning a trip to scotland in the summer which would be 500 miles each way and of course the bike is my fidst choice. Having done the training days I know I can handle a full day in the saddle but am unsure if my daughter would be able to deal with the reality of it.
Ic we do go on the bike I was planning on splitting the journey across two days and into 90 to 120 sessions with 45 minutes breaks.

Would love to hear your experiences and advice.

Thanks in advance

Are people prepared to buy anything these days?? I couldn't for shame put items up for auction in the condition that these sellers seem to think is ok!!

Example one.

two.
http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/YAMAHA-FZS600-...5d303e0df4

Surely if the seller took 30 mins to give them a scrub someone just might buy them........ Personally in that state i wouldn't touch them with a barge pole!!!

im so pissed off the other day went to the esso station just outside doncaster on the wakey road just after picking fiance from work 1020pm got to forecourt lifted nozzle off then a snotty little kid over tannoy can you take your helmet off, so the nearly new missus with flip lid went upto window with lid up asking why , and the git said for his own safety arrr, then he said we ' both 'had to take are helmet off the previous week i had no problems at that time except the women casheir locked the door which didnt bother me, so fuming wanting to rip the kids head off put nozzel back and went to station a mile up the road with a women casheir who wasent bothered  :lol (but petrol was 3p a liter more
anyone had any problems like this

Help please
I need a touch more height so thinking jack up kit

can they be replaced as in one pair off new ones on or will suspension compress/extend ???really don't want to get into silly problems


I once removed crash bars to paint off a BMW GS only to find they would not go back on because the bolts where holding the engine up had to jack the engine up bit of a panick at the time

thanks in advance
