and no it didnt cost a fortune to do





for those who need to know cb1000rr arm r6 shock vfr800 rear wheel

Returned to the motorcycle bay last night after work and found that some joker had put a cable lock through my front wheel. Why someone should do this is a mystery and thinking about it, just a little bit sinister. Fortunately, despite it being a quarter inch thick cable I managed to borrow a hacksaw from a nearby building site and cut it off in about 5 minutes. No damage to the bike and no sign of other tampering.

Is this a new form of vandalism or anti-motorcycle antic? Has anyone else heard of this happening?
Ferkin mad or what?

Hello!
I've owned my 2001 FZS 600 for 5 years, I bought it with 20k miles and I've put a further 8k on it with annual servicing. I've had no problems with the bike. (I go fairly easy on her)

I am planning a trip to the Alps in June, which will involve a long motorway ride from Cherbourg to Northern French Alps and back and 7 days of Alpine Pass riding! All with full pannier set.

Should I be concerned about breakdowns/problems given the age / mileage of my bike?

Any precautions I should take when getting it serviced before I go? (eg clutch?)

Any input would be much apprechiated. Thanks.

if its been said im sorry,
but do thundercat ignition advancers fit straight on fzs no trouble?
if so shouldn't a k & n airfilter full exhaust system and ignition advancer sort the fazers midrange ?
anyway if anyone knows if it will fit then great can you let me know lmao i have a spare fzs engine practice on anyway
thanks
mike

Just a suggestion, but would it be possible to put what city/town/area members live, on the section where their names are? Just would be good to see where ppl live and in doing so find out if there are other members in your own area. I've just discovered that there are several live near me and we have arranged a meet up. Or is this already accesible and I'm just being thick?

sorry forgot to mention when i start the bike from cold i have a ticking sound anybody think it could be cam chain it has 20,000 miles on clock and is a 1999 model if so are they easy to do thank you very much,

Hello every body,very pleased with my 1999 fazer 600 had the 04 but didnt like it preffure the older one only bought it a week ago but just found out chain and sprocket needs changing took the studs out of the front sprocket cover but the cover wouldnt come of dont know if there is an hidden bolt some were,can any body tell me if they are easy to change dont fancy bike shop prices,thank you all ones again brian south wales uk.

worth a ride out, if you are that way, we have a stand somewhere in the main hall, but they have moved, us so not too sure where we are

New chain and sprockets arrived today, including a 47 tooth rear, just waiting for my shock to arrive and then bang it all on and hey presto! Instant new bike (sort of), just in time for the silly season .  On another point, a few people have mentioned that, after fitting Devilsyam's R6 shock kit, they noticed their bikes have more of a tendancy to wheelie, is this correct?

Started to notice that when I fire up my FZ1 from cold and let it idle, it starts sounding really lumpy and the revs swing from below 1k to above 1k and it generally sounds a little bit rough.

Once it's warm, idle is smooth and fine. Any ideas what it could be or do they all do that when cold?

It's got PC3, Ivans FCE, flies mod...dunno if that's relevant!?!
