Looking at replacing the original Exhaust system headers/downpipes on my Fazer.
There are a couple of offerings, comparing Black Widow and Delkevic.

The 4 into 1 connecting pipe is a different design from each, which caught my attention.
With the Delkevic appearing a much more seamless, flowing, plus cosmetically pleasing design.

Interested to hear from anyone with either of these exhaust systems, concerning build quality, finish, etc?
Or are there other products out there worth considering?

Until I decide, will be applying WD40 liberally to the header bolts, to hopefully make the job as eventLESS as possible (want no snapping header bolts).  :eek

Hey Guys,


I opened the exup valve cover to inspect it and it looks like some parts are missing there. Does anybody have a diagram with all the necessary parts related to exup valve operation and maybe a place online I can get those? I am not able to tell what is missing at this stage but should be able to figure it out once I see a technical spec


Thanks
Paul

I took the plunge and bought the first TFT dash from Danny.

Here is what I found:

Hardware

• The TFT screen and bezel has a decent build quality.
  
• It was extremely easy to fit (three bolts and plug, find a place for the two button control and thermo sensor); it was especially easy for me as my bike is a streetfighter and has no fairing.
  
• I mounted the two button control on the rearward side of the brake fluid reservoir with the supplied 3M double sided sticky patch, it looks like it's meant to be there.
  
• I mounted the thermo sensor on the bottom edge of the screen bezel as I have no fairing.
  

• As Danny says, it is plug and play, the only thing you need to do before use is set the mileage on the odometer.
  
• The display is clear and easy to read with the option of several colour themes (my favourite is the yellow on black).
  
• The menu is easy to access and operate with the two button control.
  
• There are some minor software tweaks required (gear indicator not always displaying the correct gear). Danny is currently working on this and an update should be available shortly.

After taking a fair bit of stick off the media and some who should know better,Scott Redding took the BSB title in his rooky year."wait 'till he gets to Cadwell and Knockhill,Oulton Park,etc he won't know what's happening" and other such remarks,well when he did get to these places he not only didn't make a fool of himself he won and was on the rostrum at them! and when he came to curcuits he'd been,Assen,Donington etc he showed his class and won convincingly and this was on different tyres and no trick electrics,all stuff he'd have to get used to after Moto GP.A lot of people would have liked to see him come unstuck but he didn't and deserved the title,he was the best rider in the championship and I really think he'll do well in WSB. :thumbup

I'm not sure if I'm imaging it or not but the lights on my clocks now appear quite dim.  Same for the odometer display. 


She doesn't get used in the dark during the summer so it's not like I've noticed it before.  Given I only bought the bike in Feb and used it rarely in the dark there's a good chance they've always been like it.


Does anybody else think that the display is on the dim side?

Help! I need the metal oil pipe that runs from the crankcase next to the oil filter to the cylinder head for my 98 Fazer 600 . Any help gratefully recieved 

I tried to put up with the ongoing cold start problems I’ve posted about before with the view that maybe it’s normal behaviour.
However, even if I left it idling for a couple of minutes it would still bog down really badly when I tried to drive off.
As we live off a busy junction it was getting dangerous trying to merge with traffic when the bike would just lose power when I let the clutch out and put the engine under some load.
When I did manage to coax it into moving It would be OK after a quarter of a mile or so.
From then on it pulls ok and idles with no issues.
So, I’ve decided that there is still something wrong with the carbs.
This time i decided that if I’ve got to whip them out again I also want to fit Ivan’s kit.
So The carbs are off the bike but before I fit Ivan’s kit I wondered if someone could offer advice on what I should look for in the cold start circuit.
All the plungers are moving and from the outside everything seems ok.
