Howdy, just joined the forum and initialy am interested in gaining experience in FZS 600 mechanical servicing, repair etc.
Living in Cornwallshire and enjoy buzzing around whenever I can, which is quite often now I have retired.
Will trawl the forum to see what's doing.

Is it worth getting the clutch adjusted by Yamaha? Gear changes arnt as smooth as i expect, yeah i know first clunks into second mine clunks from 2nd to 3rd and smooth from there on.

The biting points in the correct place, any ideas on pricing aswell?

cheers

Another boiler question...

Mine has just gone pop, potentially permanently, what are the good makes for replacement? I seem to recall Worcester Bosch being mentioned a fair bit, any others?

Looks like my fork seals have finally given up so I've got plenty to do at weekend now.

I've read pointer2nulls guide on the old site, is there anything else I should look out for that isn't mentioned?

I know I need these parts:

dust seal x2
oil seal x2
retaining clip x2
inner bush x2
outer bush x2
fork oil x1 L

I'm thinking of doing the bushes at the same time but am having trouble sourcing some. Does anyone know where I can get some individually or as part of an overhaul kit with all the other seals?

Time to once again show off my computer skills and knowledge of tech talk  :rolleyes
When you look at the users online, what are spiders ?

While on the users online subject, why can't the online users names be placed below all the links at the top of the page (like the old site) so you can see who is online while you are.

Hi all,
What are your views on baglux/bagster tank covers. Are they best removed when you wash your bike? are they bad for holding moisture in ?
Looks ?
My bike is a black FZ1N.
Is there anything else you would recommend for tank protection ?

Thanks in advance to any advice given,
Russ

My steel bar ends were scuffed and rusty and I fancied a bit tasteful bling. However some nice polished aluminium or stainless bar ends seemed a bit pricey. Found these polished aluminium items. Ordered from an American company and arrived via Taiwan!

About £13 including postage, fitted straight on.

Hi all is their a way to measure float height with carbs apart or is it a case of measure as per manual guess how far to move float and reassemble and hope its right hope that makes sense.

hello all

my clutch has not been right since i've had this bike. i adjusted the cable (at 21k) and this improved matters no end but last time out on the bike i had to hold the lever right to the bar to keep the bike still while in gear. only half a mil out and the bike started creeping forward. bike has 22k on the clock.

having read up on here it seems several others have been along this road and there's a plug in the main clutch shaft that comes out and needs putting back in. towards this i removed the outer casing, springs, outer plate and all the inner plates today. i have not found a plug loose inside however.

i've never been inside a bike clutch before so my questions might be basic...

is this the plug that i'm looking for - in the end of the shaft in its correct place? (red arrowed)



or do i have to remove more parts?

my haynes manual tells me that i have a lot of measuring to do now, any recommendations for a cheap but good vernier caliper?

work is a bit thin on the ground right now so i don't have any spare money to pay anyone for this, hence diving in myself into what, for me, is uncharted waters.
