Hello,
I've been looking at a '02 FZS 600 for sale and I have one doubt. I noticed a slight rattling noise coming from the engine. I believe, but can't say for sure, that it was only present after the engine was warmed up. Together with the owner we went to talk to his mechanic, who said that what we hear is the cam chain, but it is nothing to worry about. The bike did 46000 kilometers and for this reason I also asked the mechanic whether he checked valve clearances, to which he answered that there is no need to do this in this model... I found this quite weird.
So my questions are:
- would you say this mechanic is even trustworthy?
- if the cam chain tensioner would require replacing, is this costly?


Best regards
Maciek

I'm considering buying an FZ1-S after my previous gen gosh smashed. The bike is stock apart from a modded seat (which is the first thing I would have changed), but am I correct in assuming that i may need to get and fit an FCE if the delay at 4500rpm is annoying enough?

Other than the above what else do I need to be aware of regarding this bike before going ahead?

this item was done in the states till 03 then ceased production

i have with the help of long suffering jase390 finally got a sample made

they will be billet and billet finish not black like the stateside photo (you could paint it if you so wished)

I am going to do a limited run as demand is already there stateside

just wondering if there was intrest here

us sample



My version

My current chain and sprockets have done 32k and have finally given up, they are did zvm and renthal, does anyone know a good sites I can get this combination again, or an alternative make that is of similar quality.

Thanks

Woke this morning in Edinburgh to very high winds, first thought is always the bike, never blown over before but so paranoid. Well today my paranoia turned in to a sense of unhappiness, my bike had blown over in the wind. The news said there was gusts clocked at 102mph in Edinburgh.

After doing a search online I have found that givi do not list a fitting kit for a pannier set (hard cases) so has anyone managed to fit a kit to their bikes? I have a fj1200 fitting kit along with a vfr750 fitting kit and some parts of a Kawasaki kit but are there any reasons why I should not fit the kit,ie fitting issues,I don't want to go down the route of soft throw overs as one the don't hold enough and two I want some security!my bike is a 2001 model

Just wondering if anyone has seen or knows of a stacked aftermarket exhaust, like the Ducati S2R or Aprilia RS250?


I want to do something a bit different and thought that might look pretty smart, just missed out on a laser xtreme R6 exhaust by £2!!!  :'( If anyone knows of one of one of those for sale as well!!
