Hi,
I'm looking for a foxeye 600 genuine yam bellypan please.
Prefer the item to be in the blue colour but a black one would be acceptable  :evil


Must come complete with the fitting kit
Thanks Simon

Hello Foccers,
It's sillysimon here but under  a different username as for some reason it didn't let me use my old one  :'(


Hope some of the riffraff are still here  :b
Cheers

I just swapped my standard FZ1 bars for Renthal 758s with the intension of fitting bar-end mirrors (which I have already bought). I've chopped about 50mm off each side of the 758s, drilled and fitted them along with all the switchgear etc.; perfect fit.

I went to fit the bar-end mirrors (they are the expanding clamp type and insert into the end of the handlebar), however there is an insert in the bar (recessed by about 25mm) that is preventing the clamps from being fully inserted into the bars. If I hadn't have chopped off 50mm, there wouldn't have been an issue. The insert looks like plastic tubing. I'm not sure what the purpose is and is it safe to bore this out 25mm so I can get the clamp in?

Thoughts anyone?

Sold.

Hi, joined forum hoping to get lots of tips and info.
Just sold my 2016 66 plate Tracer 700 and bought a late 2003 FZ6s injection model. Started riding 56 years ago, touring days are over so now the real fun begins.

Hello all,

After 18 months of (almost) flawless service, my FZS600 has decided to start impersonating my old Suzuki.

On the way home from work on Wednesday last week, while going up a hill, the engine just cut out with no warning, wasn't even trying to fire. After pulling over onto the pavement and turning it off/on a couple of times, it still wouldn't restart. After a couple of minutes of me taking my gear off I gave it another try, and it immediately fired on the first spin.

Fast forward to tonight, and it packed in not too far from home, same as before. Rode it down probably from 70ish to 20ish in gear, no life from the engine at all. Pushed it on a bit, still wouldn't start, pushed it on a bit more, still wouldn't start... until I was in sight of home.

There was no smell of fuel when cranking either time, and it didn't start with an almighty backfire like other times I've flooded in the past, so I'm inclined to believe its a fuel issue. Both times the fuel pump was silent for all the starting attempts, so I don't think it temporarily ran dry or was struggling to prime or anything like that.

Is there anything near the carbs that can shut off the fuel supply to all 4 cylinders, or am I barking up the wrong tree? Any other likely suspects?

Thanks

OK, the saga of the exup continues. I won't bore you with the details, but the selling dealer is saying that as it has a Deklevic an already, it'll run fine with Delklevic headers with no exup. My workshop says that's crap. What say you lot?

Just picked up a 2004 Fazer 1000 yesterday. Has many of the popular mods and goes very well. Bought it as a second bike. I have a Moto Guzzi Breva 1100 and absolutely love it. Gorgeous, 'living' engine. Had a bit of spare cash a[size=78%]nd decided to get something different, though both are basically all-rounders. Before the Guzzi, I had a VFR800 - love V4s, my first ever bike was an early VF. Before that, I wore out a nicely modified FJ1200. [/size]
