I stupidly removed head gasket without checking which way it goes back on. I have of course got replacement but noticed it is not quite symetrical.
If you lay gasket down as if looking forward on the bike there is a little tab just off front close to centre. Looks like it is for another engine model as well (thundercat maybe). But when looking forward should it be to the left or the right? Help!

Also need fixing kit as well

Cheers

Hi All,  Still have my '99 FZS and maybe I always will,Why not?
With all the great advice here it should go forever.

Just bought a replacement Yuasa YTZ14S for my FZ1-S. Charged it o/night and fitted it today - electrics are dead as a dodo, yet were working when I removed the old battery a few days ago. Now I've noticed that with the battery sat in it's proper place in the bike the positive terminal is on the LEFT of the bike and the negative terminal on the RIGHT, not the other way around as specified in the owner's manual. Therefore the red lead has to be attached to the negative terminal of the battery and the black to the positive - surely wrong!! . If I turn the battery around in it's cradle, then the leads just won't reach the terminals. The new battery is exactly the same as the old one.
What the f### is going on here??
Could other members check their own bikes and let me know if I'm being a p###k?

Cheers lads and lasses!

Hi,

hopefully you can help me. I have a SELCA MT-8 alarm, which has just given up the ghost. I got it fitted when I bought my FZS600 new in 2002. It has worked perfectly ever since until last week when it just stopped. I want to remove it and have successfully bypassed the ignition so that it fires, however it will not start as I don't seem to be able to bypass the immobiliser. Would anyone have any schematics so that I can wire up the correct wires? I had a look on the abacusalarms.co.uk site but they only have the 1998 schematics and the wiring was a bit different on the 2002 model.

Any help greatly appreciated.

Hello All,
Just a quick Hiya, I,ve just become the proud owner of a a lovely 54 plate Fazer 1000 and was told about this site by my other halfs boss 

Whatever did happen to the travellers?

I've done the headlight mod on my boxeye and am concerned that I might be dazzling people. Is there anything I can do to the alignment or should not bother and be glad I'll be more visible?
