So I noticed today that my brake light was constantly on. Gave a wiggle to the rear brake switch and out it went, thought I would fix it later as late for work.
Got to work and it was permanently on again so gave the mount a wiggle again and it didn't go out. Sprayed a load of WD40 as I  thought it might be sticking and pulled the rubber boot off and sprayed load in there as well. Thats when the smoke appeared!! Disconnected it for the return home.
So does it just need a good clean, the clips look reasonable, or should I just replace it? The plunger moves fine with the pedal, but if it smoking is something shorting


Also if I wanted to change the piston seals on the rear calliper, do I need to split the calliper itself, or can it be done whole?


Cheers
Nick

Started it at the end of March, just got to find a nice old table and a sofa. Chuffed with it.

Hi All, just dipping my toe in the water to see what is about.


Is anyone selling am FZS 600 Fox eye?  Preferably red, or yellow.  Blue owners need not reply, I couldn't stand the ribbing off the LOFOs  :rollin 


I should add, I'm in Kent, I'm willing to travel a bit but places like Scotland and Cornwall could be too far  :b


Cheers in advance.

I think I read on here some time ago that some one had found a plastic plumbing pipe glue that worked on fairings and other bike plastics but I can't find the post does any one remember what it was called.

Well finally got my new bike this morning.

i need to change my sump pan on my 51 plate fzs,  seen one at a breakers online and  it came off a 2000 plated fzs, is there any difference in sump pans between 2000 and 2001? i doubt it but im no expert?  TIA

Was on my FZS600, will upload pic when i can, was bought from Kebab19 and had no issues with it at all.


Have the shims, but not sure i have the dog bones still looking for them.


Had a spring put on for me and a shim, as spring was a tad short, all that of course can be changed.


Anyone interested.

hi all anyone know the paint code for a 2003 Fazer 600 it’s the red colour possibly called vivid red, or where could I find the info possibly it may be on the data badge?

[size=1em]Hi Guys[/size]

[size=1em]So this Summer I fitted my new Delkevic full exhaust and today the K&N air filter arrived along with a Colortune! (American spelling of colour of course  :b )[/size]

[size=1em]Whilst the tank was off to fit the new air filter I figured I'd re-balance the carbs and hook up the Colortune. As for balancing I'm pretty sure I've got some air getting in at the connection points on the boots for the Vaccuum gauges. I have cheap Chinese boots and the balance gauge connection posts can easily be pulled out. But I digress.[/size]

[size=1em]I connected the colortune reasonably easily, fired it up and I couldn't see anything at all. Maybe my idle is too high or it was too bright out but it was a pretty dull and overcast day so I don't really know what's up. All the videos online seem to show a really clear burn on the colortune. Whats more, the colortune kept arcing to the head, this didn't seem too safe so I took a quick video, put the nromal plug back in and decied to retreat to ask you all once again for your sage advice.[/size]

[size=1em]I tried with the 45 degree mirror attachment thing but that didn't help either.[/size]

[size=1em]I have noticed before, when I was removing plug caps with the engine running, that it was very easy to receive a shock through the HT leads. Is this normal? surely it's all well insulated?[/size]

[size=1em]Also a couple of pics of my spark plugs directly after removing if the FOC-u gurus wouldn't mind casting your eyes over them. This is after warming up, in neutral only, going up to around 3500 revs.[/size]

evening all... 8)


been a biker for 1000's of years... :rolleyes ....have a blackbird with gravel rash...(winter project)
so to tide me over I bought a15k mile 04 F1, not knowing anything about them other than they were top of the recommendation list
compiled by friends..I'm pleasantly surprised.........it goes like stink...complete lunatic over 7k revs.
now I'm use to going like stink because the blackbird goes like stink but I suspect the F1 would be a little quicker to 100
before the xx took over all the way up to 180.. :eek ... think by now you may be getting a clue as to my user name  :evil


thing is.. I don't know anyone else with an F1 so..if anyone would like to meet up sometime for a blast.. preferable over wales way
let me know and well sort out a meeting place..


looking forward to membership


regards
geriatric lunatic
