Well, the Stain magic works, granted my headers where not bad, but had brown marks & the light straw tempering colour at the mouths which means the temperature got to 220/230C.
‘Feckin’ camera was discharged & got impatient so I started with the radiator on before taking any ‘pics.’  As I couldn’t reach the pipes higher up I took off the radiator…..result.
Took appox 3 hours of elbow grease with a final polish with P21s.
Have to say, not bad.

Hi all, im doing some modifications to my fazer  and im planning on replacing the airbox with individual cone filters, my only problem is i noticed you have to remove the engine to get rid of the airbox!  :eek

Im very confident that if i were to do that most of the bolts etc. would snap.

Is there any other way except taking a saw to it, to remove the airbox????

help!!

anyone thought of a feasible method of ram air for the fzs 600 ?
have they anyone successfully completed this ?

anyone know the standard rear sprocket size and if so anyone used more or less teeth on the rear if so hows performance effected.
btw i do alot of motorway miles and high speed riding/filtering
thanks
mike

after spraying them for a week one seemed to snap off at the bolt still  :o will i be ok leaving it? i cant feel any leaks as such

Got another new, secondhand, 02-03 Fazer. Really clean bike but previous owner let some things go a bit that Im trying to sort. Rotten downpipes - luckily a fellow Foccer had a set of SS. Brakes sloppy - gonna get taken apart and serviced and braided hoses. Dunlop Sportmax tyres. Plenty of tread. Must have been on for years. Felt like they were made outta mahogany! - new BT023. These are the best tyres by a margin I've ever used. I have a TomTom that I put on to ride it 100 miles home after buying it. I noticed the speedo is a lot out compared to satnav. 30 on satnav 35 speedo, 60 satnav 70 speedo, 75 satnav 90 speedo. Anybody ever came across this? This is 4th 02-03 I've had and none of the others were this far out. Any solutions? Thanks.

I fancy fiddling with my suspension to try and get it better suited to me. I have no particular gripes about the current setup but am aware that out of the box it'll be setup to cover the middle ground of riders/rider style etc.

So, are there any suspension gurus in here that talk of pre-load, compression and rebound with an aged wisdom that will be able to help me conquer the dark art?

I'm about 80kgs, use the bike for ride out's only so generally like it a little responsive but at the same time I don't want to be crashing over every bump in the road so not much to work on I know but any suggestions are welcome.

It's an '07 FZ1-S by the way 

hi all,..its dell

Rather than do the usual act in haste repent at leisure.....I am going self employed and need to do the following
Business plan
Speak to the Bank
Registration (will not need VAT year 1 at least I dont think so at this point)
Get an accountant
Let tax office know and apply for CIS status
Insurances
Website
Printing
Premises - from home initially but I have an eye on a unit which I can probably get v cheap (owned by family friend)
So I am looking for those on here with their own small businesses
I am setting up on a shoestring and can't afford costly mistakes.
I know quite a bit however never too old to learn so any advice, tips or tricks would be appreciated..
