hey lads removed my rear wheel today to do some cleaning lubricating etc... but with such excitement to be in the shed    I pulled out my chain adjusters from the swingarm not noting what way they came out. I know my left and right. I put them back in as the attached pic shows. hoping someone can tell me if I’m correct or not cheers

OK, so I've ordered new caps to go on the swingarm but the pivot outer was really scored and pitted on one end - it was gonna chew up the new oil seal in minutes. So I smoothed it with some sand screen (like emery cloth) but it's still not good - see photo. Is there a product I could use to fill this? I was thinking of just using body filler but I don't know if that will work well with the grease and the oil seal rubbing across it. The swingarm is aluminium so it needs to be approximately as soft as aluminium. But it's only a surface for the oil (grease) seal to seal against so it's not super-critical. I just want to get a good seal, basically. Any ideas?


Cheers

hows things lads/ladies been away from bikes for a few years but recently picked up an 03 blue 600 fazer. Great do it all bike needs some tidying so I’ll be looking for some advise from yourselfs ???

Hi, can anyone help me with the wiring for the coils please? My bike has been in bits for a while and I am struggling to find which wires go to which coil. There are two red/black wires, a grey, and an orange, but I cant see in the Haynes or the Yamaha manual any information on which of the grey or Orange go to the 1-4 and 2-3 coils.

I thought I'd have the rear end out for a once-over while I was fitting a new chain and sprockets - I was expecting to find that it might need a bit of a re-grease. What I found was the swingarm spacer seized solid with corrosion (2001 bike). So solid that was actually difficult to knock the spacer out. The photo shows the worst affected end which I'm guessing was the left-hand side - I'm guessing that it was sitting in water when the bike was leant over on the side-stand.


The bearings were a nightmare to get out - I put a chisel on them but the chisel was wrecked and the bearing was entirely unmarked. But I found that the spacer itself made the best drift to knock them out with.


So if your bike's got wet much you might wanna have a little look see. New spacer, bearings and cover caps about £170 from Fowlers.

Haynes says the grease seals on the rear suspension linkage should always be replaced - anyone know where I can get a set??

Hi to all,


I want to find out if anyone knows how to convert the fzs 2003 to a reverse shift pattern?
The linkage runs a convoluted pattern through the frame?


I ride a track bike and sports bike with this pattern which I find more natural hence reason.


Does anyone know of a solution. Would be greatly appreciated

Does anyone else think we were robbed of what could have been one of the finest GP's when Lorenzo skittled the front runners? or would the relentless Marquez still have done the business? :z
