The speedo/ revcounter display on my FZ6 SA (S1 ABS European model) has been flickering for a while, but now it's almost completely faded out when idling and it flickers at higher speeds.

If I am running eg 70mph, however, the display works almost fine.

I've found a thread on a Turkish site where someone had the same sort of problem and took one apart (see google translate link):

The images aren't there, but they are on a different forum's thread here:

Aparently the whole thing is glued together and they separated the parts with a Dremel (rotary tool) which  don't really want to do if I don't have to!

Does anyone have any suggestions on a better way to get access or am I just going to have to cut it open?

Does anyone know whats the thread on the water temperature sensor? I want to add a water temp gauge and need to make a T adapter to fit both sensors but I don't know the thread size of the original sensor

My FZS600 runs fine if I start on choke and set of on an open road. The choke can go in pretty soon, before I get to the end of our road. I can then pull out into the. Main road, no problem but If I encounter traffic early on then it miss fires on 3rd cylinder and does not recover. Otherwise it is as smooth as you like at all revs, pulling away etc. What's going on?

OK Foccers, we all want to go in deeper and come out harder...but how do u know when ur at or near the limit...?
Do u just keep pushing it until u slide off...or is there some warning signs, skipping/slipping.... :evil ????
am assuming a dry road and good tyres...

Does anyone have these items for sale ? My trusty 600 has been off the road for a couple of years and when I finally managed to get the courage to pull off the covers I found that the the coolant system has been attacked big time by rust, the pipe has rotted through and the fan is stuck fast almost certainly beyond recovery. I think the pipe I need is called pipe 5, its the metal one alongside the radiator that connects to the rubber one at the bottom of the left hand engine case.

any one have a set for sale ??thanks

I'm off to France for a few days on a WWI battlefield tour in a month or so. I've got a set of old Riossi/Carnell/Motorcycle City throw overs but they are well past their best and I could  do with some new uns. Can anyone recommend a set that fits best on a foxeye 600? Also could do wi a new jacket, anyone used the Oxford montreal 3 or Alpinestars andes?

Gents, does anyone have any reccomendations for aftermarket indicators?
Have a look at the pic- I foolishly drove off with the chain still attached between the rear wheel and the givi arm  :o
If I go down the LED route rather than the bulb type, will I need to fit a new flasher relay? Any advice appreciated.
