I want to fit my Scottoiler but unsure where to mount the reservoir, anyone done this and got photos please!

[color=rgb(24, 36, 48)]Hi all, I’ve got an issue that needs to be fixed ASAP![/color]
[color=rgb(24, 36, 48)][size=78%][/size][/color]
[color=rgb(24, 36, 48)][/size][size=78%][/size]I’m a bit stumped by this issue. This being that about 80% of the time to go upward from 2nd gear I have do repeatedly push the gear lever up until it goes in. Whilst I’m pushing it feels like I’m at the highest gear and it doesn’t allow me to go any higher. Can’t force it either. But after 5 tries it shifts. Revving it does nothing. It had this issue just with 3rd, but when I put a new clutch in the issue stopped altogether. 200 miles later, it’s started again. Also works immediately if I downshift then upshift again. Only from 2nd onwards but the worst is 2nd to 3rd. [size=78%][/size][/color][color=rgb(24, 36, 48)][/size]What could it be? Hopefully doesn’t need a rebuild! Bike has 41,000 miles on it. [/color][color=rgb(24, 36, 48)][/size]There is some free play in the gear lever shaft too don’t know if that is normal. (Side to side)[/color]
[color=rgb(24, 36, 48)][/size][/color]
[color=rgb(24, 36, 48)][/size]It now does it in 3-4 too but not as often. To clarify the lever feels like it has nowhere to go. Like it’s in the highest gear.[/color][color=rgb(24, 36, 48)][/size]Hoping it not to be an engine tear down thing as driving to the netherlands on the 28th!![/color][color=rgb(24, 36, 48)][/size]Any help would be really appreciated thank you [/color]

Hi guys,
I appear to have lost one of the round frame covers/cap/bung, I don't suppose anyone has a spare I could purchase please?
Thanks

I have just removed them and they were gungy with dry grease I have cleaned the up ready to go back but wondering should I grease them or not as they slide in and out of the swing arm no problem but dont want to actually make them slippery because its hard enough keeping things aligned when doing the back wheel up. Maybe just a thin coat of ACF50   

I’ve got a  2003 fazer600 tickover is a bit lumpy, it seems that it’s running on 3 with no 3 exhaust pipe not getting hot as quickly as the others, ignition wise all is ok, new plugs fitted all sparking


So got my carbtune all set up, and what I found is that no 3 didn’t move off minimum setting with the other 3 at various settings.
I managed to balance 1&2, then went to do 3&4 but again I couldn’t get no 3 to alter, I then set the other 3 to no 3 to try and get it to run smoothly
I’m wondering if the pilot screw is not set properly, but where are they? The manual shows a view, but it’s a joint manual with the thundercat, and it of course shows the cat carb not the fzs one
Anyone got a pic of where the pilot screws are?
TIA

can any one tell me what the standard suspension dog bone length is and also the triangular parts dimension please

Can someone tell me the best way to remove the radiator guard on a 2004 FZ6? I looks like is bolted to the bottom mount but I can't see how it's fastened at the top (or clipped) I don't want to strip the whole top half of the bike if I can help it just to fit the new chrome guard  :lol
Any suggestions? 
Dave

I’m thinking about doing a bit of touring on the fazer thou in the north of Scotland this year.

I was planning on packing a tent and camping out mostly, but maybe the odd overnight stay in a B and B to get a “proper” sleep and shower etc.

Having never done any touring on the bike before I’m turning to the foccer font of knowledge for any tips and tricks you seasoned tourers have acquired over the years. I’m not new to camping but never with the bike.

How do you guys get round issues like the mobile phone going flat (power bank, or fit a USB charger to the bike?), what sort of tools do you pack for a week away, and what are you checking/changing on the bike for peace of mind?

Any info greatly appreciated.

Mick

I have a Fazer 1000 with R1 forks and an R6 shock. I've got the dog bones that Luke supplied with the shock to keep the standard height. My question is, how much lower would the bike be with the standard bones back on and how much would i need to drop the forks through the yolks to even out the height and do you think this will effect the handling of the bike. I'm going to be do a lot more touring on the bike and as I'm a short arse I was hoping to pad out the seat a bit more. I normally like to ride with a bit of spirit and have dragged the pegs a few times but I'm not planning on riding like this with my tent and all my camping crap on the back. Your thoughts and suggestions are always valued and Thanks in advance.
