So I've finished with the suspension, wilbers fork springs and new fork oil, and an R6 shock. Time for a service. Air and oil filter, plugs and oil change not too difficult. Hmm what's this exup thingy. Not much happening when I switch on. Flap itself moves, cables are OK. Took an age to wiggle the servo out, connected it to a spare battery, and it moves - but quite slowly. Any thoughts - should it turn quickly, is it worth taking it apart to have a look, or buy a 2nd hand one?

Always thought (and still think they are) that all original headers, 2001 to 2005 models are exactly the same and all years are obviously interchangeable, but at present there is a set on e bay, brand new being sold by Fowlers Yamaha with the part number pre-fix 1C2 (usually 5LV).  I emailed them as they said that it would only fit a 2005 model,  they assured me that Yamaha state it is only for a 2005 model! I believe this could possibly simply be a superseded part number, which sometimes happens as parts change in a very insignificant way.  Any thoughts?

occasionally my start button does nothing. I whack the right control block a few times and it works, although the Whacking doesn’t seem to actually do anything and it works when it wants too ...


Also I’ve had the 7k exup Rev fault display earlier at same time as starter was being funky. But I’ve rebuiilt the exup and set it up correctly, cables aren’t too tight etc and bike goes like fk and pulls away from my mates srad that did 130bhp on dyno ...

Has anyone done a tail tidy on their fazer ? Been looking for some kits but cant find any that show beforr and after pictures.

The 2019 FOC-U Bike Picture ChallengeA reiteration of the rules.
1. All challenges must be of YOUR bike and a landmark, or something obscure or creative, something most people can ride to in their area.

2. Picture has to be taken after challenge is made.

3. Challenge is good for a week; if it is not met after that time, the previous picture poster picks a new challenge.

4. Nothing illegal to be challenged.

5. Keep comments to a minimum; if you comment, post the current challenge in bold type after your comment.

6. No repeat challenges.

7. No other bikes can be used, eg, your bike next to a Ducati. Some exceptions will be allowed, eg, your bike next to a bike cop.

8. Only 1 person can win each challenge; any other entrants will not be counted, due to throwing the whole game off track and adding challenges that don't stand.

9. If any dispute about a challenge occurs, 3 oks from others settles the challenge.

Remember, this thread is supposed to get people to want to go ride straight away and beat others to the challenge - be creative, but be sensible about it.

Have fun Foccers!

A heads up to all who intend visiting North Wales roads this year. The ' Evo triangle ' is made up of sections of the A5, B4501, and the A543 in the Cerrigydrudion and Pentrefoelas areas of Conwy and Denbighshire. The cameras have been installed on the A543 near the Sportsmans Arms on Denbigh Moors - found to be the most dangerous stretch of the route. The system is currently being tested and is set to go live in coming weeks, meanwhile GoSafe speed vans will maintain a presence in the area.

Hi,
I want to buy a R6 rear shock !
so I can do the famous mod "R6 shock on FZS600"
The model is (13S)  (2008 onwards shocks, it must have the compression adjusters together, not separate.

If someone have fully modified one to sell even better :lol
BUT I live in SWEDEN and I can use Paypal for a safe sale.


Cheers

Alright chaps, starter motor is on its way out (having to rock bike in gear to get it to fire at times). I’ve got a new motor eh route from the bay. Is it a straightforward swap as I’ve not had a chance to look?
