Had my bike nicked from outside work yesterday, right in the centre of Bradford (outside Subway and across the road from City Hall if you know the city). Came out for lunch and it was gone.


Silver FZS 600 with top box, Renthal bars, oxford hot grips, engine bars, rubbery knee grip thingies... reg is YK03AGY. If anyone sees it can you let me/the cops know please.


I assume I won't see it again so waiting for the insurance to fund my next bike - which will be another late model Foxeye :-)

Hi Guys,
I'm thinking of repainting my 2004 FZ6 engine as the silver paint is flaking off.


I found a thread on this forum about someone painting a Gen 1 Fazer 1000 engine and was wondering if it's the same silver finish as my bike?


Here is the link to Amazon where he bought it.

Also i have been thinking about repainting the silver sub frame as it's a bit rusty but not sure what paint to use?


Silver hammerite??


Thanks 

Sent the seat off to Poland a couple of weeks ago for a re-upholstery with Wijalis and got it back yesterday.

I quite like the standard look of the box eye fazer, has something of a retro feel, but I do want mine to be somewhat personal. After much deliberation I went for blue piping to match my new blue brake lines (rear one just waiting to be installed).

Costs:
£125 in the eBay shop for the reupholster, including return postage.
€23/£19.5 to send to Poland.
I contemplated having the gel cushion added but it was an extra £45 and I didn’t think it was worth it. The seat feels nice and firm as well as much grippier on the turns. I think it is a touch wider and higher as well which is probably a good thing for lanky old me.

All in all I recommend Wijalis, maybe a little expensive compared to others on mainland UK (I'm a Brit abroad) but the end product is top notch.

so I’ve heard of the passing of the sg motorsport owner who was Uk distributor of Ivan’s performance stuff


Anyone know where we can order from now ?


Can’t find an email for Ivan

im going to get a set of 758 bars but I want to tap them for the stock bar ends. Does anyone have either a set to sell other want to sell the tap to me?

Good news about Guy Martin doing the Cookstown 100 this year,when we used to go to all the big irish races you could guarantee he'd be up there with the Dunlop boys,Ryan Farquar,Bruce Anstey,etc,etc,and the craic after was something else,especially if once in a while you went to Joeys' bar. When I was racing I sold Guys' dad a Rob North triple,this was when they wasn't a classic bike,they was well competitive, unless it was open 1000 races when the latest Yamaha TZs' would just fuck off  :lol but I remember Guys' dad being a nice bloke ,proper friendly northen type and when I seen the bike at Darley some time later it was like a different bike,absolutely mint! when I had it it was a bit rough to be honest,as long as I could get out for the next meeting I was happy.I think Guys' only doing classic races at Cookstown,funnily enough on a Rob North triple,I've often wondered if that might be my old one 'cause there can't be that many about,must try and find out.

Evening Foccers
Looking for advice on what is the best grease to use when reassembling the EXUP valve.
Copper grease tends to dry off and leave a powdery residue on the internal pieces so wondering what might be better.
Is it OK to use molybdenum disulfide grease?
Many thanks in advance,
Dave.

Noted the bike seemed to be uneven running when I was out on it last week, so decide to have a look if the injectors were out of balance. Noticed the one of the securing clips appeared to be slightly misaligned and the rubber, so pulled the airbox off to check. Looks like the rubber may not have been seating properly on the neck, and the clip has slipped off the neck alittle. There is a slight indent in the rubber and the rubber is slightly oval shaped (the indent nicely reflects light in the pic), so took the plunge and order 4 new rubbers and 4 new clips. All on backorder, but should be here within a couple of weeks
