  Hello
Posted by: Wallace - 23-03-19, 02:52 AM - Forum: Introduction - Replies (1)

Hello,


I'm looking to downsize a bit from my current shopping and general running around bike (1991 FZR1000 Exup RU) so looking at buying a 600 Fazer.


I've had bikes for over 35 years and as well as the Fzr have an Aprilia Falco as my other road bike. Also have 350lc and a Kettle in the process of restoration.


I'm leaning towards a Foxeye but wouldn't rule out a Boxeye if one appeared at the right price. I'm away from home working for the next 3 weeks so keeping an eye on the usual sites and lining some up for when I get home.


Had a good read through the forum and got a good idea what I'm looking at so thanks already.

  Squawking noise on and off
Posted by: shieldr - 22-03-19, 03:49 PM - Forum: FZS600 Fazer - Replies (58)

Hi, have an fzs600 with 31k on the clock. Have had it for around 6 years with no major problems. Just recently I have had a squawking noise intermittently when riding. The noise comes in short bursts. Usually just after accelerating. At first I thought was Some sort of wind noise but now am sure it’s mechanical. Any ideas? Brakes all look good. I thought maybe headers, loose plug, head gasket. Sounds like a budgie being strangled. Not like brake squeal at all. Thanks for any help  Smile . It is hard to check when riding with lid on etc.

What a plonker. Riding home from hospital tonight, been to take my youngest brother some clothes in, took a right turn, the above came on accompanied by a grinding noise, then went off. Same again as I turned right onto my drive. What the foccs that I thought. Bike on the centre stand, fired it up, turned the bars right, same agian. Gave it a good look over, couldnt see anything amiss. In the garage and on the lift, ignition on but bike not running, turn the bars and the foccing thing fired up!


Idiot had put the tank bag back too far forward, turn the bars and it fired the start button :groan

  Rolling Thunder Ride for Patrick Doherty, John Duddy, Hugh Gilmore, etc.

I know I could be opening up a political discussion but please keep those comments off this thread!


Is there a ride for this? You know, for people who support the idea that those shooting unarmed people in the back as they flee should face justice…

  fork oil / air gap ??
Posted by: 74eldiablo - 20-03-19, 11:08 AM - Forum: FZS600 Fazer - Replies (6)

Ive just put some 15w oil in my 2001 forks with pre load adjusters.
465ml measured out correctly.


Pumped the forks to release air bubbles.
After 10 minutes each leg sitting i measured the air gap


It was way off the specified 132mm (at least 15 > 20mm off)
Should i add more oil to make the air gap the correct height or just leave the measured out 465ml

Thanks
