So as is to be expected, MOT time is fast approaching, the horn decides to pack up. Seems there is no power coming from the horn button, the horn itself does actually work.
I therefore need a switchgear. If anyone has a working one kicking around in decent nick please let me know!
Cheers

Hi Guys
this is my first post (don't say a lot really) I have a 2003 600, had it a few years now. Great bike! Anyway we are doing a trip to France in July and can any of you recommend paniers? I have never seen a FZS with Paniers so don't know if they are available even? Thanks G

Does anyone have givi pannier rails they want to sell?

for her 15th birthday, i thought i would give the old fazer a deep clean....... drained coolant and removed radiator..... removed exhaust and gave front of engine its first proper clean in 15 years....... must say its come up remarkably well...... will post some pictures when i work out how to get them off my phone...... btw the jubilee clips attaching pipes to the oil cooler have rubber sleeves around them........ anyone know the significance of these rubber bands....... mr yamaha must have put them on there for a reason, but i don't know why

hi guys its been awhile since i last posted just a update on my fazer 600 history i decided to sell my silver fazer 600 1999 t reg 13000 miles minter due to lack of use about 1000 miles in 3 years and a very good offer sold it in December and yes regretted it so bought a 2003 foxeye 2 owners private plated fazer that had a alarm fault had been used as a daily but turn out be higher mileage and more issues than advertised so decided to break this fazer.
so bought a blue 2001 600 fazer yesterday a bit tatty/dirty but only 1 owner 9000 miles sat for 3 years attempted theft thy had hacked the alarm out of the loom and ignition wires no claim on it the old boy that owned it tried to rewire it but don't run.
will need to get a replacement wiring loom so will all 5dm looms from 1998-2002 fit the only difference i am aware of is the early models did not have the hazard switch i think 2000 on did will this make a difference ? 

Have a 1986 FZX 750 with a Dynojet Stage one and 112 main jet.  Does anyone know the float level setting and where that setting should be read from. The Clymer manual says setting is from the bottom of the float bowl but the diagram show the level reference point to be thestop of the drain screw. Any calification would be great

Pump the clutch lever 5 or 6 times....then try it, with choke or without.


You live and learn!  :rolleyes

black shorty adjustable levers great condition, £10 uk posted.

So I’ve moved on from the TPS to exup 
Stripped it all down and cleaned/greased it.
Having put it all back together I started her up and could see that the valve moves about 45 degrees clockwise and stays there whatever the revs. When I switch the engine off it stays at the same position. Switching the ignition on will cause the valve to reset to the correct position over the hole.
I’m sure I’ve got the cables the same way round as before (black outer at the bottom - I might try to swap them over to check anyway) and the valve rotates fully without the cables attached.


Looking on YouTube it seems the valve is continually moving in line with engine revs.
One odd thing I noticed is that with the ignition on but the engine off,  I can hear the servo motor under the tank crackling intermittently (hunting?). It’s a very quiet noise and to be truthful Ive heard it before and just put it down to it being held in the correct position. Obviously I cant hear it with the engine on and there is no smell of burning.


Just thought - Could I have messed up on the TPS setting and that’s causing the Exup to have a paddy??  :eek

Just thought I would say hi after buying another fzs1000. Bought my first one in 07 and didn’t keep it long, less than a year. I know I know a fool and his money!!
I joined the forum in 2013 whilst running a Fazer8. So have now reactivated my account and glad to see it’s still an active forum.
All the best, Mark.
