Loud rattle (almost a knock) from the engine at all engine speeds. Quieter at idle, louder on light throttle openings, almost disappears under larger throttle openings.
I'm guessing its timing chain related. Also noticed an oil leak but the bike won't have lost much more than 250ml.
Roughly 65k miles. Thoughts?

Hi all... from a very wet and cold France... I am struggling to get a right hand dip, continental headlamp unit for the Fazer... Am I right in believing that the FZS1000 Fazer unit is the same?  Certainly the product numbers are the same on the various spares websites... There are plenty of FZS1000 unit for sale on ebay... Many thanks... Keith

I'm becoming addicted to the live streaming. Can't wait for next week to see what Vennels has to say for herself

I would like to freshen up my headlight lenses - 85,000 miles and 23 Yrs old. Has anyone got any suggestions for an off the shelf polish or any other method.

Bike now sold!

In June last year one of our members was attacked at work leaving him with life changing injuries and unable to ever ride a motorbike again (or possibly even work again) though he still polishes his FZS600 semi-regularly. In an effort to repay the people who helped him following that attack, he is doing a 75 mile bike ride on the back of a tandem to raise some money.

Dig deep and sponsor him please.

Givi tank ring kit I can’t get hold of the 2 bits or flange kit to fit my givi bag on from my other bike Does anybody have one or know where I can buy one for my trusty 1999 Fzs 600.

If you find that the OEM FZ6 forks are a bit soft and don't give much feedback or control in the bends, here's a video that someone posted on YouTube when they upgraded the OEM FZ6 forks with R6 ones.



Fixed the link to the video - bkd

So this was the only place I could fit the pre-load adjuster and even then it was a tight fight. routing the braided hose from the shock to the adjuster was also a pain, I had to route it under the ABS unit, between the unit and the protective plastic splash cover.

Can I ask if anyone else has fitted an ohlins to their FZ1 and do they have photos..?

Before I get on the phone to Infinitiy, Sportsbikeshop etc, I thought I would check on here and see if anyone suggest a backpack that you can fit a helmet inside..? Im guessing 30L or bigger. Budget is £100 and it would be handy if it has zippable side pockets.

My old Hien Gericke backpack was a 31L and I could just about fit a helmet inside.
