Where is it as got an mot and my blinkers are flashing too fast now and again but there's no led bulbs on it.

Hi all,

My centre stand was really slow to retract last night, and when I had a look at it, the larger spring has snapped  :'( . Has anyone had any luck finding a generic spring that fits, or is my only option OEM at £20.00?


The coils seem to be much wider than the ones you see on ebay or WEmoto, probably because of having to accommodate the thinner spring going through the middle?  The same spring fits the Fazer 1000 and VMax apparently but I can't find any second hand ones online.

My caliper is dead, but looking at it with a ruler the measurements seem to be roughly 120mm hook to hook (assuming it's the same as the thin spring).  The coil part is roughly 25mm OD, and nearly 60mm long.

If anyone has one knocking around that they're happy to sell please let me know!

Cheers,

I'd just like to say, as well as being a very knowledgeable foccer when it comes to all things, er, foccing, Pat was very helpful with tips and advice when I was looking to buy my house a couple of years back, and it's much appreciated, not forgotten.


So have a great day, Pat!  :thumbup

Having a garage clear out and found this , a home made motorcycle build table on wheels , sturdy metal frame with heavy duty wheels , a MFC top with four tie down points and a flush fitting metal plate for the centre stand , easily takes my honda cb 400/4 which has been standing on it for a number of years.
used to restore the 400/4 , easily pushed when fully loaded , was able to push into the corner of the garage whan not working on the bike so I could get the car in the garage .
comes apart for easy transportation .

The LCD displays on the clocks of my FZ6 are flickering and I think it's due to dirty/ corroded contacts on the connector plugs that go from the ECU, past the yokes and into the bottom of the instruments.
There is a plug (see image) that I want to disconnect to clean the contacts, but it seems to have *three* clips, one on the top and one on each side.
This makes it impossible to get apart (at least as far as I have managed!)
I tried wedging thin screwdrivers down each side to separate the clips , then using another to undo the clip on the tip, but it won't budge.
Am I doing something wrong or is it just a total bugger??

Hiya

I removed one of my spark plug caps (no 4) this evening and obviously pulled too hard on the ht lead itself, as it separated from the cap.  It looked like it had severed apart. Anyhow, I sort of stuck the two parts back together and slid the seal back over it. It seemed to hold together okay.


Tested the bike down the road and no obvious loss of power, so I assume there must be still be a live connection on no4, at least until I next hit a bump in the road  :b


Question:  Will I need to buy an new complete coil/ht lead/cap?  Or are the lead and cap actually meant to be in two parts that stick together easily by hand?  Thanks..

hi all.
Sorry if this has been done before but if not here’s a question for those who have done it.
When dropping the front forks do I need to loosen the top yoke bolts only or both top and bottom yoke bolts.
Many thanks.

LoFos' Just found out I'm going to be in country on the weekend 7/8th July, anyone fancy a blast out.


Looks like this will be my only available weekend until at least mid-September so wouldn't mind meeting up with some of you ugly lot again.


Don't mind where, just need someone to arrange a route.

I bought my black Fazer, T71 KAG new on 1st March ‘99 from Five Ways in Hull. I wouldn’t mind it back again if it was still in reasonable nick (and it was for sale obviously!). It’s been SORN for a couple of years but the mileage was only in the mid 20’s at the last MOT so I’m hopeful it’s just parked up in someone’s garage and not been scrapped. Is anyone familiar with this bike?
