So just bought this off amazon and considering this was made in and came from China, I am pleasently surprised -

The item was better than I expected and is made from what I think is stainless steel (non-magnetic) and the powdercoating looks tough and of good qaulity.

Just popped in to look at the American site and saw this

Looks like the site could close next year.

Hello,
The bike runs, but the idle is jumping a bit and it drinks oil a bit.
I did the compression cold and the PSI is about 100,150,150,160. After adding oil it went up to 170,180,180,190.


I'm thinking about changing the piston rings with the engine in the bike. Is that possible? If not I will have to remove the engine.
Could the piston rings fail just after 30k miles? Best place to get the piston rings just for one cylinder? A piston ring compressor would be useful, should I get 2 or 4?


I did rebuild the Honda 125cc engine, so I know the basics. Hopefully, the 4 cylinder won't be a pain in the ass. 
Would I need some special socket the remove the engine bolts?

The headlights on my 2002 FZS600 have recently stopped working.
The sidelights work, and the flash to pass lever works for the main beam - but I have no dipped or main beam using the toggle switch on the RHS bar.
The dimmer switch on the LHS bar does nothing either.
Any ideas?

Hello,


98 boxeye with 44.000miles on the clock.


I think something is not ok with the clutch. When I change gear I have to feather the clutch a lot to have a more "smooth" feeling on the gear train.


It's a very harsh/snappy engagement!


Clutch cable is tuned ok, new transmission, +/-3cm chain slack (almost touching the rubber).


Maybe a outer basket notched?

Boxeye headlight off my 2000 FZS600 that I swapped out when I moved to the Netherlands.
In great condition.
Offers welcome.
I've got an upcoming trip to the UK early October and could bring it over to save on postage so drop me a line if interested.

After moving to the Netherlands and having had to swap out the headlamp, I have the original UK unit to sell if anyone's interested.
Still in good condition. Open to offers.
I'm located close to Utrecht in NL but regularly visit family back in the UK so can bring it over for any UK buyers.

2003 fzs1000. Anyone know which wire fits top connection on right hand coil for 2 and 3 plug leads. Red and black wire or white wire.

Must go: my red Fazer 600 2003 (tuning forks on tank).


Miles: 76,692


Problem: turns over but doesn't start. Likely to be furred up pilot jets. More here: https://foc-u.co.uk/index.php?topic=27764.0
Also could need new fuel lines.


Location: Coney Hall, near West Wickham and Bromley, Kent.


Opportunity: If you can get it going it can be sold for a good few hundred quid to someone outside ULEZ, or broken if not. Or use it yourself and take it over 100,000!


Price: donation to St Christopher's Hospice or Motor Neurone; best offer.

HiBeen reading a little about flashing the ECU to get rid of the jerky throttle at lower revs, my bike is a Gen2 FZ1, do any of you on the forum have any ideas about this, would it be expensive and I bel;ieve the ECU is under the air box.
