Hello all! My name is Laszlo, I am from Transylvania and I own my FZS 600 for the 3rd season now. I work as driving instructor (car and motorcycle) and my I spend almost all my free time riding or working on my and my friends bikes. My native language is not English, so sorry for my mistakes. I always did and will do all the maintenance jobs on my bike, also love to help out friends with this kind of stuff.

Hi


Finally got my new bike!!! Yay! It came with some hard luggage and mounts which I will not need so putting these up for sale to fund general maintenance and suspension mods.


Genuine KAPPA left and right hard case panniers along with all mounts. The brackets show points of surface rusting in places but a quick rub down and spray would do the job- they are not heavily corroded. The system is very neat and mounts/dismounts in a very slick fashion-I was impressed. Both cases are lockable and come with 2 spare keys matching lock barrels (ie same key does both cases). Take up to 10KG max each according to the label. If I have time I will prep these brackets etc so that the rust is treated.


The previous owner also had the top box, the bracket mount has fixings for a plate for this but this has been lost/misplaced, but means in future you could add to this set up.

Apologies if this topic has already been covered / done to death but...
I have just spent 15 minutes digging around to remove a pinlock earplug that got "lost" (jammed) down my ear canal. They're for the bin, waste of 20 quid. At home, 'cos Mrs Wharfe snores like a seal colony, I use E.A.R. foam  plugs, but under a helmet they feel a bit bulky, despite doing the trick adequately well and not getting lost. And being dirt cheap if bought in bulk.
My question - does anyone have a cheap effective alternative to disposable foam plugs? I'm not fagged to go down the route of bespoke moulded plugs as they're expensive and I'll only lose them. 
Your thorts please ladies n gents....

Off to a wedding in Ireland in June, and may have a couple of hours of motorway miles coming back in the dark.
Im not too bothered by my lights at night but then again I barely ride at night, not for a couple of hours any way.
So was wondering about 50,60 100% brighter bulbs.
Do they make a difference?
Are they just a straight swap or is there some fettling required due to motorbike wiring, I know its a straight swap on a car.


Cheers
Nick

Hi all, after a bit of help,


Went to play out tonight the 1000 wouldn't start, flat battery, flat enough to reset the time on the clocks so...i bumped it and got it going, now it is misfiring at low revs and has an erratic tick-over, when you rev it it fly's, revs all the way through on part or full throttle, when on the motorway it is hunting slightly, starts on the button now, any ideas anyone?

Im posting this up as few guys have been buying the current model r6 shock see pic

this shock wont work as a conversion for the gen 1 1000 as the top bush cannot be drilled as not enough metal im currently having some top hats made and will up date how this works out in due course

happy to answer any questions but via email pls devilsyam@gmail.com

First day off in ages with good weather so thought I'd give me and the Fazer an 'airing'.  Switched on the ignition had the fuel pump prime and then the neutral light went out and heard a 'clicking from under the left side panel and the neutral flicked on and off in sequence with the clicks.  Took the panel off and traced this to a multi plug relay about the size of a box of matches - 3EN-81950-00 along the top. Anyone else had an experience with this? :'(

Since I have owned the bike now and again going over a bump or pothole I get a solid bump through the bars. Nothing that put me in danger but bugging me. I have recently had new fork seals, uprated the fork oil, head and wheel bearings checked and all good. Any one had the same thing and sorted it, cheers.

i might be having an off day - well 3strong beers in as the postman didnt show then did at 4:30 (rather later even for here)
just put sprocket carrier bearing in and for the life off me cant find the torque value for the rear sprocket nuts
i know they are lock nuts so should be good whatever i do but usually there is a value - any ideas


ran out of gas so cant sweat the wheel bearings in now so its for tommorow afternoon now
