[color=rgb(29, 33, 41)]A lorry reversed into me while I was stopped behind him. Luckily I was square on behind him, so he pushed me backwards rather than over, so no damage to me, but the bike needs work! One tiny mark on the back of the truck was all he had to show for it![/color]
Waiting to hear from the company who own the truck to see what they want to do, but would the concensus on here be to go straight through my insurers or see if they want to pay me out?
I'll strip it down over the weekend to see if the fairing framework is damaged, but it's at least new fairing and inners, headlight unit and screen.

Hi All

Looking at getting the R6 shock and associated hardware, along with linear spring for the front forks (80kg rider) for a year 2000 fzs600

Anything lying around you want to sell?

Cheers

Paul

So I finally got round to taking the sprocket cover off to check the nut today, and I've not seen a sprocket like this before.

[smg id=3108]

It looks like some kind of plastic or resin was moulded around the sprocket, going out so far that the remaining parts touch the chain side plates. What weirdness have I stumbled onto?

I've also got the old 9mm thick nut, which I've read should be upgraded to a 12mm thick one, but there's only ~1mm of thread exposed on  the end of the output shaft. Do I need to change more than just the nut and locktab?

Thanks

3 litres of gulf semi synth oil + filter and a sump washer for under £20 it's an absolute steal!

Hi Fockers
I will be looking for a FZ1-S after the end of April. Must have half fairing, and must be Gen2. Budget around £3k. Mileage no more than 15,000 and some history. Please send me a PRIVATE MESSAGE if you have something that fits the bill. I am in London but will travel anywhere within reason.
thanks

Hi All


Looking for a rear grab handle for a FZS600 boxeye- anything? I know there are 2 types- tubular and a more solid one- pref the solid one


Cheers!

[size=1em]I honestly don't know how I owned the bike for 2 years without checking this. I thought the logbook made it seem like the previous owner was pretty savvy. I thought the guy I paid to fit a new chain and sprockets last year would have known about this. But none of that is an excuse, I should have checked and done it myself. I even bought the new nut as I was waiting for delivery of the bike and now I can't find the blasted thing.[/size][size=1em]

So the list of things to buy/fit/maintain in prep for the new season:[/size]
Upgraded front sprocket nut and washer
Cam chain tensioner - must get rid of that awful rattle
Possibly cam chain - this scares me  :'(
As the carbs are off, bench sync them like I should have done the first time.
New fuel lines - replacing the ORIGINAL fuel filter on a 50000km bike without replacing the lines is a fools game, no wonder it feels like a pilot jet is blocked
Blast out the carb jets AGAIN
Braided brake lines?
While it's all in bits get the seat sent off to that Polish guy on ebay who re-upholsters them


Anybody else finding nasties as they prepare for the new season?

Hello Guys.
I wish to change the Engine Oil.
I know the manual says it takes about 3,5 litres of oil. How do you guys do not to overfill the oil reservoir? I haven´t any tools to pump it out if it has too much.
How do you do it? Do you fill for example with 3 litres, check the level and add up and check again the level untill it has the right amount?
Thanks
Miguel
