Why is it in this country that as soon as there is a few millimetres of snow there is a sudden rash of accidents, especially on motorways.??

Back when I learnt to drive cars did not have power steering or anti-skid brakes and I drove literally by the seat of my pants. I could feel a skid or loss of traction and dealt with it.

How about compulsory retests for all drivers causing accidents in the snow??

Hi all,

finally bought another fazer (FZ1) and managed to bodge the rad shroud, belly pan & olive coloured engine casing left side (not sure of the name) . . all before I sat on the thing for the first time

Got a shroud and repaired the belly pan and now stuck as fowlers and my local dealer cant find this engine casing in the greeny olive colour on my 2009 model. I assumed the casings and wheels must have been painted but am now aware that a lot of 2009s had this coloured bits/wheels

can anyone suggest where i might find one? part number i believe is: 5VY-15411- the 00 denoting the black ones and so i assume a different number denotes my colour?

any help greatly received

Colin

has anyone used this.
do tyre changers moan about this stuff?

Well,
first of all, thank you for accept my subscription
I'm here to start again the long process to learn new stuff about my new ride (FZ1SA 2011 - Maya)
after own for 17 years my old one FZS1000 (D-Lips), unfortunately died last August after a crash.
now I'd like to learn as much as I can about this new one to start to mod as the previous one.
I'm based in London and I ride 12month a year.
Just the ice can stop me (the snow today in London)



Cheers

I have taken this from the "what did you do with your Fazer thread so not to derail it.
I don't do rain but I do - do cold and been getting away with lots of thin layers, this lot


The blue is a thin camping mat -crap for camping that fits the chest and wraps all the way around to my back and is both insulating and windproof.
The kidney belt as well as being extra lower back protection is also very good at keeping your core warm.

It has been pointed out to me that I should invest in a vest

Get yourself one of those Pertex wind shirts, like the cyclists use. Thin as a fag paper, weighs nothing, packs down tiny in a little stuff sack. Put it on under or over a pullover, makes one hell of a difference without bulking you out. If you need to be warmer still, try a down or primaloft jacket under your bike jacket - some have a Pertex outer layer, so they are very windproof, and come in different weights, so you still don't need to bulk up too much. Wind chill is half the battle.
This is the top I use:

Yeah, I know, pricey  :eek  but I got mine for £25 in a sale, so look out for such.
And if I need to be even warmer, I use one of these:

Hi Guys its me again, I'm still helping my mate with his FZ1 last time it was a clutch prob which we sorted but this time he has a Missfire but its a strange one.


The symptom
When starting from cold it starts and run fine, this last a few minutes and then without being touched the revs drop and it starts to miss fire. Its all most like it runs Ok on choke but when that comes off it miss fires. How ever it will rev and seems Ok above 5k.


What we have tried so far
Checked Plugs, Coils with a multi meter, Replaced the fuel line, checked all vacuum hoses. There is no fault codes showing and the TPS is at 17 bottom and 94 top. It runs the  same with the Tank up or down . He has a power commander fitted so we in plugged that and it made no difference. Checked the clutch and side stand switch's all ok.


Something happens when it get warmed up to a certain point, I'm thinking a sensor is failing or something but don't know.


Any one got any Ideas please as I'm stumped.

Hello guys.
I want to make my own simple maintenance for my FZS 600 1998-1999.
I downloaded the manual and it explains how to remove the fuel tank. I never removed a fuel tank and would feel more confortable if I see it first. Is there any video available that shows how to do it? Or if not, is it quite simple?
Thanks
Miguel

Hi,

Gold ....FZS Fazer 600 1999?

Thanks Robbo for the givi  bars , couldn't get hold of any supports brackets but ended up welding some supports on and bolting to the helmet holder hook holes ( after strengthening) I show what I did at the end of my video https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=aSIlzkB7EkI

As it says, if a camera van is facing towards you, can they get the camera laser speed detector to work through the windscreen or does it have to have a clear path?

Because they always have that little flap open, which they point the camera through at the back.
