ok so i ordered a new seat cover to replace the torn split and goes rock hard when it gets wet (very uncomfortable after a long ride)
pulled all the staples as you would normally do and the bloody foam fell off aswell
question is what glue has anyone used with good results as i have a large selection of glues but i dont want to melt the foam and be royally screwed
ive got a day or two before i refit the cover as the foam is sat by the radiator drying out any advise will be appreciated.

Per my thread in the introduction forum, I got myself a shiny new FZS600 the other day


This afternoon's job was taking the center stand off and starting to tidy up the frame around its mounting brackets:

1. Rusty
   
2. Less rusty
   
3. Primer
   

what do you call these things that are fitted to top box's.
I know it sound obvious but cannot find any on ebay using that.
what I'm after is a rear light that has a brake light inc.
I can find one of each but not 2 together.
going touring in may so buying a bigger top box and I want the above fitted inside the red reflector.


probably might be best having separate lights .
what I would like is for them to be inside the red reflector that you got on the topbox.

Had a gen 1 painted up in Kenny Roberts yellow and black up until last Feb.  Was nudging 50k, and I'd had it for over three years and fancied a bit of a change.

Swapped it for a Duke 390. If you've never ridden one, give it a go.  Absolutely hilarious on the road, and the best town bike ever invented.  Pretty too....

...but no good for distance, and a bit lacking in oomph for uphill stretches carrying 17 stone.

So, am back in the Fazer groove.  Found an Ivanised but otherwise stock 02 blue FZS1000 with 14k on the clock.  Picked her up yesterday from 15 miles away in a sleet storm and near freezing temperatures.

But my god it felt good.  Like coming home.

Hi all, just got 1998 fzs 600 in black, low miles in good condition , can't wait to get out ?

Hi all
Just treated myself to a 2009 FZ1N, I have not been on the road with 2 wheels for 10 years & really missed it. Bought the FZ in December 2017, not had the weather to really see what it can do but the odd couple of hours here & there have brought the beaming smile back.

Hello all

I just got my own FZS600 (2003 model) to replace my gradually disintegrating GS500 after borrowing one for a week or so last year

Sadly I can't actually ride it yet, as I need to make a custom seat to properly support my fragile little arse, BUUUT I can start to fettle and service it while I wait for the materials for that!

I haven't done a full fine-toothed-comb inspection yet, but from the outside it looks to have been pampered and spent all its life under cover. Very little service history, aside from an invoice from a garage which says the coolant was changed in 2016. Is there anything in particular I should make sure to check? I've been warned to check the sprocket nut is the later thicker type, as the earlier ones can work loose and wreck the output shaft.

This will be my commuter in all weather once its sorted, so I plan to fit a "fenda extenda" on the front mudguard and also a rear hugger on the back considering how much my GS has rotted over the past few years...

Any suggestions which rear hugger is best? I see several different manufacturers on eBay including Powerbronze, P&P Motorcycle Bodywork and Pyramid Plastics.

Thanks

Hello.My name is Mitsos,i am Greek and i just buyed a Yamaha fzs fazer 600 ΄02.This is the second day of my ownership.I changed oils and oil filter the first day.The bike is a well maintained granny!  :lol .I have to make a service and she will be perfect.But i got a problem.Since she was out of use for a year,she is working perfect but 7.000-8.000 rpm depends on gear,cant go more.This is caused by carbs i guess.I went to national road to get some kms i drived 10-15 mins on the road,pushing it a beat and now is better.I think with a clean i will be good
