I'm after a new set of front discs for my Fz1. Just wondering if there's anything worth looking at besides EBC or Armstrong? No Chinese shite.
Are there any British made companies producing them still?
There are some Viper ones knocking about but I can't find any info on them other than the fact they were sold by demontweeks (which usually means they're cheap crap)
Don't mind getting the ebc ones but I do sometimes feel I'm just paying for the brand name with that company

I'm contemplating getting rid of the FZS600. It's another expense I don't need and it's not getting used for 4 months of the year. So what sort of value would you put on a 1998 bike with 42k on the clock. No major damage, a few slight scratches (and I mean slight, barely cutting through the top coat). It's got a top box, not that that materially affects the cost. Valve clearances done 18 months ago (if I can find the receipt). Basically it's a completely average example.

Hi all,
Im currently a Yamaha FJR1300 owner looking for a lighter easier on the back bike and fancy a 600 Fazer.


This look's like the ideal place to be for hopefully advice, info and friendly banter. 


Limpy.

Just a headsup. Ring of Red M25 this Sunday.

Anyone from this end going up?

Hello all,


This is my first post having just picked up my fazer at the weekend. I've found lots of posts about seat lowering but I'm 6ft and having never had a fazer before it seems very low to me. Maybe this is how they are, I wondered if anyone has any advice for me on how I could tell?


Thanks and looking forward to joining the community.

I posted a topic a few weeks ago and received some sage advice from you foccers. New fuel and air filters, carbs out and completely overhauled, checked my valve clearences, new plugs and caps, cooling system drained, flushed and re-filled. Got the bike back together, pressed the switch and she fired up again, no more carb overflow and firing on all cylinders.


The last job was to balance the carbs, partly because I have never done it before and partly because of a kind of ticking/ clanging sound at the top of the engine on the left side which gets better as the bike reaches temperature. After reading around a bit it would seem carb balancing could help. I read through pointer2null's post on the subject to prepare myself.


Here is a short vid of my carbs before I adjusted anything: [size=78%]https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JgNX9bVLVzA[/size]


Now this is where the problems started. Rather than buying the carb tune like a sensible person I bought a cheap 4 gauge vaccuum gauge thing off amazon. To reduce needle flutter it has little plastic valves that you screw in and out on the plastic tubes connected to the carbs. The problem is that half a turn on these seems to change the readout quite significantly and I can't be sure I'm getting an accurate reading. I got 3 + 4 carbs balanced, kind of, and then I fiddled around for ages with the centre screw but all it seemed to do was increase the revs with the needles barely moving up or down.


To reduce the revs back to idle I started to also play with the idle screw. Eventually this proved futile as it seems the idle screw had no effect anymore on the revs (could it have come detached or something at the carb end?) while the revs sit at 3000 and I can't get them down anymore. I was spinning and spînning the idle screw and it had no effect. Dejected, with a wife who I had promised this would only take 20 minutes and a toddler crying for his absent father I turned off the ignition, put the cover back on and hung my head in shame as I walked back into the house.


Should have just bought the carbtune.

Looking for a bit of advise. My Fazer's engine is cutting out when I come to a standstill especially when the bike has been running a while. Any ideas what the problem is?

Thanks
Mark.
