Does anyone have any experience good or bad with vesrah products? I've fitted these oil seals as I didn't want to pay yamaha OE prices or get fleabay budget seals.
They don't actually sell seals for the FZS 600 but as the forks are a fairly standard size the AR-4101 are a match. So far so good.

Hello guys, sorry for disturbing you whit some silly question, but I have got here some consumption issue.
Last week I've decided to little modify my original Scorpion muffler.
Nearly I cut it in half, the original 24" is 13" right now.
It's looks pretty cool, it's sounds pretty exciting... But... And there's a big BUT...
Since that cutting the consumption suddenly raised... And not just a little...
I am using the bike basically for commuting, a little in city, then few miles on motorway, then few miles in industrial area, in free time some fun riding. The speed on motorways 70-90 mph depends on traffic. The consumption was before the modification like 42-43 mpg (UK mpg) and after the cutting is 35-36 mpg.
Any ideas what's happened and how could I solve this?
Thank you for your help in advance!

Hi,


pleasure to introduce myself! Yamaha FZS600 Fazer owner from Riga, Latvia.
Got this great motorcycle in the beginning of summer. As almost every ride makes new questions about the bike, I hope I won't become too annoying!

Hi all,


I have recently purchased a 2004 FZ6 26k miles and although it's a fantastic bike have noticed a few things i'm hoping to get help with.


It's my first bike so don't have a baseline to compare it to beyond what i learned on (xj6) but the fuel economy seems shocking (~100/tank).
When warm, I've noticed a kind of wet warbling noise from the engine when engine braking, it's like a valve is open or something as the engine noise is a bit louder and clearer than normal. Then, when the throttle is re-engaged, it's like the window pops closed and there is actually a kind of sealing noise again like a window or valve has been sucked close (there's no sucking noise, almost like a pop like liquid has sealed the hole) and the engine sounds normal again.

Thanks,

Chris

Bought all these bits for my black Fazer that I gave up on, so now for sale as not needed for the silver one.


Centre stand - surface rust in places but works fine, complete with mounting bolts and spring.

Main ECU module - bought for fault finding a speedo fault (turned out to be damaged cabling) tested by substitution and works.  Check numbers as I believe these changed on later models.

Rear hugger - currently in blue, I intended to repaint, but replacement bike already has one fitted.  Has a crack on one mounting hole.

Hi foccers.  I was thinking recently how strange it is that some motorists make the same mistakes every day and never learn to improve.
So, I started a list of mistakes I corrected 50 years ago.

It pays dividends to clean your wing mirrors BEFORE setting off.
It is unnecessary to brake before every bend, gap, tree, oncoming vehicle and does nothing except confuse the guy behind you.
NEVER have anything loose on the floor that can roll under the brake pedal ( brown pants moment!!!)
Indicators go one way for left and the other way for right. This never changes.
Indicators are, as they imply, an indication of intended movement so never use them too early or leave them on after a turn.
If you pull on the indicator stalk when using, IT FLASHES THE HEADLIGHTS, so don't be surprised when an oncoming motorist says thankyou and turns in your path!!!
The gear shift is ALWAYS where you left it so there is no need to look down at it before every shift.
Your car is a lot faster with the handbrake OFF.
You DO need to know what is behind you ( saved me many a speeding ticket)
ALWAYS check your mirrors before turning or opening the door. Cyclists will be very happy to re-educate you on this point.
On modern cars the position of the filler cap is indicated on the fuel gauge.
White lines are there for a reason and inform you of upcoming road hazards if you take a few minutes to learn the code.
While I am on the code, read and understand The Highway Code. It contains years of hard learned wisdom.
In slow moving traffic, if you need to keep braking, you are too close to the vehicle in front.
Generally speaking, if you need to brake while going uphill, you are doing it wrong.
Generally speaking, if you need to brake excessively while going downhill, you are in the wrong gear.
Expect the unexpected.
Watch the traffic ahead for any changes in speed or position.
Watch oncoming traffic. Are they going to overtake? Is there a hazard (cyclist) which requires them to pull out etc?
Dip your headlights for oncoming traffic at night and turn your bloody rear fog light off when visibility improves.
Be PROACTIVE rather than reactive.
Remember................ CORRECT SPEED, CORRECT POSITION, CORRECT GEAR and CORRECT ATTITUDE.


I am sure you will add to or even dispute some of these but I am proud of the fact that in 50 years of motoring I have never caused nor been involved in a serious accident.
