I was riding home from having a new back tyre fitted, thankfully that kept my speed down. My front brake lever started to travel a little further each time I used it. After a few uses it failed completely, no pressure at all on the lever. I have relatively new pads which had been working fine. I have replaced the fluid and now have bought and replaced the master cylinder seals. I tried the brake and it felt ok again, admittedly with slightly more travel than it had previously. I went for a run and all seemed ok, even with the extra lever travel. Then the brake failed completely again. No pressure on the lever. I stopped and tried it again, and it was working fine again. There are no apparent leaks and the hose all look fine. I am pretty sure its not an airlock because they are not spongy. Any help would be very much appreciated. FZS 1000, 2003 model.
Selling my Fazer, very good condition, under 18k miles (about 17600 but will go up if weathers nice), no issues, lots of accessories: heated grips, stainless downpipes, scorpion exhaust, rear hugger, stainless rad cover, renthals, custom levers, custom seat cover, led indicators, longer dogbones, rear rack and top box. Original parts also included. MOT until March 2018. Service history documented until I had it then I serviced it annually myself since I had it about 5/6 years ago.
Only selling as I'm thinking of changing to a cruiser. Any questions just ask.
Bike is located in Llanelli South Wales.
well had my carbs off again as i had to reset the float heights again as i was off a bit and running lean
and noticed one of my fuel mixture screws was snapped at the head
anyone know where i can get them at a decent price - £25 upwards seems extortionate
i cut a groove in it with a hacksaw so can still be adjusted if i dont get new ones
Hi Everyone, for couple of weeks I've been having a problem with my FZS600 ('02, 40k). The engine stutters below 4000RPMs very badly. Sometimes I can fully open the throttle and it won't accelate for couple of seconds. Sounds really weird too.
I took it to the workshop; the spurk plugs where changed, air filters, ignition pipes, have done 1000 miles since then and the problem persists.
My mechanic told me that he will have to open the engine to check the valves and other stuff, but it's not going to be cheap.
Anyone has a clue what could be the problem?
Tinted MRA touring screen with a flip, excellent condition, see pic for size, better than the Varioscreen IMHO , I've had both. £30 pick up or £36 posted to standard U.K address , less than half the price of a new one. Item in County Durham.
See photos, black ones to suit the black frame, haven't been crashed, alloy blocks have the odd mark, plastic blocks unscraped. £30 pick up or £37 posted (Royal Mail), or you could buy new ones for £75. County Durham.
Cheers
