viper seat to fit fazer 1000 gen1 great condition £100

Hi, my 1999 FZS 600 has been running like a dream however, last week she has stated to play up.  Really have to push down hard to select first gear and second is tricky too.  I have oiled the clutch cable and greased and adjusted the clutch rod pusher but not really any difference.  What is interesting however is when the bike is on the centre stand - and you engage 1st gear with the clutch pulled in, the rear wheel starts spinning (can't stop it with your hand) - like the clutch is dragging.  If anything, the clutch probably needs replacing which I have know about however, I thought this would have caused slipping - not dragging!


Can anyone help?  I'm really hoping it's not a gear box re-build  :eek

Well been a good day, my thou has joined the ivanised ranks.


Massive thanks to Mike, sorted the kit first thing then took the time to do some suspension tweeks, can't wait to get out on the bike and do some miles with the new setup.


Also massive thanks to Joe, the host with the most. Nice to meet Jim and Dave too, we all spend most of the day together talking.

Just looking if anyone can help point me to where I can get the kit for fitting a r6 shock

Anyone have any tips to get flat black components back to black? My engine and frame have like a milky coating now? Not sure if it's the wax in the soap that I use for washing it but nothing seems to clean it off. Just wondering if anyone could suggest anything that might work?
My valeter said it need an acid wash or something but sounds a bit too drastic?

Hi Guys
Just registered on this great website, great advise and banter.
Had my bike for a couple of months now still getting to know it but although it is very smooth and performs and sounds great, from cold the timing chain seems to rattle. The noise goes one the engine warms up am I just worrying over nothing or does this need attention. also I have no record and no idea from the previous owner if the valve clearances have ever been checked the mileage is about 24000 now. Cheers George

Hello guys,

I wonder if there is something wrong with my front brake. Under hard front brake braking (not emergency hard) my back end starts twitching.

I mean even it is not that hard, way way softer then doing stoppies for example. My back wheel is on the ground but I feel I am losing it.

Happened few times in the last week. Once was I needed to shave off some speed to get in a queue I was overtaking and the back started to go hard left and right. I was thinking that is because I was close to the centre paint line maybe the paint was the reason.

Then it hapenned few times in the middle of the lane too under hard front brake braking (not emergency hard), even not that hard lets say ambitious front brake braking.

Any ideas? I don't have ABS. Never happened to me with the Fazer. I know MT09 is lighter, still doesn't feels right. Obviously I have adjusted my riding, but modern bikes are supposed to brake very well. That reminds me 30 years ago with the drum brakes. Forward planing was the key  :lol

Anyhow not happy to have fast bike that can't stop well. What is wrong?
