Hello, I've just turned 24 I'm 6'2-3 and a competent rider on smaller bikes. I just want to know really if an FZ6 is going to be big enough and fast enough for me. I'd like to be able to keep up with my mate on his R6. I'd like a sports bike but nothing I've tried really suits my build. I wan't to know if the FZ6 has enough power to keep me happy for a year or two. And if so are there any for sale in here?

Thanks

Hi guys,


I see its for the rear sprocket, anyone got any idea where and how to fit it? Worth to buy it?

Its a bit of a long shot, but I can always dream, and it doesnt hurt to spread the advertising! Someone may have use for it!


Having decided I cant be bothered with the hassle of nakeding the Fazer Ive gone and bought a Bandit 1200S instead. Please forgive me.  :'(  Perhaps someone here can make my Fazer live on!

As title says, just discovered a bug screw embedded into the middle of my rear tyre?!! Hadent noticed as there is no loss in pressure? Could this be repaired or am i looking at a new rear hoop....?

As Title, loving my thou but this niggle is doing my head in, bike is 04 with 60k on it, full service recently and clutch strip assemble all good, new clutch cable, Ivans Full monty goes well,
seems to happen when over 4000rpm changing down from 6/5/4/3 when clutch pulled in the rps stick for a second then drop, changing up is a dream short shifting or with clutch pulled, seems worse when bike is warm and better at low rpm's. throttle cable is good and not sticking neither is the clutch cable. you have to plan well ahead when changing down and to allow for that second before the rpms finally drop to change gear,
Thanks for any advice in advance, Motul semi synth 5100 a month ago.

Finally talked Drew into doing his bike test so decided to look for a cheap 125 - like I had. Paid about £100 for it.

Bloody hell - what happened to the prices?! The only 125 under £500 was a write off with bits missing. Most of 'em were over a grand!

My 50cc cost £85, The 125 cost about £110 and the 250cc was around £200!

Not sure who's left on here that knows me ... still

Been with Drew 10 years on 26th June so we're finally getting married!

Can anyone recommend a B & B at the I.O.M

Hi has anyone got a fz1 stator rotor for sale cash waiting.......

could do with an engineer to double check this out and let everyone know before this is tried was just an idea and i know there are some amazing lathe machinists out there
i keep reading about output shafts being stripped and i cringe when i hear the sprockets have been welded on (yeah it works but)
i will be stripping my engine down before long and i know my output shaft has seen better days so was wondering if it was viable to sleeve the threaded shaft after turning it down and having that re threaded
obviously there is litle rotational stress in that area so i thought by making the sleeve a little bit smaller and using heat and compresssion to get as much friction between the two and even welding through holes to add more joint strength just incase
then turning it down and re threading again
-what do you guys think cause there are only so many of these used output shafts around.
