Hi all


Could you advise me which would be the better upgrade for the rear shock. This would be for touring 2-up.


I would guess at, with everything loaded and the two of us on the bike, would be around 28 stone / 178 KG (shhhhh, no comments please  :b )


is the R6 or S1000RR likely to be better?


thanks

Recently I did some maintenance with chlutch, and after removing cluch basket I have seen that oil pump drive chain is very slack. Is it normal or I have to replace it?

Hi all,

I'm 35, based in North Devon and learning to ride. Mod 2 test booked for 24th July!!
Fazer in my garage and needs a little love. Service, carb tune and MOT and good to go. Hopefully it will fly through the MOT!

I can't wait to get my mod2 ticket and put some miles on the Fazer!!

Cheers

Well, after several other bikes, I've gone back in time and bought a 2003 Fazer 600.

It's in lovely condition, but being 14 years old it has picked up a few little problems in the 14,000 miles it's traveled.

Yesterday I had a go at balancing the carbs and sorting the freeplay on the throttle (there wasn't any!), will find out how good a job I've done today, I hope.

But there's one thing I need some help on - I suspect it may have been lowered at some point, it didn't feel like it wanted to turn and the side stand seems close to the ground when extended, I also seem to remember my original 2003 bike being a bit higher in the saddle, maybe I'm heavier and it's just squishing down more...... does anyone know what length the standard dog-legs are on the suspension?

Used to have a gen 1 thou and now recently bought an FZ6 S2 :-)

Anyone put extra weight inside their handlebars to damp out vibration, I've renthal ultra lows with RG end weights but there is still an annoying vibration there, I was thinking of kiln dried sand, lead shot or brass internal bar, approx. 13mm diameter by 150mm long. Any thoughts ?

***Brand New***
Gen 1 Gear shift rubber pads.
May also fit other Yamaha models?

Thanks for looking

Alright everyone, just got a 2007 Fazer 600 S2 (after the ZX6R I've been riding for 8 years has run its course) so doing some reading round on the forum to see what's what with this bike.
Was hoping to go up to a litre bike but living in London, insurance prices are a joke  :'(

Bought it Thursday and rode it home, then of course Thursday night was having a fiddle with it (the bike)  in the garage and noticed only the sidelights worked FFS. Spent half an hour messing about with a multimeter on the bulb plugs before going to bed royally p'd off.
Did some googling yesterday morning and discovered the main lights only come on when the engine is fired up. Ah!

Sure I'll have a few questions once I start messing about with this bike!

Cheers.

Hi folks,
I've a question about using hearing aids - cochlear implant devices particularly - whilst wearing a helmet.
My bezzie uses a standard hearing aid on one ear and a cochlear on the other. I'm trying to help find a solution for using both or either whilst wearing a helmet. We have intercom but it's practically useless for my mate because his hearing devices don't fit under his helmet. It's damned frustrating and I think there must be a solution. Does anyone know of one?
Understandably, he's reluctant to carve bits out of his helmet liner/shell foam, at pain of compromising the helmet integrity and voiding his insurance. What do other hearing aid users do? Is there a blue tooth facility for cochlear devices or hearing aids? Or perhaps a wired ear bud or cochlear attachment that connects in some way to his device/s that can then be kept in a pocket or something?
My mate's been looking around for yonks, and the cochlear people (this was a great suprise) don't have an answer. Perhaps we're missing something obvious?
Any help or advice would be greatly appreciated.
TIA, Niel
