I need to adjust the clutch cable on my FZ6, but the adjuster by the clutch lever is already all the way out.

The Haynes manual says to remove the tank, battery and airbox to get access to the other adjuster which is down between the frame and the engine, but I don't want to have to do all that if I don't have to.

If I lift the tank I can see the adjuster, but there's not enough gap to get tools into the space.

So does anyone have any suggestions to sort this out without all the palaver of removing the battery and airbox?

Looking for a blue spot rear caliper complete and ready to fit in good working condition. Let me know if you have anything. Replacing the weathered one on my commuter.


Cheers

Hi all.
Damn my poor memory.... :'(


I fitted uprated headlights.
Removed the fairing inners and the rear fairing bolts to get at them.
Now lost one of the silver fairing bolts, but got the square nut it fits with!! :oops


I'd just like to know the size/type of bolt to order to replace it?


Any/all help appreciated

sorry gents should have put workshop manual not user in the earlier post

Hi after having a clear out I found my old 600 manual on a cd it is a copy but if anyone can make use of it there welcome to it f.o.c

Maxton Shock for Yamaha FZ1 Fazer - in very very good condition.  Low mileage - just a few thousand miles on it

£250 inc P&P - a bargain

Was fitted to my FZ1-S (2010) - but should fit any of the Gen 2 FZ1 Fazers ( 2006-2014) - however, you should probably double-check on http://maxtonsuspension.co.uk if you're buying for anything other than a 2010 FZ1-S

Currently set up for a 90kg rider in all the kit - as you can see from the pix, there's plenty of adjustment up and down from that.

This is a serious upgrade on the cheapo shock that's fitted as standard and transforms the ride

You're welcome to collect the shock from Portsmouth to save on the P&P, although if collecting it's Cash on Collection

Hi folks, does anyone have one of these caps available for me to buy off them , I have 1 missing ... cheers Arnie

I have this set of colbolt drill bits http://www.toolstation.com/shop/p94153?table=no but most of them are now blunt.
Can someone recommend a sharpening gizmo to re grind them, I do have a bench grinder and stone but I can never seem to get the angle right.   

Took my radiator guard off for the first time in about 10 years and it looks like I can't put off replacing the radiator much longer.  It also explains the smell of coolant I sometimes get sitting at traffic lights.

Any comments on where to get a new radiator from and where to avoid?

I know some of the early Chinese copies had the angle of some of the pipe stubs wrong but have they fixed that now, or is delkevic the most reliable?

Hi, when I moved the bike today I noticed a small amount of coolant on the floor. I've traced it back to the filler cap under the right fairing panel or maybe the join of the rubber pipe just underneath. It's hard to tell. The coolant is filled right to the top of the filler neck and I've checked the small tank behind the engine and the coolant is between the level markers. ( it's low but between the marks )
I've cleaned everything and run the bike till hot and can't see anything leaking.
  Can anyone give me any advice on what else I should be checking ? The coolant hasn't been changed or topped up in about 3000 miles so it's nothing That's been done to the bike recently. It's a gen 1 fzs1000
