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

Hi Guys

Had a quick look at the cable this evening:
Lever end is now pulled through to under the tank
Clutch cable bracket at clutch actuator end is released but unable yet to get the locking nuts undone.

Once released it looks like the cable can then be drawn back and out of the LHS.....???

Any ideas please!!!
Many thanks

Just read on another forum that McG crashed in practise and has a suspected broken leg which will mean Guy will be on his own for the TT.Did a quick search on NW200 latest news and it appears to be true......What a choker.

Hi all. Always fancied a Fazer Gen 1 and hopefully will soon be in ownership of a 2004 with less than 5k miles on it!!! Some nice touches to it and in mint condition.  Just got to agree terms??? Regards, JC

Hi guys


Over the last week my 2001 FZS 600 has ran into a lot of problems (A LOT) she is all fixed and running again for now however it has left me needing some things.


The fuel hose leaked and now I am looking for 9mm reinforced fuel hose to replace the temp fix it's got now.
I also change the chain and sprockets and now desperately need the upgraded lock nut and tap for the front sprocket as mine still has the dodgy original one.


Hope someone can help me with links to these items, would be greatly appreciated.


Thanks guys.
