I'm pretty sure I used to be able to do this but it's not working at the moment.


If I'm in first gear (side stand up) and stall the bike, If I pull in the clutch, should I be able to start the bike?


At the moment if I do, the lights on the dash dim but it doesn't start, I have to put it into neutral and then start.


This is a bit of a pain at light sometimes.


Thanks.

Hi,


I am looking for a full set of pistons for my 2003 FZS600 front calipers.


8 pistons in total.


Thanks,


James

as I'm sure you are aware I'm having some fuel issues, sorry for yet another post
After fitting air filter and changing oil , I put the tank back on and switch on ignition, the fuel pump clicks away priming the carbs, so after a stab of the starter it splutters to life and dies, fuel pump clicks away again 5 or so seconds roughly and stops , it does this every time either I stop pressing the starter or switch on the ignition, there's fuel in tank and no pipes are kinked, from that I'm guessing it's not a fuel into pump problem
I'm assuming that if there's fuel to the pump then it's not detecting pressure to stop itself and in effects thinks the carb bowls need fuel, i can't think its the solenoid and I've checked all connections and cleaned them , it's got  a datatool red alarm but I don't think it would cause this ?? I can't go back to it until tomorrow but It's off for a carb refurb next week if that's the cause of the problems but that's 40 miles from me, should I just put it back together and get it transported or would it do harm to try and start it

Hello there


So I've finally got my new gearbox in the motoriginal and I've been putting it all back together but when I tightenter the bolts in around the crank in the lower half the crank work turn


I'm now worreduced I might have killed the shells


Anyone know what's going on?

ok so my C-Head came off today for stud drilling and i foresee the problems getting the carbs back in so going to fit pods
was going to in future anyhow so might aswell save some trouble and do it now
i think i have the jet sizes sorted but my question is
what type of carbs are they, what type of jets
[size=1em]and where is worth getting decently priced jets from?[/size]


-any help advice would be greatly appreciated
and if you have pods and know your jet sizes posting here wouldnt hurt (easier for others to find)

Hi All,
Has anybody fitted one of these? I had a Datatool one on my 600 and was a pain to set up and quite slow to register and got confused quite a bit!


Found this on Fleebay and would like thoughts please!

I don't get it. If you're vegetarian then be a vegetarian rather than pretend to eat meat. Tried it the other night, it's just not nice. Am I missing something?

ive just got back from a small break and good weather about so decided to give my bikes a bit of TLC, I decided to change the air filter on the 1000 and I've always suspected it was K&N by the induction noise( although yam stealer told me it was standard and didn't need changing until next service , lying foc wits ) anyway as soon as I took the cover off the smell of fuel hit me, and it's damp to touch on the filter but the bottom of the filter was visibly wet with fuel ( it didn't look clean but it's not minging) the inside of the airbox is oily at the front ( carb end) with some visible oil coating from what I assume is the crankcase breather pipe running down one side under the pipe which pulled of does have a slight fuel vapour smell...... (a) is this normal ??? (b) if not what's the cause ??? Is the fuel vapour coming up off the crankcase breather which I'm assuming could be part of its job and again is this normal, I've noticed that my oil level has gone up slightly ????? ( checked bike level with a spirit level ) which would lead me to think that fuel is the cause ( if so how is it getting in oil ) or that Yamaha dealer overfilled at service.
Any help greatly appreciated.

Has any of you experienced brake disks from ABE?  UK manufactured (apparently)  for the 600 they're priced at £110 each.  Surely must be better than going Chinese.
Other options are EBC @ £149 each+post
or
having mine straightened @ £60 pair  great option except my disks are measuring 3.4mm


Any thoughts
