Hi guys

Just wanted to say a massive thank you to everyone who helped me out with advice and offering of parts whilst me and my bike were recovering from our accident in January, massive thanks to Graham especially for the engine case as well.

Good news is the bike and I are now back on the road and she is as good as new, new fairing, new mirror's, new engine case, new oil and filter, new clutch, new cables and levers, and of course new exhaust (SP Engineering can sounds amazing by the way?).

Picture below of how my bike is looking now.

Really wanted to post this just to show my appreciation for this group, everyone on here has been really helpful and friendly and I just wanted to say thanks for it, especially through the tough last mouth.

Cheers again guys ☺

Hi


I am looking at getting a FZ6 S2 but after hours of searching I cannot seem to see anywhere to run a chain through the frame of a FZ6 for security.


is it possible to run either a 16mm or 19mm chain through the bike so that the whole bike can be secured rather than just chaining up the wheel?


or does the anti pinch pins fit through anywhere? and if so what size is required?

After picking up my Fazer last Wednesday, todays been the first chance Ive had to start having a proper poke around it. So, after getting rid of some of the anodized blue bits fitted by a previous owner (on a gold bike? really?), I took the seat off to have a look underneath. No tool kit, but my tool roll fits in fine, with my disc lock and sidestand puck. Noticed its had a datatool evo alarm fitted, as the control box is still there and looks to be still connected, although I dont have the fobs for it. Theres also 2 mystery connectors under the seat, anyone know what theyre for?

[smg id=2936 type=preview align=center caption="underseat connectors"]

Next job is to get rid of the blue screen, once Ive decided what type I want to replace it with.

Fazer wanted for me to use to commute and ride out close to somerset. Money needs to be close to £1500 but anything considered. The sooner the better as i am starting a new job this month and travelling by car is not n option.

What is out there???????????

Last night was first time I tried the centre stand on my Fazer, needed wheels off to fit tyres!!

I thought it was me (5ft7 but medium build) but my 6ft 2 son also struggled to get it up onto the centre stand?

Are they all like this? I may have to get a set of weights and bench Lol

Can anyone suggest a sure fire method of tightening the yoke nut in such a way that it doesn't put a slight twist on the top yoke leaving you with a skewed handlebar? I'm on my third 're-tighten' since replacing head bearings and I've nearly got it straight but it's still tipped to the right a bit, obviously pulled round by the tightening torque. It's not a disaster, just annoying.
I'll get it right sooner or later but my method of deliberately skewing the handlebars to the left before tightening is a bit crude. Has anyone got a better method?

So I'm on an A2 licence at the moment and would be very great full if any of you good folk could tell me what deal is with proof of restriction? Do I need a certificate? Can I legally fit it myself and write up a very myself etc..
I have no problem fitting myself just need info about legality and certificate side of things cheers all!
