Well the old  :faz has now reached the 40k milestone  :eek and I'm thinking of replacing the head race bearings. There's nowt wrong with the steering at the moment- no freeplay or notching, everything ok. I hear that it's a bit of a ballache to do? Is it worth doing now or do I leave it a bit. At what milage did you replace yours if you have replaced?  I know that all bearings have a limited life in service, I've had to replace the front wheel bearings aboot 6 months ago. All input is greatly appreciated dear foccers. Cheers . . .Will

ok so speedo stopped working the other day and obviously plays with timing as engine turned to shit afterwards
engine became fine later and rev counter giving the 4k speed sensor error
front off this morning and found the rotator is cracked and loose (new one getting ordered)
i spin the rotator in the sensor at high speed and getting no reading
does anyone know how to test these using a multimeter and the three pins???
(beware removing front mudguard - even after wd40 last night all 4 still broke lol)

After a rad guard please, preferably the Beowulf one. Hopefully there's one in someone's shed somewhere.

Well the Fazer isn't going to be finished anytime soon and the other project was looking like it was going the same way so I spent a couple of days looking at various bikes on ebay and am hoping to pick up a low milege ZZR600 on Saturday. OK not the best looking bike out there but ideal for me as I won't get the urge to foc around with it, just get back on the road and ride the thing.

Couple of sleepless nights coming up me thinks

ey up,I sold my fazer 1000 a couple of years ago,couldn't leave it alone and have just bought a 600 quite by accident.I'll be posting my old 1000 spares once I've sorted them out and look forward to many hours buffoonery on me 600,regards,Ian

hi does anyone know sinto from here? Was chatting about buying some bits from him , then he disappeared, wonder if he's ok or sold them already? Thanks mick

Hi,


Looking for a FZS600 ideally under £1000, near East Yorkshire or East Midlands (or inbetween).


Thanks,

Apologies if this topic has already been covered but I'm buying s pair of oxford heated grips for my yet to be picked up 2003 600. I don't know which type to get. The touring type are 120mm long and the sorts type are 124mm long. I know I can trim them down if I need to but I would rather not. I would be very grateful if some kind soul could tell me what the standard grip length is. I'm not due to pick mine up 'til the 10th and it's 70 miles away so it's more convenient to ask on here than nip up there with a tape measure and I would like to have them here ready to fit when I get eventually get it. Thanks.

I struggle to find time to ride and then also if I did have time its a pain to get out anywhere useful.

How do you all find the time to ride and where do you go?
