  Yamaha fazer fz6 2006 - no brake light with front or rear brake
Posted by: Ganch - 18-02-17, 01:34 AM - Forum: FZ6 / FZ6 Fazer - Replies (4)

Hi all, just recently purchased my fazer fz6. Absolutely love the hike and ride compared to my previous r6!


Initially the rear light was not working all together.


I replaced the bulb and the rear light then began to work but when I pressed the rear and front brake the light didn't brighten. I have the correct bulb and I have checked the wiring to the best of my ability. Also bypassed the front switch but still the light is no brighter.


PLEASE CAN SOMEONE HELP AS I WANT TO BE OUT RIDING

  Squeaky Sidi Adventure Boots
Posted by: Frosties - 17-02-17, 11:12 PM - Forum: General - Replies (12)

Hope you fellas can help 'cos this is driving me mad.


After 3 yrs and knocking 80,000 miles, my TCX Infinity boots started to leak. Cleaned them up, applied Nikwax but the Goretex appeared to have blown - sole was pretty shot anyhow as a 365 rider.


The TCX were a cracking boot but I always buy the best gear I can affordd and was sold on the Sidi Adventure Goretex boot (4 months old, broken in etc). Great protection, good grip and comfy as hell. https://www.infinitymotorcycles.com/prod...boots/1761


As much as I love these boots they are feckin noisy and squeak like I've got a dozen geese with me. They're fine on the bike and walking down the street but fecking annoying when trying to walk through an office. I'm close to selling them on unless I can cure this squeaking.


From what I can make out, it's either the plastic exoskeleton rubbing on plastic or on the Goretex leather itself. So the question is - what is considered safe to apply:- chain lube; dry chain lube, silicon oil (thinking WD40 is a bad idea for the leather).


Any advice as always appreciated fellas  :thumbup

  Gen 2 fork adjustment
Posted by: Dudeofrude - 17-02-17, 03:54 PM - Forum: Fazer 1000/FZ1 corner - Replies (2)

Hey, just wondering if anyone know if the forks on the gen2 have a compression adjustment?
Can't seem to find it? I know it's usually at the bottom near the calipers on most bikes?

  Bolshy Bridgestone?
Posted by: JoeyMcEssex - 17-02-17, 03:53 PM - Forum: FZS600 Fazer - Replies (14)

Hi, Looking for new tyres and found good deal on ebay for pair of S20 Evo 110/70/ZR17 160/60/ZR17.

Went to Bridgestone site to check them and got message " Battleaxe S20 EVO doesn't fit your YAMAHA FZS 600 FAZER<2003"

Am I missing something or are Bridgestone saying the Fazer wont like them?

  Useing the bike through winter, stainless headers?
Posted by: ogri48 - 17-02-17, 10:50 AM - Forum: Fazer 1000/FZ1 corner - Replies (20)

I commute Monday Tuesday Wednesday, but home early on Wednesday, so religiously wash/ fs365 the bike along with clean the chain/ relube and clean rear shock and tie rods etc with wd40 every Wednesday afternoon. Every three or four weeks tops I check tyre pressures and take all three calipers off, drop the pads out and clean Pistons anti squeal shims pins etc, coppa grease and back together, along with running all the exup stainless cap heads out and back in again with coppa slip. I also clean the headers up with one of them green pads the missus uses to do saucepans. I'm assuming they are stainless, mine get filthy with all the shit on the roads around here this time if the year( the commute is probably about 200 miles and it's nearly always wet, with salt and mud from tractors thrown in) do you think I should just stick to washing them? They get stains behind the crud that won't come off with soap and water. Breaks me heart to use the bike like this but needs must

I'm not the seller but thought this might interest a few of you. It amazes me how little information people put up about their bike's.  And he can't even get the name right.https://www.facebook.com/marketplace/per...534823212/

  "HELP" Spark plug snapped off in head leaving ceramic in situ
Posted by: Gabrael72 - 16-02-17, 08:37 PM - Forum: FZS600 Fazer - Replies (21)

Hello fellow foccers, I need to ask your advice!
My beloved 2000 plate fzs has been misfiring of late so I decided to start by swapping out the plugs, the off side inner most would not budge, even after heating up, later spraying with penetrating oil and leaving for a week, and culminating in giving it one last try today and it shearing leaving the bottom half of the ceramic and the metal threaded part still in the head!
My local bike garage has costed me around £600 for engine to be removed, head split (to clear out any left over ceramic) new gaskets and sundries, rebuilt and put back in bike, does anyone know any tips or tricks or do I have to bite the bullet and murder the wife to get my hands on her insurance? ?

Try not to laugh.  Bikes had one headlamp last time I owned one!!  On dipped beam does only one light come on?  Both light up on high beam.
