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/

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.

Hi,


I had the exup of the bike to clean and get unseized. Decided to get new Slinky cables too, as thats what looked to be on the bike already.


I thought i'd taken a picture to show what one was correct for upper and lower at both Servo and at valve, it would appear not or its missing.


Anyone know? Are the different lengths?

Hi ,just got back from  having  the fazer mot. The tester said  the chain was losse, and it is.The hand book says 45-55mm of play but I am sure some where  on this site I read that it is best to have the chain a bit slacker than the hand book says,  or was this some thing that I have mistaken?

As above, no damage, follows the line of the original can.£80 plus postage.
dunno how to post pics , not had much luck before, sorry.

Hi, has anyone fitted the Givi PLXR rack to their FZ1 that has a tail tidy on it ?

If yes, is there any butchering required ?


Many thanks.

Pretty much ever since my FZ6 has needed an MOT, I've had Advisories on the Headset Bearings (either loose or notchy).

The next MOT is coming up soon and I'm thinking it might be good to get them seen to (and replaced if needed) but I've heard that it can take around 4 hours and cost a couple of hundred quid or so for labour and given that I'm porbably going to need a new rear tyre as well, that's going to be very expensive

So can anyone confirm if that is how much it's likely to cost and if there's anything else I can do to get them sorted (or, at least, stop it failing the MOT)?

I'm changing back from renthals to OE bars and found out that the bar end weights are not standard ones and looking for a set if anyone got some good condition ones to sell ??

Ive being doing a search on here about gen 1 fork springs / fork upgrades and it all seems well confusing as to which way to go/ which brand etc, linear or progressive
Has anyone got any recommendations which would be a good way to go with them ? I've got an R6 shock from Devilsyam on it and now want to improve the front but the budget isn't unlimited.
Can I get a decent improvement for £200-£250 ? For that I'm assuming it'll be just springs ( fitted by mechanic not me)  and a change of fork oil which adds the question to what grade oil ??
Main use will be solo with a the odd touring trip with the mrs here and there and I'm no racer but like a bit of spirited riding every now and then.
Any ideas are greatly appreciated
Thanks
