This is a good honest bike with plenty of history although I've done all the servicing myself since I've owned it over the last two years, the only reason I'm selling it is that I have carpal tunnel syndrome on both wrists and will need to wait a long while to get them fixed, so no point it sitting there and I've also got my head set on changing it to go for a Pan European.
Based in Glasgow

My old FZS 600 boxeye has many slightly annoying quirks but this one really gets my goat. Despite fairly regular spraying with wd 40 and all in one oil it keeps partially siezing and making impossible to put the bike on the stand. Is there anyway of ending this recurring problem before I take it off and bin the bloody thing entirely. Any advice much appreciated. Ta :eek
Its a nice bike, I would say too nice to break but has engine problem, (http://foc-u.co.uk/index.php/topic,21682.0.html)
- the simplest solution would be a replacement engine, never did get to bottom of problems, but it is probably a valve seal/gasket - it is def. blowing oil through , possibly also coolant too, oil was emulsified but no oil in coolant,
Ignore Gumtree price it can go cheaper to folks on here, will take £550 or near - if cant get that will break it.
-Be aware it needs collecting from Campbeltown (West Highlands- approx 3 hrs drive WEST of Glasgow)
Hi guys a little advice if someone can assist.
I have just taken possession of a new GlPro digital gear postion /change indicator and the first thing in the instructions is 'Locate the Speed Sensor Coupler' well I know where the speed sensor is, it's on the front axle, but, where the foc the coupler is in amongst all the junction boxes/connectors I have not a clue.
Any advice gratefully received as it my plan to fit the little beast tomorrow.
following my recent radiator disaster on my 1000 while I'm waiting for a radiator to come from trumpland, I'm going to get my 600 going to relieve my boredom and lack of 2wheeled fun
Anyway back to the question my 600 clutch before taking off the road had dragging a bit and upon closer inspection the outside of the basket it's looking very scored which I've never seen before, oil was changed and no metal flakes/ shards and it's definitely scored with grooves all around.
Anyone got ideas as to why ??? I haven't but I've got a 5000 mile spare lump that IVe got in the shed and that clutch basket is factory fresh no scoring so my plan is to swap the baskets/plates.
Next question is , does anyone know if the plates from the spare lump which has been in the shed for a year will be ok to use straight off the lump or should I take them off and soak them in oil in case they've dried out or is there a possibility they're focced and I should buy new ones.
