Anyone else going?

Hi Folks, can anyone suggest what method they have used to remove front wheel and forks from my 600.
I need to repolish the fork bottoms and change the fork oil but i cant jack the front up under the engine due to the down pipes being in the way. Any ideas gladly welcomed, ta.

Hello Peeps


So, after 15 years the original downpipes are finally holed.


What's the current thinking on the best stainless replacements, in terms of fitment and value?


I've read in back-posts that Delkevic can be slightly misaligned.  Anybody back this up or otherwise?


Motad seem to fit very well, but have gone bonkers with pricing; £300 !!


Anybody used Black Widow? 


Cheers,
Andy

Hi,


I have had the Exup valve dismantled for servicing, turned out to be a pig of a job as bolts were seized. I have managed to get them out with help of a friend. I am now looking at building back up, but the plate seems like a really tight fit, like i would need to tap back on?


How loose should the valve plate be?

Hi All,


I have just joined the forum as I am very interested purchasing a Fazer 1000, I have found this one and will be viewing it shortly. I have read through the great G1 New owners post and got most of the info I need. I asked the guy some questions about the bike as below and was curious to find out why the EXUP was welded open, could anyone give me some advice? Is this too good to be true(its going cheap)?
