I've got a Datatool gear indicator fitted to my 2004 Fazer 1000 but it's becoming unreliable (the indicator, not the bike). I was thinking of replacing it for a new one but then it occurred to me that all I actually need is a light that illuminates when I'm in 6th (to prevent me from trying to change up into a non-existent 7th gear). I don't need to know which gear I'm in otherwise.

I've read about the inner workings of the Multigauge designed by Christian Vieth (Schlumpf) on his info-packed website. Christian has very helpfully shared the ratios of pulse frequencies from the sensors for engine rpm and for speed for each gear - I'm only interested in that for 6th - and as far as I understand, all that would be required would be the means to calculate the ratio in real time, compare it with one stored in a register, and then illuminate an LED or activate a relay when the current ratio equals that pre-stored for 6th gear.

Has anyone done this already? If not, does anyone here have the necessary knowledge?

Thanks in advance for any suggestions.

Added a picture to show the part. Long shot but somebody may have one from a scrap engine.

Help please.2001 gen 1 FZ1 US model. Red wire was shorted to the other 3 and I found the starter relay module relay faulty and replaced the whole module but same result. Backlight on dash comes on, as well as headlights blinkers, etc. However, no numbers or clock or anything, and no neutral light. Any help or ideas? I started going through the service manual and wiring. Any suggestions?

Update, when pulling the headlight fuse, the dash display (odo and clock) work again, but still no neutral light or crank when start is pushed, even with clutch in. All fuses are good. .

Hi

I have a notchy headstock and need to replace the bearings.

Has anyone had any good feedback from the Pyramid ones for sale on the bay?

I'm not too worried about the bearing themselves, but more whether the seals are the same design as Yamaha OEM.

Thanks in advance

Wanted a rear hugger for an FZS 600 currently have black looking for a blue one pls. 

Thanks 

Mike

I purchased this for a recent trip to the Isle of man. Ive no longer got a use for it and need to free up some cash for the next purchase!

The side pannier rails are fixed on with keys allowing for a super fast removal of the panniers at the point of arriving at your location!

The back box plate is interchangeable with others to fit many different types of boxes.

£350.

Due to the size of this, it is collection only, however I am travelling from Leeds to Romford on the 7th December so would be happy to meet up on route....

For another £50 I can provide smaller side boxes too

Message me to talk further if your interested. 

Thanks, Richard Mark

Hi, I recently had a snapped clutch cable. On further investigation I found that the pivot joint on the worm mechanism was seized so that had been the likely root cause of the failure. For easyness I ordered a replacement front sprocket cover with a freely moving worm actuator. 

The problem i now have is that when I put the new front sprocket cover assembly on I can’t get the clutch to disengage. The clutch actuator is clearly pushing the clutch rod when I am tightening the font sprocket cover up. I have tried a new 0.5 mm gasket but the problem remains. When I compared the 2 front sprocket covers it did look like the ball on the worm mechanism on the old one that doesn’t disengage the clutch permanently sits a little deeper. I scooted the ball of the replacement worm with wd40 and loosened it a bit but the problem remains. Has anyone else had this problem. I feel like if I fit a 2 mm gasket then that may work but I shouldn’t have to tia, Richard.

Hi
Anybody got any grab rails for sale at a reasonable price. I have a rack on my bike I can’t stand to look at any more!

The annual toy run leaves at 1 pm from the usual venue, which is Tankerton Road car park CT5 2AS, with folk arriving around 12ish and onwards.  The destination being the Queen Elizabeth the Queen Mother Hospital in Margate.You can either bring an unwrapped toy to suit up to age 16, or a cash donation can be made to the official collectors in the car park area. There is usually a tea/coffee/burger van on site if you’ve skipped breakfast.
