Looking for a new clutch cable for my 2002 fzs1000, are aftermarket ones ok ?

All,

I have the standard silencer on my '03 Fazer Thou.

Tempted by a replacement road legal end can. New or used - that said a Black Widow is only £125.

Any discernable improvement in performance? A friend with a Fazer 1000 advised she saw reduced fuel consumption.

Guidance welcome.

Thanks

Hey everyone , 

I didn't ride at all last year, just had too much on, other life and work stuff got in the way of getting the Fazer up and running,

So I've been busy getting her ready for MOT on the 1st of April, new tyres, brakes refurbed, service ect 

This is my second fzs600 and first time with this one changing chain and sprockets , I got the new 12mm front sprocket nut the other day as this still had the old 9mm fitted (1998 bike with 16000miles on her and no sign of output shaft thread damage) and the book says 70nm torque setting, would you recommend sticking to that or anything different?

Also rear sprocket bolts they say 60nm, sounds about right huh?

Decent pair of 21 litre panniers, have a more robust plastic construction than the e22 cases that replaced them. Very useful if you're not bringing the kitchen sink along on tour and not much wider than the handlebars. Fits the Fazer's side rack setup and older Fazer 600 wingracks. Panniers come with two keys and have the usual marks from light usage.

£85 inc post - UK postage only, thanks.

Hi All,

Looking for a bit of advice or maybe a part if it ends up that way (will make a separate post in the proper category if it does.)

Had a major service done on my bike and following that the clutch started slipping under hard acceleration, lower threshold when colder (i.e. took less to make slip when less heat in the engine/box). Adjusted the cable to have proper play in it, have drained and replaced the oil with motul 10w40 and still no dice. Bit the bullet and ordered plates and springs to do the jobs lot while it was apart and found this.       

Had my eureka moment until I took the pressure plate off and found this 
   

So now I'm torn, in an ideal world I'd like to get a replacement inner basket but I can't find one for love nor money but on the other hand i'm wondering if 5 springs/bolts is still sufficient and just chuck the new plates and springs in and be done with it. 

Any thoughts or guidance is appreciated

Howdy folks,

Here's my ol gal, new to me as of Jan last year. First bike too and has ticked every box so far

Afternoon guys and girls, hope everyone's well.
So, my bikes been off the road for quite some time, had a couple of runs out on it but only done about 500-600 miles from memory in 18 months.
Yesterday I decided to dust it off and went for a 100 or so mile ride and maybe 3 or 4 times, when under moderately hard acceleration, the clutch slipped, I've noticed a smell every now and again as well and it definitely feels a tiny bit down on power, which after looking are all symptoms of clutch slip so I'm guessing it's time to change the plates.
Bikes on 54k miles, clutch has never been done that I am aware of.
Now, I might sound stupid here, but is it best to change both sets of plates at the same time, or just the friction plates?
I'm looking at the EBC plates, but are cheaper ones going to be much of a muchness or is it worth paying out for EBC?
I'm going to do the cable at the same time as well, just for peace of mind and similarly is their a particular brand other than OEM worth looking at?
Don't want to scrimp, but also trying to save what I can where I can.
And if I'm not mistaken it's best practice to leave all the plates soaking in engine oil overnight before fitting?
And lastly, do the bolts/springs/basket need doing as well or are they generally fine to re-use?
Be my first time tackling a job like this, so want to gather as much information as possible first... I appreciate any help/advice/tips!
It felt absolutely bloody great being back out on the old girl!

Is there actually a place to install bobbins on the rear of the fz6 as am struggling to find a slot for them? or are people using those paddock stands with L grips on the swingarms?
