Cut off 5mm of the leads and swapped to NGK SD05F plug caps. Filled the tank with 99 octane and fuel system cleaner.
And found a leaking front shock.

I did ask a few years ago in a Yam dealer and I think it was about £7
Re: What have you done to your FZS600 bike today - Disorderlypunk - 03-05-18
£3.50 is much better
for £350 i could have hired a lathe turned you a set in hard rubber and spares in alloy and then had the rest of the week to make parts for myself (steel and alloy included lol)

I went to pick up the centre stand from the finishers. Found it on eBay last week.Structurally sound, so I had it powder coated.Bought it to replace the old one which was corroded and cracked.

Very shiny and new looking!
Could you not have cleaned the ebay one up and spray painted it yourself? It's hardly visible there under the bike anyway.
Unless you are restoring a museum piece... obviously.

It only cost £20 for powder coating so wasn't worth the pissing about, especially with the state of my hands.

I did mine by hand last year over a couple of days and despite my best efforts its got some rust coming through - next time I will get powder coat I think.
Re: What have you done to your FZS600 bike today - Anquetil - 04-05-18
It was done at Wrexham Metal Finishing on Wrexham Industrial Estate. I have never had anything powder coated before so I didn't know what to expect regarding price. My bicycle frames have always been stove enamelled. I am very happy with the price and would use them again.

found out that if you want a new rear disc from brembo you have to order well in advance, its been two weeks now but i finally found out i will have it tuesday - hope i can get an mot as i move 100 miles to preston on thursday (might have to throw it in the hire van)
Re: What have you done to your FZS600 bike today - Anquetil - 05-05-18
Just fitted my refurbished replacement centre stand and replaced a bent clutch lever. It was almost impossible to get it on the knackered stand before.Now it just flies up effortlessly.
Re: What have you done to your FZS600 bike today - fazersharp - 05-05-18
Out for a little 95 mile blat
Re: What have you done to your FZS600 bike today - Disorderlypunk - 06-05-18
decided the brembo disc is not as good looking as the old one
but new chain, wheel bearings, sprocket carrier bearing, brembo brake disc, callipers dismantled blasted and rebuilt (DONT DISMANTLE THEM)
new pads and pins, coat of black paint on calipers and hanger
just needs an mot (shit chinese headlight might kill me on that)
