Today on the way home.... IN THE DARK !!!, my headlights, sidelights and front indicators just stopped working.
The full beam dash light (blue one) came on and stayed on until the headlights and front indicators just started working again :confused:
Rear tail light, brake light and rear...
Hi all,
During my last MOT they advised that my front tyre had uneven wear on it. I can see that the left side of the tyre has like flat spots. I'll try and get a pic soon.
What would cause uneven wear on the front tyre ?
Do you know if its possible to fit different calipers ? because look whats happened to my freshly re-sealed caliper ! :(
Do you know if the other Fazer, earlier and later model calipers fit straight on ?
For a while now i've had a uneven idle (sounds a v-twin at tickover) and it isn't smooth and constant.
It's regularly serviced, not long had new spark plugs (correctly gapped), TB sync'd and runs fine when riding. I'm running a LV exhaust with baffles removed and a de-cat.
If i turn the...
First thing that failed on it was the breaker pin to push the old pin/links out and then when trying to rivet/flare the new pins, the head just squared off and didn't flare the head of the pin. Just for reference, that head is supposed to be domed shaped !:
Hey all,
Was doing my chain and sprocket change today and i was in the process of doing the rear sprocket nuts up to 100nm when some suddenly went loose. Looks like the threads on the studs gave way :eek:
Anyone seen this before !?
I've been measuring my SPC resistance and 2 were 10.5k and 1 was 9.3k and one was 8.4k.
Can you just replace the Spark Plug Resistors if you are not getting the 10k ohms ?
Hey all,
I'm trying to diagnose a rough running issue, not sure if its ignition related or TPS. I've emailed Yamaha to find out how to find out if my bike was ever recalled for a TPS change. I'm going to be trimming my HT leads to make sure they have a good connection.
I've whipped out the...
Right,
Not sure what's going on here but on Thursday i checked my oil level (cold) before my 4 days of riding to work (80 mile round trip) and saw it was quite low so i topped it up.
Rode to work and heard a horrible knocking noise towards the end of my journey, sounded like ball bearings...
Hi all,
I managed to find myself a 2nd hand Leo Vince exhaust system on eBay for £223 (not bad i think). Came with everything including the original box:
This is how the bike started:
I then removed the seat, side panels, Givi Top box and mounts:
Then came off the rear...
Hi
What are the signs of a knackered chain ?
Mines stiff and not easy to kink and also when sitting on the bike, the chain has a lot of play... i can move it up and down so much so that it touches the underside of the swing arm !
Broken my gears | Strip down begun | WARNING Lots of Engine Porn !
Quick story to explain what happened....
Following traffic in 4th gear which suddenly stops. I forgot to shift down and am stuck in 4th gear. The traffic started moving again when i realized i was still in 4th and not moving...
