[thundercat any good ??]

You ain't offended me mate, the Fazer does EVERYTHING I need it to very well indeed.

On the engine front, how are they different? They're supposed to share the same motor, Fazer being a de-tuned 'Cat....likewise Fazer 1000 being a de-tuned Thunderace.

Can you really go wrong ,there both Yams .I looked at the thundercat but there was no nice ones up here ,thought it was better for a pillion .Then I went and bought an R6 , hmmm better up her insurance now lol .I've been away for a long time too and all these bikes have exceeded my performane expectations compared to the olden days .

Enjoy whatever you decide on mate .

Through the window !!!, not worked on an R6 but it will be somewhere around where the kickstart shaft used to live

I forgot the valve clearnce interval never seeing a manual for R6 but working off Yamaha principles I would guess 30k this distance was put in place on the birth of the FZ750 and I would guess it would follow with simular designed motors

Hi Jim

Thanks for the info and I have no history with the bike but she's lovely .

I've only owned the bike a couple of weeks .I'll have a look again tomorrow for a window but couldn't see one today .My local dealer said the valve clearance was due now but I had my doubts which you have just confirmed .It might be the measure is missing of the oil cap ? but I can't see it broken of the cap .

Regards

Paul

Hi all ,my 1st post of many lmao for advice on my R6 .I've been out of biking for hmmm a few years and only had two strokes in the past .

When is my R6 due the valve clearance check ? ,it's only just turned 14000 miles .

Next ( got the thick hat on here ) Went to check the engine oil level today .Unscrewed the top and no measure on it ,how the hell do you measure it ?.

Cheers all for any help .

[Just a little thought to myself...]

Sounds a brilliant idea .Just wish I had the time when I was your age to do it .Might have met a lovely Irish lass lol .All the best mate and enjoy the many mpgs on your 50 .
