Hi All
I just thought I'd say hello. I just got a 98 FZS600, I actually bought it new and sold it onto a friend. He's had it laid up for a couple of years in his garage so when he said he wanted rid I bought it back. It's a lot worse for wear, my mate used it for commuting for a couple of years, didn't wash it at all I think in that time and then left it corroding to itself in the back of his garage for another two years. So far every little job is a big struggle against the demon corrosion. All visible fixings are just balls of rust, downpipes and collector are held together by rust, engine is practically bare furry aluminium, battery dead, tyres illegal and one visible swing arm mark of chain adjustment left! All in all a very sad sight to see considering the pampered and polished baby I handed over
Still, it will give me something to keep me occupied between now and the summer, will sort her out bit by bit as funds become available with a target of June/July to get MOT and on the road. First stop new battery and fuel system flush so I can get the engine running
