-

Or get a loan of Pilningas's laser
put your shades on chaps !
My laser is shark mounted - mwwhahaha:

I would if I had a dremmel ,I got a jigsaw, would it cut it with a metal saw bit ? Or perhaps bolt cutters would be easier
take it of and cut it o with a hacksaw or file it away - a jigsaw would just make a mess.

FullpowerJoe, you now have three threads about this and i do feel maybee i need to give you a little input. There are some broken XJ6s out there in Breaker-land, so you might be able to find one. Your bike does not have carbs though - it is efi. Also 2009 and 2010 xj6 parts are the same, but fazer 600 parts most likely won't fit as it runs bigger throttle bodies (i think 36mm, against 32mm for the XJ6).
how big was the part? i'm guessing it's just the throttle cable pulley at the throttl-body end, that provides the restriction, mahybe with a different stop? can you not buy one from fowlers?
googling around reveals that the restriction costs £18 from yamaha, so it can be that much different?
if you can photograph the throttle pulley, i might be able to hlp further.

Have a good one OG, all the best.

yeah my neck of the wood. The old boy did the right thing. I remeber a few years back my old mans drive getting blocked, so i popped the lock on the offending motor and pushed it out of the way.
The problem for the old boy, is he did it when kids were around (the lazy cnut who blocked his garage was on the school run) and i think this meant his defence was weakened.
i think the old bill should have also prosecuted the obstructor too, but then Avon and Soms constubulary have a real indifference to alll sorts of poor parking.

mmm, weird. With LED tail light/brake lights, usually the with the brake on the LEDs glare and are too bright to look at for too long. With just tails it is not too bright.
guess there is a wiring issue then or the unit is faulty
-
I was wondering if anyone could help me. The LED tail light has three wires, the yamaha wiring has five. One for the tail light, one black and one coloured for both indicators. indicators work fine without both black wires not being connected. The problem i have is that the tail light stays red and doesn't turn off. Anyone got any ideas?
isn't it supposed to be on all-of-the-time? my XJ6 tail light and 'side' light were always on, if the ignition was on.

as a matter of point, doing a service yourself should not dishonour your warranty provided:
1) you use OEM parts.
2)you do it to the correct schedule (check-points)
3)you are a competent person.
on the OPs original point, i bought my XJ6 (now gone :-( )from devon, and phoned my local dealer about the initial 600mile service. They wanted about £120 (far better than the OPs quote- but still steep for a check-over and oil), so i thought id have a day in Devon and go down for the 'freebie' service [parts only charge].
the 6000 mile service i did myself, got hold of Yamaha's checklist and went through every point (checked it off etc). 'Stamped' the book with some watermark-style labels i made myself. I do not think yamaha UK would be able to not honour the warranty with full documentary evidence.
job was a gud-un til the bike met an untimely demise (damn renault meganes)
-
indeed I did look there.. All I found was a lighter that doesnt work and a empty pack of smokes... and the bike still doesnt run good lol
.... but on a serious note any suggestions as to what could be going on with thing?i'd say it sounds like knackered coils.
-
I bought this bike awhile back and have never gotten it to run right sometimes it will fire right up and hit on all 4 and some time it runs on 2 cylenders sometimes it wont run at all I did some reading on here and unplugged cleaned and plugged back in the connections from the coil it seemed to help for about a minute then it went back to its old ways. I also unplugged the connections for the Ignition box under the tank and when I plugged it back in it was better to but always goes back to running like crap any suggestions or advise would be greatly appreciated thanks
have you tried looking down the back of the sofa? when i lose things thats usually where they are.

A PROPER HELLO TO INTRODUCE YOURSELF IS GOOD FORM.
caps lock off, phew,
2 basic ways to block AIS off, depending on bike etc.
1.On your FZ1 (i assume) you can probably buy a graves block-off kit.
2.A pipe runs from the airbox to the exhaust valves, you can block this up. I used some thick plastic bag on my xj6. I have heard off people using a ball-bearing, a marble, sealant etc. Whatever you use make sure it cannot fall back into the airbox and do damage to the throttle bodies and inlet.

just read a review in an old copy of motor cycle news they say the same and make a comparison with vfr1200.
honda claim it will do 75mpg but dont mention top speed.
i just found the review that you mentioned - how feckin much? £4099? Are Honda insane? I paid that for my yam XJ6 (made in japan not thailand), which makes proper power (but can still be restricted etc), i have also been to george white today and they had gsr600 Suzs etc for under £4k new. Honda must have a very specific type of customer in mind if they think this will sell well in the UK.

no merv its worse,The all-new single cylinder CBR250R makes 26bhp from the new liquid-cooled, four-stroke, four-valve single cylinder engine, and weighs 162kg fully-fuelled and ready to ride, compared to the Ninja 250R’s claimed figures of 32.2bhp and 169kg.
made in thailand cheap to make but i cant see who they are aiming the bike at?
blimey, is that all it makes? looks the bizinez too - like a small vfr1200.
a bit more power, a bit less weight and it might make plenty of sense.
-
I wonder what bhp that makes?
got to be better than the somewhat-ridiculous CBR250RR of the ninties - 4 cylinder, with all that goes with it (carbs, plugs, leads etc), revving to infinity for a real-world 35hp, yet not a patch on the 2-stroke stuff.

I dont understand the English many of you are using here..rats on the moon???
is that an idiom?? How come rats on moon there's no atmosphere..day time temperature above boiling point and at night it goes below zero...Was just kidding but I dont understand much of the stuff people say here...I know there are some terms unique to your area..but for Buddha's sake...dont use them on bikes..hee heee
I wish to 3D model my bike...how's that?
i damn-near pissed myself reading this
- "Rats on the moon" comes from a contemporary TV adverts/commercial, it's actually "that's on the moon", but i think BWJ was poking fun at it, as it is said by a far-eastern guy: -
