Have a look at the new cbf 125 cheap as chips better than the cg 125 i had 3 off them , but any 2 stroke 125 will leave this in a cloud off smoke before you get in 2nd gear, but if you want a bike that is easy to ride nice looking cheap to service and run ,2years waranty free break down cover for a year, paid £1750 for mine.

just one a fz600 fuel tank old new stock retail £340 for £47.00 looks like its just come out of factory, would have cost me more to get my old one re painted , well happy.

I rember last year i had the same problem 2 weeks to get a spark, i took the wife out for a meal as she had 2 weeks of hell, have you not tried to start it yet, then you will be happy when it fires up goog luck hobbo

I had a full set made by a company called image works for a 1987 fz600 , I think it was £65.00 delivered but it was a full set have a look at there web site via google hopes this helps

[ Hi ,brandon the fz 600 was my first bike after passing my test many years age i can understand how excited you are to be riding a big bike, after 6months of riding the bike things whent bang in a big way the timing chain snapped a nearly had me off the bike stayed in the garage the the next 7 years then decided to do some thing about it, engine had to be replaced £150 the bike refused to start and no spark at the plugs , replaced coils, ht leads, spark plugs , genarator, regulator, ignition switch, starter switch, digital box checked all the connectors on loom and cleaned up, checked resistence with good digital oms meters,new battery, cleaned up the carbs , and buy your self a good manual as they have most of the testing data you will need, the bike does run now but not as i would like it carb balance next i think, if you are going to restore this bike i can tell you its not cheap i could of had a good second hand fz for what i have spent on this bike but thats not what i wanted, if you go to the search bar a put fz600 in it will show you all the old posts on this model , ileft one some time ago with the resistance data for testing the electrical parts , and there are some with the same problem with no spark at the plugs took me 2 weeks to get a weak spark there other items you can check on old post like side stand switch, engine cut out swith etc etc. hope this helps hobbo

Hi, just rebuilt fz600 front forks but do not understand what puting 6 lb into forks does, manual said this the amount is correct but can i add more as i do not understand the principle off air assisted forks. thanks Hobbo.

yes your wright i was going to buy a car as as all my friends think i am mad to drive in this weather but im not the one stuck in traffic and have to sleep in ther cars

thanks, but im a all weather biker snow rain fog ice this is the only year that has stopped me in 10 years, when you get to 50 you have to think about the pension and hope i can live to enjoy it.

picked up my cbf125 yesterday as my old cg125 workbike with over 50,000 miles on it needs to much work to keep on the road, so much better than the cg fills bigger than it is and overall a nice bike hope to get fz600 on road this year

hi i have a fz 600 the same sort of engine some small differences, i to have add 12v power pack to get the bike running i have replaced the coils plugs leads and plugs new battery checked the charge from the generator cleaned cabs checked resistence of coils etc, i have used easy start this does help but not ideal, does the battery show any input when running as mine goes flat from a full charge i think i have tracked it down to the rectifier regulator being at fault , and use digital oms tester . hope this helps dave

replaced my fz600 fork seals and used a piece of accetate to to slip new seals down fork leg and used a piece of plastic pipe to tap new seal in, or slide the old seal ontop of the new seal and tap in, i think a socket is to hard to tap them in and i think you may of used to much force, hope this helps

Hi i am rebuliding my fz600 1987 forks, i want to make the front springs a bit stiffer i have heared that i can put some spacers to stiffen the springs as i do not want to buy new ones does any one know how thick the spacers can be i was told 15-20mm should be ok and thicker oil will help thanks dave.

When i was looking for some fairing parts found a guy on ebay who could supply, nose cone £45.00, pair lowerside panels£90.00, upperside panels £40.00 total £195.0 £15.0 P/P. I think they are fiberglass do not know what the quality is like said he would need 2 weeks to make and supply said he had mouldes for most bikes ,most of the old plastic on ebay will be naff and will need a lot of work plastic welding which does not com cheap can dig out info and contacts if you want, just received full set of decals for£65.00 look good quality to me, ps all fixings will have to be drilled on the farings as they dont come pre drilled. hope this helps.

Does any one know the name of the red used on 1986/87 yamahas painted on wheels and fuel tanks, i have been told it is OOFH fire red or stormy red, or post office red, i tried colorrite.com for paint code great for later bikes but not before 1990, i have just had made a full set of decals made for £65.0 so i dont want to get it wrong can give you web site if any one intrested, the bike is taking so long to put back together as most parts naff and having to replace or rebuld parts ,took 2 weeks just to get spark at the plugs took wife and family out celabrate the occasion.
