im 90% certain that you cant, unfortunately. and 900 divvy exhaust are either pricey (£400 for an aftermarket system) or as rare as dodo turds secondhand

be very aware, the jets on these wear-out. this results in the bike being so rich it wont even start. So you can have spark and wet plugs (which would indicate it should start) but no action. Take the airbox off and try starting it (be wary of backfires!). Removing the airbox may shift the mixture leaner. At this age assume the jets and needles need replacing anyway! these guys are about as cheap as it gets: http://www.allensperformance.co.uk/index.html ....and in my opinion (others may disagree) do not be tempted by a dynojet kit.

yeah, it guts me that the police to be working so hard, yet the justice system fails the public and the police to the point where it seems that they dont care about the consequences of these brazen law breakers.

Just watched motorway cops on bbc1. I do find those programs entertaining (not the awful american cop shows tho!). But it pissed me off at the end, is there anypoint in wasting money on a police force, if what they do achieves sod-all. One chinese illegal imigrant got 3 points and £75 fine for no license. Anothe guy who fled the scene of a crash (which utilised several police units and closed one side of the motorway) got off scott-free as there was insufficient evidence and a guy in a nicked motor got a community sentence (probably didnt turn up) even though he nicked a car and caused a -mile tailback. A polish lorry drive who fucked a biker up, got charged with careless driving, but has buggered off back to poland (utter disgrace). It really got up my nose for all that hassle and work by the police the outcome is totally ineffective in preventing this stuff from happening. really wonder why i tax, insure and mot my car and bike, might as well not bother and risk a paltry fine or even just get away with it.

welcome. we got too many sweaty socks on here lol

the FZ1 is a stonking bike, but you say you want to tour (continentally). you would be better looking at a faired motorcycle. The FZ1 would probably give you neck ache on longer high speed journeys. Its a biked aimed at people who wanna go out on a sunday afternoon and do a good blast and is not aimed at long distance work (it could im sure).

its a catch 22, if you talk to him and he doesnt listen to wat you say and carries on with his stupidity, then when you do something outside of the law, he is gonna know it is you and may well call the police in. All you need is a little evidence and bang your in a load of shit with the law. iv had this problem before and its almost better not to speak to people, as these chavs couldnt careless about other people.

what do you mean by a diagram? the access nozzles for manifold vacuum are on the inlet manifolds, and the ajdustment screws are on the adjustable pivots that link the carbs. my mates divvy takes about 25 mins to balance start to finish. access is pretty good.

welcome dude

i spoke to a copper before i sent my license off for a change of address, he said photocopy ur license and then he signed it for me with the date and his number. gave me peace of mind, though to be fair i didnt have a problem. the dvla are an utter disgrace, and their attitude to loss of entitlement is disgusting

DUDE DONT SHOUT! thats better, check this out: http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/YAMAHA-XJ600-CLOCK-A...id=p3286.c0.m14

Igniter is the Cd unit on these bikes. How old are the coils? might be worth replacing those, having said that there tends to be lots of igniters on ebay (make sure it is the correct one). If you have a haynes manujal you can test the impedances of the coils, its not perfect but it can show up a dodgy coil from time-to-time. Check connections carefully as other electrical faults may mean the igniter does not output a LT voltage. good luk

Did it run smoothly, before it stopped? my guesses is maybe worn main jets (makes the bike to rich to fire), try from cold with no choke to see if it starts. But probably dodgy 'lectrics! check plugs, coils and leads. good luck

lol

no exup on the fzr600, sounds more like worn jets to me.

Happy to help but - - what is a yzf 600 genisis? do you mean an FZR600 or a thundercat? - It ticks over but it won't fire. Do you mean it turns over but wont start? or do you mean it idles, but it wont take a blip of the throttle? Sorry to sound patronising, but further details would be useful! btw Welcome to this forum, i like it cos there is loads of variety!

i once did 300 miles on an RXS 100 in one day. Small bikes can be tiring in that sense, i do that sort of mileage on my FZR1000 without thinking about it. Should be easy enough, just unless it is vital, avoid motorways on a bike of that size if possible, as it is very tiresome riding a small bike on the m-way. Also at this time of year, be aware you may get very cold over timne and you may not notice it. Wear appropriate gear have fun 2

things to start with (maybe): blocked breather (common on trailies) knackered spark plug (v. common on 2 strokes) Loose or corroded electrical connections. the DT experts on here may know better than me! (i havent had a 2 stroke for yonks!)

Fazer is the faired one, FZ1 is the unfaired bike.

T-hrottle P-ostion S-ensor. It is a sensor located on the shaft that opens the throttle butterflies in the carburetors. It tells the ecu indirectly what load is on the engine, so that the ECU can adjust the amount of spark advance. It will have 3 or 4 wires (via a socket), a refernce 12v or 5v, a 0v, either 1 signal wire or 2 signal wires. It is a potentiometer and will output signals (usually) that are a linear voltage that is directly proportional to angular displacement of the throttle butterfly shaft. In essence it tells the bike what your right hand is doing as you ride! You could check the contacts etc, and if you have the wiring diagrams see if it is getting +12v/5v (delet as appropriate) and whether is it giving a variable signal (of course check the 0v too). I'd be consulting a Haynes Comic myself for technical spec if you are unsure.

just surmising as i have never had any experience with cats, but maybe tps? you can check the tps quite easily and its a fualt that will probably thro a fault code on the Rev counter.

no expert, but if you got video evidence, why not pursue your losses thru a small claims court? i await correction!

how on earth does a 2000 mile old 4-stroke 125 seize?

each carb is seviceable with the carbs joined together, to do the jet job you do not need to separate the carbs. The carbs only tend to be a pain if you have to disconnect them from each other. if you are happy to do the job, get (buy, beg, borrow or steal) a set of carb balancers and do that while you are in there.

you could try fowl-ups: fowlers.co.uk, they are near me but they do next day delivery for the rest of UK
