I put a 30 litre bag on the seat and strap it. No worries whatsoever. Could be an issue with a very large overhanging bag I guess, but in what situation would you need say 60+ l with that bike. There are also good after market rear racks if you really need it.

I’ve ridden both, the Fz6 is definitely more racy. The power spikes quite aggressively above 8k rpm. Where as the pre 03 fazer has a much more user friendly flat power curve but still plenty of power. Some people prefer it to the Fz6, for that reason

@lawts124016 күн бұрын
I find that often after slackening the axle nut, a tight or seized axle can be holding the other side adjuster rock solid and there is a risk of stripping the adjuster bolt or the swing arm thread as a result. I therefore recommend giving the axle nut a strike with a copper hide or rubber hammer to make sure the axle isn’t seized in the wheel and to alleviate the tension on the other side ready for adjustment. If the axle remains tight in the wheel due to corrosion etc, then it’s best to remove the wheel to clean and grease the axle prior to adjusting the chain. 👍

Hopefully you can answer this…. My motorcycle only has 2000 miles on it, but I had a tiny oil leak. It goes into the shop running great, but it comes out with the oil leak fixed but now it’s knocking. Not bad but enough to notice it. What could they have possibly done to cause this knocking ? They also did the second service that included an oil change. They claim they did not make any valve’s adjustments. I hate that it’s making this kind of noise when it’s just broken in.
@FabMotorbikes24 күн бұрын
Can you tell me where the knocking is coming g form exactly?
@ginoasci287624 күн бұрын
@@FabMotorbikes : if I’m close to the engine with my ears it sounds like it’s deep inside. Hard to tell if it’s top or bottom end. It doesn’t sound like valves because it’s not a ting sound (high pitch) but more of a two very solid metals hitting each other. (Low tone knock) It does not seem to be coming from the transmission. I can hear the low tone knock from both cylinders. As if it’s deep inside and radiating out. It’s a 2022 Triumph Scrambler 1200xc. Same engine they used in 90% of their bikes. There was an older triumph with 8000 miles at a gas station and he started it, and I did not hear that sound. I’ve watch just about all the video on KZbin BEFORE purchasing this bike and ZERO people complained about the engine. It’s a great engine. This starts 35 seconds after I start the engine, and almost goes away but not quite two minutes into warm up. So it’s not instantaneous, and it doesn’t go completely away because I can hear it while riding. Specifically in forth gear and just cruising, say fourth mph. Most people wouldn’t hear it, but I studied the sounds from day one because the exhaust is stock and not loud, and I don’t ride with music, so I listen to everything this bike does. This engine did not knock. There’s also a clunk coming from the swing-arm over a hard bump, which may be the chain, but this isn’t my problem. If during the service the mechanic did not make any adjustment during the second service, then it might be the low grade fuel as you suggested. I did find that this engine runs fine on 93 octane but does not like to start on 93 octane. I keeps turning over but eventually starts. It starts and runs great on 87 octane. So I go with the 87. Location of noise is solid, deep, low tone, heard from both sides. Although could very well be at the piston. And thanks again.

@@ginoasci2876 I have seen a similar thing in the past. It was a cbf250. The bike was almost brand new but it had a knocking because the wrong type of oil was used and there was not enough. This might be worth checking as a first port of call that won’t cost you much.

Loved watching your Scotland Tour….not sure if you did or not, but you should check out the whiskey trails. I remember as a kid my Father taking his friends visiting (from overseas) to all the distilleries that opened up to the public. That said, this would have been 30yrs ago or more so I’m sure only a handful still exist open to the public, but well worth a ride if for nothing else one gets a ‘wee dram’ at the end of the tour 😂
