Headlights not working.

While on a short road trip it was brought to my attention that my headlights weren't working. Bulbs are ok, fuses are ok. Took to the dealership and they said the headlights run to the start switch, and that switch was bad. switch $228.29, 2 hours labor @ 70$ an hour. My manual doesn't show the head...

Re: Getting some work done...

no, not at all. But the seals have been broken since i've got them, so my compare isn't that great.

I don't feel any wobble, and the brakes feel fine.

It's just the dust cover doesn't seat properly.

Re: Getting some work done...

It came with seals but the wear is on the inside of the fork. They are just kinda loose. No big deal just have to push on it a little before riding or in the middle of a long ride... They wound up not taking them apart again.

Re: Getting some work done...

Thanks for the responses everyone. Just heard back from them. I'm not "leaking" but my dust seal is keeping the forks to seat properly? It was leaking for a while and there are 26,000miles on the bike, so to me this seems possible. They are charging me 390$ for everything, the break down goes like t...

Re: Getting some work done...

Maybe 4 hours are including the front brake pads, oil change, checking cables, chain adjust... He also took it for a test ride...

Getting some work done...

Hey, just wanted to touch base with you guys about some work being done to make sure I'm not being screwed. Put my bike in the shop late sunday (so they started on it monday). It's still cold here (~40*) so there weren't any other bikes at the dealership (yamaha dealer). My front fork seal(s) were l...

Anyone in the Southern NJ area?

Hey guys. I'm new to the community and would like to catch up with some fellow riders! It'd be super awesome if someone was able to show me around the bike a little and give it a look over to see if something is about to fall off and get me killed =x I'm riding a '93 FZR600 with 24,000 on the ticker...

Re: FZR600 runs hot when left idling?

i'm not a huge bike expert, but while stationary there is no air moving through the radiator to help cool the engine. When you start moving the air flows through the front of the bike and to the inside to help cool everything off. Is the temperature going all the way up to the red zone? If not I wou...

High Beams work, but not low beams

Hey- I just got a used 1993 FZR600- when I purchased the bike I remembered to check both low and high beams and they work. But riding the bike at night tonight I noticed that my low beams didn't work, but my high beams did. When I got home both headlights come on for the high beams, but nothing for ...
