Hi all

Hi everyone.

I just thought I would say Hi as I have just bought a 1994 M600 after about 5 years without a road bike. The last one (of 25 or so) was an FZR1000 EXUP.

I'm nearly 50 years old with 27 years in the saddle on and off. I bought the Monster without an MOT for £900 which I thought was a bit of a bargain. It's only done 7500 miles and this is born out by the stack of MOTs I got with the bike. I will be putting quite a few more on it as I work 40 miles from home.

It needed new fork seals and speedo cable, so I fitted them yesterday - easy job. It also had a seized choke cable - bitch of a job! Those carbs are a tad inaccessible are they not?

After fixing those and changing the brake fluids I took it for a spin and it was fantastic. It's great to be back on a bike and the Monster is a terrific bit of kit. But you all know that already.

I now need to reduce the idle speed, but finding the adjuster is a task in itself with the airbox fitted. MOT is booked for this afternoon so fingers crossed.

TTFN

Hello there Glen and a big welcome to the club

Hiya Freebird and welcome to the club which is helpful and knowlegeable ! I saw your mention of idle adjustment - to do mine I lie under the front of the bike and the adjustment screw is up there under the front of the tank in the middle and once you locate it it's easy enough to just give it a slight turn with your trusty screw driver for adjusting. Hope you love your bike as much as I love mine !
Tom

Thank guys

I found the adjuster and sorted it.

Next to the carb balancing screw, make sure you get the right one!

Yeah, good advice, I didn't at first - think I may need to balalnce the carbs now.
