Hi there.
Just bought a 2002 FZS600 which I pick up Monday! Cant wait, have heard good things about these bikes
Any things I should know? I'm aware of the front fender extender I need to get ( best one to buy?).Any further things I should know?
Any help would be gratefully received.
Thanks

I had a pyramid front fenda extender on my 600. Worked fine, but I imagine the cheaper ones are just as good.

have a look here:

search for "front sprocket nut". there is a known issue with these on the 600's. Yamahe released a different designed nut (12mm wide as opposed to 9mm). pop the sprocket cover off and have a look which one yours has got, and consider changing it if its 9mm wide. there are loads of threads with pictures and info about it if you search though :)

I think  thats BMC1 (Blue Metallic Cocktail 1), but if you look on the frame under the seat you should find a sticker with the model number and paint code I believe.
