Hello all,

Just registered, thought it the polite thing to do :)
Picked up my (FZS) Fazer about a month ago.

Have for a long time fancied a "naked" bike - the Fazer won, after mulling over the usual favourites... Bandits, Hornets, unfaired Sports bikes, etc.
My previous bike was a Ninja ZX6R Supersport.

Loving the Fazer, have already started on some subtle styling changes, to "enhance" / modernise.
Losing the 90's fairing (ok not so subtle), installed a KOSO Digital Speedo, new Headlight, (Streetfighter oriented tweaks)...

Looks a great active forum, looking forward to spending more time here! Cheers.

FILZ6:
Hello.
Yeah nice helpful forum going on here.
Keep us all up to date with your mods etc. Its good to know what other people are doing, trying out.
Photos are a nice addition though. ☺

F4celess:
Thanks for your response FILZ6 .

Will drop a few Posts on any (major) Mods that take place.  :thumbup
Although I'm sure it's been done a 1000+ times already. :)  (removing fairing / aftermarket headlight etc. Then it comes down to more subtle 'upgrades')...

When I had the ZX6R, you don't really remove the fairings, unless the bike gets trashed. Then without fairings, ppl tend to know its a Sports bike that's likely slid down the road a few times.  :D

However the Fazer appears best of both worlds. "Naked" from the start, plus with Sports looks/performance thrown in. Certainly offers alot more scope.  8)

Hi Chris, mine is a 99 FZS 600.

KOSO are the brand to look into, if you want a great quality, reliable Digital speedo unit.
There are loads of Chinese "clones" selling on ebay that look very similar. MUCH cheaper. However their reliability and build quality are questionable.

There are also Speedo units that offer 20+ functions, however when you look at what you are presented with on the standard Yamaha speedo, there's only several features/sensor readings. So I saw no reason to go for something OTT, where only half the Dials and warning lights will actually be utilised.

You'd tap into the original Speedo wiring loom. I soldered my connections, so the original Connector is still present + functional (if ever needed).
