FZS600 Fazer / Multi bike insurance policy
« on: 31 January 2012, 07:33:02 pm »
Years ago I used to have multi bike policies, i think it was with Bennetts. Can anyone recommend a broker who still does multi bike policies? I'm paying out for three separate policies now, and its starting to get expensive, as I can only ride one at a time!!  :eek

FZS600 Fazer / Carb kits
« on: 22 January 2012, 08:12:50 pm »
I got a quote from Yamaha for a new float needle and brass seat for my fazer, after  my bike started dumping fuel out of the carb every time I turned it off. They wanted £43.00 inc VAT, which for such a tiny (but very important) item, I thought was a bit dear. I found a company on ebay called 'Bike Business' who do a complete carb repair kit, with float needle, brass seat, gaskets and o rings for £10!! and theyre made in Japan. I was a bit dubious at first, but I thoght what the hell and bought 4 kits and did all 4 carbs for less than the price of one yamaha one! Touch wood shes been fine for weeks and runs like a dream. Worth a look if you want to save pennies!  :)

FZS600 Fazer / Whats the highest recorded mileage on a FZS600??
« on: 17 January 2012, 07:34:43 am »
I know the fazer 600 can handle a good few thousand miles, theres one on eBay sitting at 68,000 miles and apparently still going strong. Anyone clocked over 100,000 yet on the same engine without any major catastrophies??? I'm a firm believer in regular oil & filter changes with good quality oil, and as Ive just bought my 1999 Fazer with only 9,000 miles on I'm hoping its going to last me a good few years yet!!!! :)

FZS600 Fazer / One of the best bikes I think Ive owned!
« on: 10 January 2012, 07:31:28 pm »
I've got to say that out of nearly all the bikes I've owned over the last 20 odd years (and I've had a few as I'm always chopping and changing!) my fazer 600 is one of the best all round bikes I think I've ever had.
I bought in November it as a non runner for £1350 with 9,000 miles on, its a T reg 1999. A quick strip and clean out of the carbs, new battery, tyres and a service and what a bike! I do all the work myself so have saved a fortune and I believe I got a good deal after looking on ebay and bike trader I cant find a fazer that cheap with that mileage in such good condition!
I use the bike every day as a commuter into London around 80 miles a day and its so comfortable, I'm 5'11 and get no aches or pains. It goes like a rocket for a 600 and handles really well, and the brakes are superb (well the front one is) the back could do with an overhaul but is ok for now.
The only mods I've done is fit heated grips, the headlight mod, a delkevic Stainless can and a rear hugger.
Absolutely love it!
Sorry for going on about it for so long, I just had to say what a F**king marvellous bike for the money. :rollin

FZS600 Fazer / Throttle Position Sensor test. Please Help!!!!
« on: 08 January 2012, 05:24:40 pm »
Ive just fitted some heated grips to my bike,(1999 FZS600) gone up the road everything fine, then all of a sudden ive got a missfire on cyl no4. I switched it off, then disconnected the TPS and put the ignition on, and I get a reading of 3000rpm every couple of seconds, then back to zero then 3000 again. Any ideas what that code means?  :'(

FZS600 Fazer / Heated Grips
« on: 06 January 2012, 07:38:32 am »
I've got a 1999 FZS600 and I need to fit my oxford heated grips, but dont want to wire them straight off the battery as they can be switched on without the ignition being on. If  I wire them to the switched side of the main ignition switch so that they only work with the ignition on, will the main fuse be ok to protect the circuit or do I need an additional fuse? :rolleyes

FZS600 Fazer / Delkevic end can
« on: 08 December 2011, 01:12:37 pm »
Can anyone recommend the Delkevic end can, it looks the nuts on the internet pics! Is it loud? Is the build quality any good? Is it still in good condition after a few wet rides? Ive just seen them on ebay for £119.99 with the link pipe, and that seems a fair price including 12 months warranty.
My finger is hovvering above the 'BUY IT NOW' button!!!! Tell me its worth getting.... :D

FZS600 Fazer / Fairing Swap
« on: 29 November 2011, 07:20:52 am »
Hi,
Has anyone swapped a FZS600 Mk1 fairing for the Mk2 version? Is it fairly straight forward or are they massively different in the way they mount to the bike??
Just wondered...... :rollin

Introduction / Hello all !!
« on: 14 November 2011, 10:29:05 pm »
Hi, ive just bought a nearly non running fazer 600 1999 so in the process of taking carbs off to clean them. The bike has been sitting around for years and theres rust in the tank, fuel lines and carbs..... oh goody!!!
 
I owned a fazer 1000 a couple of years ago and loved it, and yes I had it Ivans kitted up too by Mike from Spain.
 
I also own a Harley Iron to calm me down a bit!
 
Good site keep up the good work. :)
