For me I love reading Lee Child books based on Jack Reacher. Most bikers could relate to his character in the books, he's a sort of wandering tough guy, hitch hiking across America aimlessly, he's a bit of a dark hero, but always does the right thing in the end and the action is awesome!

I bought some army Panniers a few years ago and they have served me very well. All I use is a couple of cable tidies and bungee cords, simple and cheap.

Does anyone know of a list or have a link to Torque settings for a FZS600? 98-02 model? It would be very helpful thanks.

I know there's all sorts of statistics out there, so I apologise if this figure is incorrect. I heard somewhere that all bikes nicked with the intention of shipping to Europe makes the thief £500 quid "per unit". If correct then whether your bike is worth £1000 or £20,000, the thief gets only a fraction of the bike's true value! Not that they will give a toss, £500 to them is still a good pay day for a day's work.
After been the victim of bike theft myself, i've become paranoid about security. I'm in the process of moving house from a two bedroom house without a garage, to a three bed with a garage. At the moment i'm keeping my Fazer locked in my dad's garage, but when I make the move i'm going to be putting a ground anchor in, alarm, upgrading the garage door security, gps tracker etc. My dad thinks i'm being excessive spending all that money to secure a £1600 bike, but to me it is my pride and joy! I don't want to risk giving another thieving little shit the satisfaction of ripping me off, if anything I want any "would be" thief to take one look at the security set up and keep on walking! 9

I thought i'd share the good news, the idiot who stole my bike ended up with 4.5 years behind bars. I'm pretty jappy with that result!

Lew I couldn't agree with you more, any parent who encounters a nonce, trying to do god knows what to his or her child deserves every injury coming to them or worse, and I work in a Courtroom!! You should have had people lining up to shake your hands, not cuff them! 11
General / Re: Footballer Ched Evans« on: 10 January 2015, 11:52:41 am »
Wherever Evans goes in the footballing world in his search for employment, he will never get that monkey off his back. What he should do is go down the legal route and do things properly. No matter how much he pulls the puppy dog eyes, as it stands he is a convicted rapist, pure and simple. He shouldn't attempt to convince people of his innocence until he has gone down the proper appeal process. If he is exonerated then he has every right to walk around in the public eye as much as he wants, with his head held high!

Thanks guys, I was set on a black bike again but I found the Silver one and I couldn't resist and i'm pretty happy with the deal. I'm supposed to be going on a ride today, because my mates are keen for me to get back in the group with them but it's so windy it's putting me off.

General / Finally Back On The Road!!« on: 09 January 2015, 07:17:28 pm »
Well It's been over 6 months since a piece of scum nicked my beautiful black FZS600, but i'm finally back on two wheels! I spent many hours looking at all sorts of options; Hondas, Kawasakis, Triumphs etc, but at the end of the day I just couldn't resist getting back on a Fazer. It's the bike I love, the bike I had wanted since I was 13 and I have no regrets with sticking to what I know.
It's a beauty with only 13K on the clock and in mint condition, most importantly it is living locked away in my dad's garage, until I get my own built which will be around 3 months time. It's great to be a Focer again!! 14

Hi there,
Some of you may remember I had my Fazer 600 stolen, I have decided to go on the look out for a replacement, is anyone here looking to sell? Ideally I would like a box eye FZS600 in Black. Let me know if interested. Thanks James. 20
General / Re: **BELOVED YAMAHA FAZER FZS600 STOLEN !! **« on: 02 September 2014, 09:11:55 pm »Might have missed where you said it but what sort of condition was the bike in when you got it back? It was in an awful condition, totally written off after a head on smash. The rider was critically injured I think he bought the bike cheap off the thief. 21

General / Re: **BELOVED YAMAHA FAZER FZS600 STOLEN !! **« on: 01 September 2014, 10:35:14 pm »Haha that's brilliant . Let's hope they lock him up longer this time ... Yep, I hope so. He is facing 13 offences in total on top of the fact he was on probation. I have been advised that the cops are doing their best to throw the book at him. I wish they could throw away the key, he's just some dead beat bum who can't change his behaviour apparently! 23

So I got a call from the Police the other week. They have arrested a scum bag, for thieving my Fazer! He is denying everything but luckily for me he is the world's dumbest criminal. It turns out the idiot (who at the time was on probationary release from prison) was wearing a Police ankle bracelet. The fucking idiot thought the battery had run out and decided to go out and rob as many vehicles as he could. What he didn't realise is that the GPS tracker around his foot was fully functional and the cops have a complete record of his whereabouts from the moment he left his house!
To make things even worse for him I showed the Police a speeding fine to pile on the pressure, which when linked up with his ankle tracker showed him at the exact location and time of the speeding offence being commited! See you in Court mate!! 24

[/quote] That surprises me. I like the way it looks retro 70's sort of thing, real sort of muscle bike. A mate of mine sold his SV650, bought a Bandit 1200, hated it, sold it and returned to an SV650. Which is what I'm thinking of doing with the Fazer if needs be. What makes the ZRX seem a poor choice to a FZS600 in your opinion? 25
General / Re: **BELOVED YAMAHA FAZER FZS600 STOLEN !! **« on: 10 June 2014, 11:03:31 pm »ok I know this is unlikely but the bloke thats crashed the bike ! are we a bit quick to judge ? Buying it in good faith without the V5 document to back up a genuine sale? He would have to be pretty stupid to fall for that one! He knew it was stolen mate. |
