FZS600 Fazer / Tyre time
« on: 22 November 2012, 11:57:20 pm »
I know this is probably a recurring thread in various flavours, but I thought I'd ask anyway:

The tyres on my Fazer are (for want of a better phrase) dead. Unevenly worn, bald patches, cracks - you name it, they have it! Problem is, I am completely and utterly skint (will need to borrow money to replace them. Hell, will need to borrow money for food!!). I have Continental RoadAttack2s fitted front & rear, plan to replace both.

I've found Maxxis Supermax touring tyres at £152 bundle price. Could you please a) tell me what your views are on the Maxxis (and which tyres are best for the Fazer), and b) if you can find cheaper for a (literally) starving student!!

Thanks!

FZS600 Fazer / Re: Headlamps - improvements?
« on: 22 November 2012, 01:06:48 pm »
Thanks, I'll be sure to look those up!

My pet project for my Fazer is going to be the headlamp. I'm thinking of linining the outside and the lower frames with blue or white LEDs, and possibly fitting Angel Eyes to the normal bulb housings. The LEDs would take the place of the running light.

This is the effect I'm working towards:

FZS600 Fazer / Headlamps - improvements?
« on: 21 November 2012, 11:43:04 pm »
Hi!

I was wondering if anyone had found a good way to improve the headlamps on the  square eye Fazer (without going full Foxeye)? Back on the Varadero 125 forum I used to be on, a few people had installed HIDs to their bikes to improve the awful performance from the stock setup. Has anyone done anything similar to the Fazer?

I plan on rebuilding the headlamp assembly over Christmas, but would appreciate any advice from those who've been there and done it!

Cheers!

hi chris, my fzs is restricted as well, still not a bad ride though.  welcome.

Don't know what you were on before, but the Fazer makes the Honda XL125V Vara look like a warthog by comparison! And mine was modded for performance to boot!

Looks awesome! Where did you find the full bodywork kit? I'm tempted to try something similar myself now!  :rollin

FZS600 Fazer / Re: Luggage from a Fazer 1000 on an FZS600?

The rack won't be a direct fit

What differences would there be? Width, length, height? I ask because I do quite a few miles to get home (Northern France) after my Uni term, and would prefer something tougher than the soft bags I have at the moment. And something that'll be cheap to buy and modify (if needed).  :)

FZS600 Fazer / Luggage from a Fazer 1000 on an FZS600?
« on: 20 November 2012, 02:17:58 pm »
Hi all,

I've found a rather nice set of hard luggage for a 2003 Fazer 1000, complete with rack on the interwebs, and was wondering whether this would fit my 2001 FZS600?

The ad says they're made by Krauser.

Many thanks!

For Sale & Wanted / Wanted: a mudguard
« on: 14 November 2012, 07:22:14 am »
Hi

I'm on the lookout for a black mudguard for a 2001 600. The previous owners seemed to be keen on dropping my bike; the indicators are quite roughed up, and part of the front mudguard's been hacked off. And the mud in my face is getting irritating.

Thanks!  :)

Hi!

I picked up my Fazer on Saturday from HGB in Ruislip. Only had it 2 days, already loving it!

I am an 18yr old engineering student at the University of Hertfordshire, but live in Northern France (hence why I traded in a Vardero 125 for the FZS).

The bike is a black 2001 FZS600, and goes pretty well (though I've had to have it restricted. Dang it). It's got a belly pan, hugger and part of the front mudguard chopped off (will be fixing that soon).

So yeah... Hello!  :)
