FZS600 Fazer / Re: New inlet rubber for the carburetors
« on: 31 March 2018, 10:36:18 pm »
Yes I hear u about not potentially being a problem but I put a bit of liquid over the outer ones cracks and the fluid disappeared pretty quick so I suspect they are having some effect.
Inner ones also have visual cracks too.


But for 15 quid I'll give it a shot. And yes the cheap e bay ones look the same as the aliexpress ones! Same manufacturer at least.

My future fzs600 I pick up on Thursday also has this problem with cracked rubbers. My initial solution was to just cover up the cracks with liquid gasket high temp silicon but also tempted just to order some of the cheap chinese ones regardless- these perhaps?

Not seen any cheap ones on ebay but the above seem correct. Unsure of quality but as a replacement for 18yr old ones might just be the ticket...

FZS600 Fazer / Boxeye Headlights- fitting additional lighting- 12V LED spots x2 or HID?
« on: 29 March 2018, 10:54:36 am »
Hi All


Another day closer to getting my FZS600!!


Its a yr 2000 Boxeye that has had the double headlight mod done on it, but even then I know that the lighting is not the best on these models. It will be fitted with engine bars and this will provide a handy mounting point for some auxilliary lighting. I was thinking of some 12v LED spotlights (have some for my MTB for nighttime riding and they are pretty decent) and just wondered it


A. anyone else had done this
B. What cheap Chinese LED lights they would recommend?


Or alternatively could install a HID kit to the bike.


Open to your experiences and suggestions!


Cheers

Introduction / Hi folks! Back on the Fazer600 roundabout again!
« on: 28 March 2018, 03:45:48 pm »
Hi All


After having a Fzs600 as my first big bike, and having a few inbetween, I find myself almost in possession of another one, this time a 2000 FZS600 SP from a friend who is unable to ride at the moment due to family commitments!!....
Here she is! Needs an MOT,full service and a bit of TLC after having been lying in a garage for years (only 1200 miles in the last 5 years!) Started on the button tho, so that is a good sign!

« on: 17 March 2018, 09:40:27 am »
Hi


Re the fork mod- you mentioned the linear rate spring would be a pretty decent improvement on the original springs- can you send a link to a suitable model of spring for this? I am 75kg in my birthday suit so probably 85kg or so loaded up with gear.


The other thing is to make sure that these springs are compatible with the YSS emulators that MandP sell so if I want to go down that route in the future then I can!


Thanks in advance!

FZS600 Fazer / Fitting 2002-03 hugger to 2000 FZS600? Is this possible?
« on: 17 March 2018, 09:36:50 am »
Hi All


Very close to getting my (new to me) yr 2000 Fazer FZS600S!! Yippee! So far I have new tyres for it (BT-023), sprayed the rear wheel and ti bolts for the rear rotor. :-)


The only thing is it does not have a rear hugger. In our lovely climate I think this is essential and therefore I am on the hunt for one.  A popuar auction site has a 2002-3 rear hugger for good money on it but I know there are differences between the mounting points between this and my model. The question is can I mod the 2002/3 one to fit my version? Has anyone done this?


Cheers in advance!

FZS600 Fazer / Tyres- What age would you change tyre(s) at? AND....120 section on the front?
« on: 01 February 2018, 12:41:55 pm »
Hi All


Back on the fazer bandwagon again- after 9 years since owning my last 1999 FZS600!



Just about to acquire a Y2K FZS600SA with only 20.5K miles on the clock. Now the tyres on the bike are a few years old (6+ easy) and I was wondering at what sort of age you would consider replacing tyres that have not had a lot of use?


I have a 120/60/17 PR3 front unused tyre in the garage that I could fit on, but i know this is a slightly wider profile than standard spec and will in theory fit. So, this is a possible option.


Your opinions would be gratefully received!


Paul
