Hi all, 44 year old new biker, passed my test in December last year (No, its not a mid-life crisis, just something I always wanted to do but didn't get round to it!  Can't believe I didn't do it sooner!!!) looked around on ebay for a bike and low and behold found a Fazer FZS600 '99' plate.  Took it for a test ride and haven't looked back!  Fortunately I've got some great biker mates who are helping me and guiding me (Checked over the bike and changed the front pads) as I have very limited technical/engineering knowledge.  Loving the Fazer!  Great ride home from work in the sun!  Stay safe fellow Fazer lovers!!

Hi all, I'm a recent FZS600 99 plate purchaser and enjoying it immensely!  However I'm not very experienced or tech savy in the servicing department to say the least!  I have been experiencing a problem with the electrics cutting out!!  It's not happening all the time and is very intermittent.  Sometimes when I pull up the engine cuts out with no electrics or lights on the dash.  I can usually get it started again by switching the engine stop on/off and firing it up.  Other times the engine keeps running but I notice the odometer and the rev counter have died for a few seconds and fluctuate on/off.  This has also happened when I've been travelling at speed.  I suppose the lights might be going off as well but due to mainly riding during the day, don't know for sure!
 
Any ideas?  laymans terms pls
