FZS600 Fazer / Vibration when slowing down
« on: 21 July 2013, 12:22:09 pm »
Hi all, I've just returned from a trip to France on my 1999 FZS600, and it performed faultlessly over 800 miles of great riding. It didn't even use a drop of oil!
The only problem if any is this:
Following new tyres being fitted before I went I felt the bars were slightly off straight so I adjusted the rear alignment accordingly, all great! I only rode it 8 miles from my mates house back home and checked the chain, and it was too tight following our alignment altering. I re did it all and it was fine.
BUT: I've noticed that when slowing down, especially at lower revs with no throttle, I seem to get some vibration through the bike. It also seems to vibrate at around 70mph but clears at 75 to 80 which I think it may have always done though.
Has anyone got any ideas on this? The chain is well lubed and seems free enough on the links, and I've checked the sprocket nuts for tightness too.
Just a note too: all of you check your throttle position sensor! It's easy to do and made a vast difference to low speed riding and low down acceleration.
Many thanks!

FZS600 Fazer / Fan fuse blowing
« on: 06 May 2013, 01:23:51 am »
Hi all,
 
Just been out for a great 225 miles around north Wales today and although the bike performed flawlessly I do have a slight recurring problem.
Once again the fan fuse has blown, although I doubt the engine got hot enough to turn it on as I was never stuck in traffic at all.
This has happened before, so I fitted a simple switch to over-ride the sensor just in case.
Now I'm not sure if its the sensor breaking down to earth ( I know its switching a positive to the motor ), or if it's the motor itself.
Has anyone else had a fan fuse problem on a 600 ?
Many thanks, your input would be most appreciated,
Keith.

Hi all, after a ride of 50 miles or so today, and a good 6 hrs after getting home, I'm in the garage and hear a ' trickle '. There appears a small puddle on the left of the centre stand, which came from an overflow pipe above. It seems to go onto a splitter, then into a plastic box behind the carbs underneath the battery tray area. Is there any reason for this, and is it normal? I changed the coolant last week, but the levels are spot on tonight after the first ride in  about a month.
Can anyone put my mind at rest?!
Thanks, Keith.

FZS600 Fazer / Brakes!
« on: 29 January 2013, 10:02:31 pm »
Hi all, I'm new to the forum, new to the Fazer, and new to motorcycling full stop!
Could anyone suggest brake pads for the fazer 600 1999, I use the bike for mainly dry weekend rides, although I'm off to France on it in July.
I'm dubious about cheap pads and don't know what was fitted as standard, GG or HH. But can cheap pads really be that bad, I don't know?!
Any input would be greatly appreciated.
Many thanks fellow Fazer owners.
Keith.

Introduction / Hi all !
« on: 28 January 2013, 12:31:24 am »
Hi all other Fazer owners, I'm a newly DAS biker and have proudly taken ownership of a virtually mint Fazer FZS600, 1999.
I got the bike last october before passing my test, and have enjoyed fettling ever since!
I'm sure there's loads of info on here that'll help me over the coming months / years, and I hope I can put a bit back in too!
It's being prepared for my first trip to France in July at the moment, Givi luggage all sorted, and general service items covered, I think!
