FZS600 Fazer / Re: What have you done to your FZS600 bike today
« on: 21 January 2016, 08:27:59 pm »
Started the Fazer up today for the first time since about October last year after a failed attempt last week. It was an inconvenience for it to say the least but after a couple minutes it was running sweet as ever.


Has anyone had any experience with these downpipes? Tempted to get a set to go with the end can I put on last year, will they improve anything other than looks....acceleration, sound etc...?

I've been looking into this myself as I want to replace the hoses on mine.


Any news from the seller on ebay as the whether they will fit the 2001 model?

Hey BimBam, upload some pics when ur done, be good to see the end result!


Millietant im really impressed with the finish and overall quality of the can, cant wait to crank it so i can hear it, got a few more bits to do though b4 that!


heres a pic of it fitted, just got the top bracket to secure when i get a nut for the bolt cos for some weird reason the nut on the original can is welded in place?! Ive taken the blanking plug out too, seems a bit stupid having a twin outlet with one blocked off!


Hoping the finger prints come off when i wash it though!!


Cheers

Oh right, didnt know that!! ive ordered some rad flush now since reading this, thanks for the tip :)


Blue clocks mod is now done (noticed after taking this pic that the middle LED was out due to wrong polarity!)




End can arrived yesterday, bloody stunning bit of kit! The finish is outstanding, highly recommended to anyone looking at what exhaust to get!! Pics will be up as soon as its fitted!


Cheers

Evening all, update time!


I've had the Fazer wrapped up warm in the garage since the beginning of December, only just got around to ordering a few bits for it and stripping it down as far as i need to. Here's what i'm doing!


Coolant flush and replace, the old stuff must have been in it for years before i even bought the bike because it was as black as coal and tasted disgusting (that's the last time i try and cheat by siphoning the expansion bottle with the overflow pipe from the rad lol)


I've stripped the air box down ready for a replacement K&N which i shall order as soon as pay day rolls around, this coupled with a set of iridium plugs i'm hoping will make some difference?!


I also finally settled on a Blue Flame silencer which should be arriving Thursday, the OEM silencer took some persuading but i managed to get it off after much swearing and half a gallon of WD40!



The dual headlight mod is also on my to do list whilst I've got everything apart, having slight trouble with this one tho as my connector blocks are a different colour to that stated in the guide i'm following! Once I've managed it tho i'm gonna run OSRAM Night Breaker Unlimited bulbs as these seem to be the ones to go for!



The clocks are also getting the upgrade treatment, I'm gonna try the blue LED thing! Not too sure at this stage if i'm gonna like it or go back to standard but for the sake of a couple quid for the LED's i thought i'd give it a go!

That's about it for now, ill update again as and when i get things delivered and fitted! apologies for the lack of and quality of the pics, it was blowing a gale and started pissing down half way through taking it apart......lush British weather as always lol.





Cheers

Hey All


Just thought id write a quick update topic on my fzs600. Ive had the bike for just over a year now, done a fair few miles and made a few small improvements but im looking at what else i can do.


Bike when i picked it up (completely standard)



As it sits today






What ive done so far:
  • Iridium double bubble screen
  • Clear indicator lenses
  • Stainless radiator cover
  • Gold screen bolts
  • Carbon font reg plate
  • Bridgestone battlax BT021
  • 12mm front sprocket nut
What im planning to do:
  • K&N Air filter
  • K&N Oil filter
  • Iridium plugs
  • Dual headlight mod
  • Delkevic or Fuel exhaust (any thoughts on which is better?)
All in all a good first year's riding but does anyone have any other ideas as to what else i could do to improve my fazers look and or power?


thanks
