FZS600 Fazer / Top Box - need a few bits
« on: 31 March 2017, 09:36:21 am »
I've recently replaced the wing rack on my bike (altered to fit so the previous owner could use panniers) with a standard rack for just a back box.


As I already had the plate and the box I just ordered the rack and this is what i now have (sorry about the pic in the dark):

and I have one of these:







so I now need just the bits that connect the two. I can't seem to find these for sale separately and want to make sure that when I do buy them I'm buying the right ones.


Can anyone point me somewhere where I can get them?


Cheers,
Ben

FZS600 Fazer / Bike didn't start!
« on: 30 March 2017, 09:33:43 am »
This morning I got on my bike to come to work and it wouldn't start. I did my usual of turning the choke on (and checked that the bar moved on the carb, so the cable is definitely working), slight throttle and starter button, but it just sat and churned away but didn't start. Eventually the batter died so i had to put the bike away and get the train to work.


I haven't used the bike in anger since last Friday, but did go for a quick spin around the block yesterday and everything seemed fine.


Where would be a good place to start looking for the issue?


Cheers,
Ben

FZS600 Fazer / LED Indicators
« on: 14 March 2017, 11:03:47 am »
Apologies as this has probably been asked numerous times before, but I'm after a guide on replacing my indicators with LEDs.
I've found this post: http://foc-u.co.uk/index.php/topic,38.0.html but the last few pictures aren't working.
The text is pretty good in that post, so I'd imagine I could get by with it, but was wondering if there's another guide somewhere with all of the pictures?


Cheers,
Ben

FZS600 Fazer / Switching Topbox
« on: 08 March 2017, 11:04:59 am »
Hi All,


I bought my bike with this topbox:

20170304 200421


20170304 172037
20170304 172037


The guy who fitted it also had the size boxes (he kept them), and had to make some bracketry for it all to fit as it wasn't a standard rack for the bike.
I want to keep the topbox, but would like to fit it to the standard brackets as it's much neater. Is that possible, or will I have to get a complete new set of bracket and box?


Cheers,
Ben

FZS600 Fazer / Suspension preload
« on: 06 March 2017, 04:24:42 pm »
Apologies if this has been asked 1000 times, but I'm after a bit of help.I bought a FZS600 over the weekend from someone who was about 5 foot 8 and maybe 11 stone. I'm 6 foot 1 and 13 stone. He had the bike setup with 2 notches showing above the nut on the front:



And I'm not sure of the rear as I believe it to be an after market spring:



Two questions:

1) What would be the affect of me being taller and heavier and riding with the front preload of 2 notches instead of the recommended 5
2) Can anyone identify (or tell me how to identify) the setting of the rear spring from the above picture?Cheers,Ben
