Hi all, just thought I would put a update, on the bike, just been out for it's first ride after 13 years in a stable.
Have all the body work and mechanical issues sorted, and after the test ride I just had a dodgy fuel gauge, which is now sorted.
I'm new to 600's and wasn't expecting that after a R1 for 7 years, really amazed at it's performance it's so nice to ride.
The fuel gauge/sender issue I thought I would share as it may be useful for someone at some point, that is if not already covered
which I suspect it may be.
The mileage I have now pushed to 6000, which I suspect is pretty unusual for a 1999 bike, I thought it may be wrong as the front wheel
speed pickup was broken, but at the M.O.T the guy checked and it was correct !
Anyway if it works here's the YouTube links for the first ride and the sender fix, sorry about the crap camera work.
Cheers
Fint.

I don't see the need for a gear change indicator really other that to tell me I am ALREADY IN 6TH Even though I have had the bike for 18 years I still go for 7th.

This is one reason I got a gear indicator on my previous bike, getting tired after a long ride on twisty roads thinking I'm still in 3rd and going for 2nd
when I was already there and thinking I'm still in the last century where changing down was a good way to get some braking was normal, hence the gentle
park up to check the underwear    it was also before I fixed the gearbox as it wasn't going into gear always.

I've got the same one which from my instructions has just the two wires.  One to pick up a live feed.


The other picks up a grey cable located in a two pin plug with white and grey cables that sits behind the panel housing the key release for the seat.  You can see them poked down the edge next to the frame.


Others have fitted the exact same one so might be able to offer something more technical than me.

  Cheers mate I'll try the grey cable if the yellow fails to work it when I test it on the road, which I'm still not sure is the only way to set it up ?

Thanks for those reply's very helpful.
This was the one from Ebay " cheep but hopefully it will do the job"

That looks like it gos to 8 - everyone knows Fazers only have 7 gears 

   cheers could go a bit quicker with those extra's !
and yes it looks the same as the go-pro and that wiring looks the same just hope it works as well  [size=78%] [/size]

Thanks for that, hopefully by chance I could have it right.
These pics are where I joined in as the wire changes from red/white to yellow at the connector block from the pick up coil
and the other end under the tank has the white connectors plugging in between the original  white connectors. Do you think that's correct ?Cheers.

Lots of options but I plumbed for one of these from Ebay. 312765751860,  just fits in the gap in the fairing.

Hi, all thanks for letting me join your club, I may even get the hang of this vast thing that you have created (eventually) but fumbling on-
I'm quiet a relic myself now but I am keen to get this Fazer back on the road and me back into biking again.
It belonged to a friend and was in a bit of a poor state, which you may or may not see depending on if I manage to upload pics.
It was last on the road 10 years ago and has only covered 5000 miles ! had the carbs off three times, sorted all the bodywork it had been droped
while at stand still and someone had made a mess of the tank clearcoat not the original tank and front fairing by the look of it as it's gold the bike has a
black colour code, fitted a few extras and can't wait to try it out.
I've always had bikes sadly my last one went 3/4 years ago which was a R1 5jj 2000.
look forward to reading some interesting topics.
( now's  the tricky bit pictures)
Cheers FLINT. 
Well here go's, now don't be offended if something appears from a Anne Summers catalogue  ! No that didn't work ?
