FZS600 Fazer / Re: Help please!! Hate riding on motorways.......
« on: 30 July 2013, 05:25:05 pm »
Im 5'10 and have the standard screen on mine and have exactly the same problem.

I find it boring, loud and uncofortable on motorways. Luckily most of my journeys are in town so its not that bad.

Try cutting about 5mm off the end of the ht lead and screwing the cap back on. The end goes brittle with the head and doesnt help water ingress.

I was filtering leading up to a roundabout the car on my right moved over so I had to move and was hit by the car on my left, my leg and arm/hand took the impact so no damage to the bike, the cars mirror folded back, so no damage there, so quite lucky all told :D

Always got to be careful when filtering up to junctions/roundabouts etc, as cars often change lanes at the last minute as you know!

I tend to slide back in line with traffic, 5-6 cars early when filtering down in that situation

Check that the wire hasnt come loose from its clip and is not rubbing through grounding out anywhere.

Mine rubbed through causing the same problem.

Personally I don't filter if I don't have to. Working in London means I do have to but if the traffic is going along at 25 in a 30 zone I just ride at 25.


I am as well, some peiple are really intent on getting to the front of the queue and trying to force cars to part. If there isnt enough space to filter then I sit, simple. It make maybe a minute of difference at the other end.

I think that's a better idea. Although there is very little space inside the camera. Use pliers to break the plastic  plug that keeps the circuit board in and slide it out.

I used the brakcet that came with it to screw into the bottom of the front fairing, works well and stays put


Do you mean that you drilled the fairing or just clamped the bracket to the fairing?


Self tapping screw through the bottom of the fairing.


I thought that yours was record on power, continuous record and was plugged in to power all the time.  If so, please can you tell me how you waterproofed the USB connection ?  A water balloon ?


It was, I spent a long time drilling a hole through the back cover, soldering in power connections permantely with a coil of wire inside so it could still be removed and then gluegunning it water tight.


Thats until I went out in the rain, and the lense let a crap load of water through :(


Im planning on putting silicone sealant around the edge of the lense at the front to waterproof that as well, as its just a friction fit now!

I would not mind a BMW F800 GT




Even WITH a Fazer, the F800 looks more comfy for touring.


Agreed although I think the f800 gt is a good all rounder, as I do lots of town riding plus the occasional longer ride. I think they get around 60-70 mpg as well. 

I think the 1200 rt would be too big for city riding.
