I just bought a Fazer 600 at the weekend for £100. W reg but says on V5 year of manufacture 2000. Any Fazer experts out there can confirm year.Its an import and has been sitting outside for a year or two after it threw a chain. Ordered a few bits to get it going again. Rear sprocket (came with carrier) Clutch push rod which had been snapped by the chain coming off. This was the main reason it was left sitting as the clutch did not work. £17 for that so cheap fix. Just need to get the old one out!!!
I took off the sprocket cover with the cutch actuator and it was well corroded inside and I could not undo the screws. New one ordered. Less than £20.
It will need a clutch lever as it snapped, a rear tyre, a chain (already have one) and I'll replace the oil, the filters (air and oil) and plugs as a matter of course. Ill probably replace the brake pads and also the standard rubber brake hoses with stainless steel braided. Brake fluid and coolant.
Only thing I am struggling with so far is the headlights. Its an import so I was hoping to pick up a set of UK spec ones but so far no luck on ebay (just started looking TBH) Previous owner had stuck on some sort of deflector. Might be a cheap fix in the short term if I can not come up with anything else. Not going to spend huge sums of money on it as its a second bike. First love is my XJR1300
Biggest worry is the state of the downpipes and more worryingly the studs are VERY corroded. Might just leave well alone!!!
Anything else I should be looking out for??
