FZS600 Fazer / Brake Calipers
« on: 16 August 2018, 08:14:53 am »
I know that this has been a topic that has been discussed multiple times on this forum but......

last night I managed to snap off one of the bleed nipples on the rear caliper :'(.  I'm hoping that I should able to remove the portion of the nipple left in the caliper.  It snapped off level with the body of the caliper.
I also know that getting hold of a second hand caliper is next to impossible as is getting one for an early fzs1000 it seems.....and I don't really want to pay £400 for a new one.

SO my question in 2 parts is :
Are there any other options when it comes to calipers that will fit? (from other bikes/years)

Any tips for getting this broken one out.  I'm hoping that an extractor in the hollow bolt and maybe a bit of heat will work, I have been applying oil to the tread hoping to break the tension.  I don't really want to have to re-thread the hole as I'm not very good at it.

I know that there has been topics on the topic of coolent hoses before but I couldn't see the answer to my question....

has anyone attempted to swap the coolent hoses from another engine ie a 2003 fzs600 or an fzs1000 onto an 2001 fzs600????

« on: 23 December 2015, 10:01:27 am »
Morning Everyone,
Happy Christmas to all..........

does anyone know if there are any monoshocks off of bigger bikes (eg fazer1000) that use the same mounts as the 01 fzs600........one that would bolt straight on.....I need a new shock and just wondered if there was an easy upgrade.

thanks

FZS600 Fazer / front forks
« on: 29 March 2015, 12:18:36 am »
So.....i stripped the forks from my 01 fazer 600 so that i could oil change and seal change.
having got them in bits i discovered that ine topout spring is missing  :eek . So has been missing for about a year.

What i want to know is if anyone knows where i can get one from or what size it is if its just generic.  I tried ebay and google but didnt find anything. And the parts list i have seen show the same numbers for two bits and i dont know which is which  :'(

Hope someone can get me pointed in the right direction.

General / help (small oil leak)
« on: 16 November 2012, 02:31:45 pm »
Hi Guys
 
Anybody know if there is a gasket round by the rocker cover on an 01 fzs600, i seem to have a small leak from somwhere round that area.  the leak is above the plugs but below the silver bit ontop (sorry my mechanical knowlage is very new).  it seems to be a small leak as im not having to top the oil level up at all.
 
If it is a gasket, whats the proper name and where can i get one?
 
many thanks

Introduction / Newbie
« on: 23 October 2012, 04:56:48 pm »
HI Guys

Im new to the neighbourhood.  I bought my FZS600 coming up 4 years ago when, before that I was riding a Suzuki VanVan 125.  My bike has had a few bits done to it since I got it.  I got a bigger screen, new down pipes, K&N filters, better plugs, a pannier rack, new can.  Apart from that the rest is normal.  I will put a pic up when I get chance to find one.

Im from Dartford in Kent, just down by the infamous bridge and tunnel of the same name.  Seemed like a good idea to join to pool info and find places and go and stuff like that. 

I ride with a local MCC, and we do ride outs and rallies, we host our own rally at Easter (which I will put the poster up for closer to it) as well as a bike show in the summer.
