FZS600 Fazer / Parking Light

Anyone know if theres a way to stop the parking light coming on? Left mine on by accident this morning, had to bump it when I finished work

FZS600 Fazer / Rear light
« on: 06 January 2018, 06:16:14 pm »
A mate at work pointed out yesterday that only 1 of the bulbs in my tail light was on. Having taken them out to check them today, it seems theyre both twin filament bulbs, but, like the headlights, only use 1 filament on either bulb (so the 5w is on on one of them as a tail light, and the 25w comes on on the other when you pull the brakes). Is that normal, and if so, is there a known mod to use both filaments on both bulbs, like there is on the headlight?

FZS600 Fazer / Handlebar clamp bolts
« on: 27 April 2017, 05:27:23 pm »
My bike came with bar risers fitted, and I want to try it without them, but the clamp bolts are too long. Anyone know the length of the standard bolts, or can take one out and measure it, so I can either borrow a few from work or buy some?

General / Looks like motad have gone under

Hope nobody's waiting on delivery of an exhaust from motad, looks like they've shut up shop. No mention of what's happening with existing orders.

Shame, they've been around for a long time.

FZS600 Fazer / Mystery connectors under the seat
« on: 04 March 2017, 01:53:25 pm »
After picking up my Fazer last Wednesday, todays been the first chance Ive had to start having a proper poke around it. So, after getting rid of some of the anodized blue bits fitted by a previous owner (on a gold bike? really?), I took the seat off to have a look underneath. No tool kit, but my tool roll fits in fine, with my disc lock and sidestand puck. Noticed its had a datatool evo alarm fitted, as the control box is still there and looks to be still connected, although I dont have the fobs for it. Theres also 2 mystery connectors under the seat, anyone know what theyre for?

Next job is to get rid of the blue screen, once Ive decided what type I want to replace it with.

FZS600 Fazer / Here it is, my fazer 6
« on: 01 March 2017, 07:06:57 pm »
Busy day today. Had a guy travel 2 hours to buy my cb500 (was in the middle of restoring one, wanted a donor bike), sorted transferring my insurance, then trekked over to the other side of Sheffield to collect my new fazer. Couldn't have picked a worse day to do it, bike was in walkley, which, as you'll know if you know Sheffield, is very, very hilly, and today they'd got all the roads closed and dug up for resurfacing, so the ones that weren't shut were covered in gravel. But I got it home in one piece despite all that, and have had a chance for a proper poke around it. The headlight mod has already been done, and I've swapped the h4 for an osram night breaker I had spare from my cb500. At one point it had an alarm fitted, as the sounder unit is still under the seat. Tomorrow it gets its first real test, a 16 mike blast over the peak District road to Hathersage and back for work.

FZS600 Fazer / New (to me) fazer, few questions
« on: 25 February 2017, 04:05:58 pm »
Just bought a 2001 fazer, have a few qs.

It has a bellypan, rear hugger, full delkevic stainless system, braided front hoses and rack and top box fitted. Its also had the rear caliper changed for one from a fazer 1000. Any other common mods to these?

The previous owner thought it would be a good idea to accesorise a gold bike with blue parts (why, I dont know), so Ill be wanting to change them back to standard(ish). Things like the petrol cap bolts, screen, top yoke nut, sprocket nuts. Best place to source replacements?

The rear left (as youre sitting on the bike) panel has a crack in it. Nothing too bad, but its going to annoy me until I can fix it. Anywhere good to buy replacement panels from, or am I best just keeping an eye on Ebay?

Ive read that the headlights as standard arent much cop, any reccomended mods/parts to improve them.

Last but not least-I noticed the digital odometer/clock display wasnt backlit. Is it supposed to be, and if so, how much of a pain is it to sort?

Im sure therell be more to come once I get it, Ill post some pics when I do

Introduction / New owner
« on: 25 February 2017, 03:55:58 pm »
Just a quick intro, been riding a cb500s for the past 5 years, finally decided it was time to get rid of it, so this morning went and put a deposit on a 2001, 25000 mile fazer 600 in gold. Will be collecting it soon as my Honda has gone, hopefully before next weekend. Give me a wave if yo see me around Sheffield
