General / Insurance companies
« on: 03 June 2013, 11:28:56 am »
Like a good boy i rang up my insurer today to tell them my Recent mods to my bike - only to be told I was not insured and would have to take out a new policy - I hung up in a huff!
A couple of hours latter I had cooled down and rang back to sort it out - this time a different person dealt with me who told me it was ok on my policy and there was no need to change at all - so I decided to own up to a couple more mods - happy now!
My point is if you get a bad deal its worth ringing back again as you may just had a shit head dealing with you the first time !!!!!!

General / passed for another year
« on: 05 April 2013, 01:00:32 pm »
Just passed my MOT with no advisories - which is good - but they did pick up that the frame number is different from the one on record at DVLA - seems that the number has been misread at every previous MOT - the one zero does look like a six - but is is a zero - definitely has not had a new frame so 0 out of ten for observation for the last ten mots!
Daft thing is that the mechanic who picked it up also did the last 4 MOTs!

FZS600 Fazer / clock replacement
« on: 13 March 2013, 10:41:56 am »
Like in one of the other posts I have a KMH speedo with a sticker that is lifting - how easy is it to swap seedo faces over from another set of clocks? - Is it doable and has anyone done it?
I dont want to nacker the clocks but would like to keep the millage correct or I would just put the other clocks staight on.

FZS600 Fazer / fork springs again
« on: 10 March 2013, 08:15:23 pm »
Hi all - I know weight matched linear springs are the ideal set up in forks with modern cartridge damping - but and here's the question ----
------ is it worth paying £40 over the cost of decent progressive springs (Halgon) for weight matched linear springs with the standard gen 1 forks and their very basic damping ?
I have seen the page on the upgraded damping mod - which is ace but I don't have that sort of money available.
I am more than a bit " Big Boned" ( I'm a 19 stone fat bastard) and know that standard springs are designed for the weight of my right leg!
I have also got some pre-load adjusters from an 01 set of forks to add to my forks.

General / motorcycle rules and vintage bikes
« on: 17 December 2012, 06:06:00 am »
does anyone know what laws and regs apply to a 1959 motorcycle - particularly in relation to the exhaust requirements ?
I can find the info on modern bikes but was wondering what applied to the older MOT exempt bikes - I am currently riding one with no silencer and would like to know my facts if stopped by a copper younger than the bike (which is most of them!)

FZS600 Fazer / bars
« on: 02 October 2012, 09:16:24 am »
I have kind of asked this before - so let me put it another way - has anyone fitted ace/ clubman bars to a Mk1 fzs600 whilst retaining the fairing?
I like the look of the fairing but would like a more forward ' sportier ' riding position and am toying with the idea of ace bars , I know I may have to lower/ move forward the fairing ( which I don’t mind doing) but don’t fancy the all out clip on bars approach.
I would be interested to know if anyone has tried this, if the cables and brake lines were ok as standard or needed replacing and if it changed the handling for the better or worse .
Or am I better leaving the upright riding position as it is and accepting it isn’t a sporty bike !!
I await the onslaught of abuse. lol

FZS600 Fazer / drop bars/ ace bars
« on: 28 August 2012, 10:07:59 pm »
I know there has been a number of posts about how to use clip ons - but has anyone fitted ace/clubman bars and did they fit without having to move the fairing?
I dont think they are going to fit but I think the only way to find out is to get a set and try, but it would be good to know if it has been tried before.

FZS600 Fazer / I guess I best start enjoying it now.....
« on: 22 August 2012, 08:48:44 pm »
Well I have think I have sorted all the known problems -
I have put a HID in the main beam , changed the sprocket nut ( had to get the garage to do it as I could not budge the original one) and have put the lift kit dog bones on -
just need some sunshine to get out on it now!

FZS600 Fazer / brake line replacement
« on: 10 July 2012, 09:02:39 am »
I am looking to upgrade my brake lines to stainless braided ones
What sytem have you guys gone for? - have you stuck with the single line to a splitter into to two lines front brake type or converted to a two lines from the master cylinder to caliper front system?
What are the merits of each system? ( other than one being cheaper)

FZS600 Fazer / leaky tank
« on: 30 June 2012, 06:22:35 pm »
I have only owned my Fazer a couple of months and it has rained for most of that time , so when I got up to a bright sunny day the plan was a bit of bike maintenance and then out for a good long ride in the hills - but alas not to be !
I have had a slight fuel leak which I assumed was something to do with overfilling the tank last time I fuelled up ( thought it was an overflow pipe thing.I lifted the tank to check to air filter and dry off the over flow only to find the bottom of the tank has been very badly repaired. After a bit of light sanding the bottom of the tank looked like a lump of Swiss cheese.
The tank was full of rust and quite frankly past repair - after a trawl on the net I have purchased a replacement tank - unfortunately a YELLOW one!
I am still on the look out for a black tank if anyone has on.

Hi all - Im Ponkster from the N E Scotland , I've just acquired a 1998 FZS 600 Fazer so I decide to join the forum.
I'm liking the fazer and have been quite surprised by the speed and handling - quite a wolf in sheep's clothing
