Up for sale is my 1998 Fazer 600. It's red and has 10,016 miles, MOT's confirm the low mileage and runs to March 2016. Condition is excellent, apart for some light corrosion on the forks. Starts 1st push of the button, no nasty noises, strong smooth engine. Brakes excellent, Michelin tyres good. I am in IG6 3BA (London/Essex). PM me if you're interested.
....for the rear brake of a FZS 600 '98? I have been told that a R1 will fit with some filing of the mounts, and a TRX will fit with it's carrier and torque arm. So what is the best brake to fit?
1998 Mk 1 Red 34,000 miles. T&T. Just not being used. 100% reliable. New Bridgestone tyres. New front wheel bearings. New brake pads all round. Newish Yuasa battery. Bad bits (there's always some!). The speedo has stopped working, probably I have refitted the speedo-drive incorrectly after the tyre change. The bodywork is a bit shabby, plastics not holed at all but some scratches. I thought I would offer it on here before Ebaying it. £850
Fazer 600 Mk1 (1998) front wheel in good undamaged nick. Both discs are almost new, tyre is just about legal with 1.6mm of tread. Bearings are fine. £30 would much prefer collection from Ilford Essex. Any postage costs would of course be at buyers cost.
I have an old tank (from a Diversion) that is full of petrol that has been in there for most of the year. It will I know, be trouble if I stick it in the Fazer. But I'm reluctant to waste it. Is there an additive on the market that will make it useable?
I have mullered the bleed nipple on my bike ('they all do that'I hear you shout!). Bloody thing has snapped off,tried the usual Eazi-Out method of removing it but it's having none of it. I am reluctant to attempt to drill it out as from experience I know I'm useless at this stuff. So before I remove it to a Machine Shop for removal I wondered if there is a replacement caliper that will bolt on?
On my 98 FZS600 the inlet rubbers are showing hairline splits. It's not effecting the performance at all (no indication of running weak) so I think they do not go all the way through....yet! New ones on Ebay are £75 a set A friend suggested trying vulcanising rubber solution, the type you get in a push-bike puncture repair kit. Which I am tempted to try, only thing that worries me is the heat that close to the engine. What do you lot think?
Just bought a 98 Fazer 600 and it will shortly need tyres. What should I go for? Last time I had one of these bikes I remember fitting Bridgestone. Are they still the tyre of choice?
