Just like to say hi guys just got myself a fazer 600 on a 03 plate, love it so far

Name is Paul from Mollington nr Chester Had a few Bird before so after a few bumps I wanted something a bit lighter so got the Fazer and so far seems a great buy

Hello Paul. Welcome to the forum. Like you, I have recently bought a 2003 FZS 600 and really like it.
May well 'bump' into you as I only live in the Wrexham area. Enjoy your new machine in this incredibly mild weather we are having.

Hi Paul,
Welcome to the snake pit.

There are a lot of guys on here that know a lot about Fazers and are always willing to offer advice and sometimes practical help.
Oh! by the way I'm not one of them cos I know very little and my skill level would be classed as entry by most peoples standards.
It is also a good place to source spares.

But there is a plethora of knowledge on this forum.

Great choice of bike I myself have a 2003 Foxeye FZS 600, surprisingly light on its toes, great 4 pot lump that is always willing to please.

My understanding is it is a de-tuned Thundercat engine, mid rangy with a lot of torque, and, provided its is serviced regularly 125,000 -150,000 miles is not uncommon, mine is on 38,000 and pulls like a train.
But I do have the super fast Silver one, there are some on here that would have you believe that its just in primer and has never really been finished, but I believe that to be just sour grapes on their part.

This is my new stead hope the pics come out ok

Very nice stead you have there and glad to see you purchased a red one as the red ones are the fastest 

[paul1962]

thanks well it had to be red as its my fav colour and of course the fastest, bestest colour, I have now painted the down pipes Black as they were looking old stained and discoloured
so to save a lot of time and money trying to polish them back up I thought black was the easy option, and they look fine now

that sounds like a nice cheap idea, but what paint did you use?
