Martin here


I bought my lovely FZS 600 Fazer in February this year after finding myself looking for a new (older) bike. I've loved the look of the original Fazer ever since it first came out and when I saw this one for sale in Kent I'm glad to say that I decided that now was my time to own one.


A few 'tasteful' extra's later and In have my perfect do it all bike! This one is definitely a keeper and am looking forward to many years of ownership with the help and advice available on this site to make it all the more enjoyable. I used the info provided by one of the members a while back to re-wire the front lights on dipped to improve what is one of the few flaws that this bike has. For a 20 year old bike it goes and handles superbly and I'm plenty happy with my choice.

I had a similar 'oh s**t moment a couple of months ago and did the same as Trebus suggested.


Drill out the center of the screw (fairly easy as the hole is already there) as close as you dare to the diameter of the inside of the thread, using good quality carbon steel drill bits. I managed to get the remainder out without doing too much damage to the thread in the caliper by levering with a very small screwdriver. Very satisfying (and relieving) when it finally comes free!! I also had the caliper in a vice to keep it steady while working on it.


I replaced both of the rear and front bleed screws with stainless ones to try to avoid the problem in the future. Hope you have success too!  :)
