Hi all, M&P are local to me and I bought he ignition barrel that they say covers the 20 and 03 Fazers, it is right that the one M&P sell is the 6 wire one and does not fit the 02/03 models and on returning the lock, I did mention this to them, a bit surprised they have not changed the listing.

Hi all, hope the weather is treating everyone fine. Reading in the news about new fuel ethanol mix that's coming to a forecourt near you soon. I'm assuming that the Fazers will be fine on the mix, however, hmmmm not 100% sure and can't find any official notice to say all ok, plus, never assume anything! Any thoughts?

Yes, the bike 'unlocked' if you like. Will have a look Sat at the clutch basket, see if any springs broken, check the clutch plates etc, take it all apart and all that.

Tyres fitted by M&P and watched them do it, all fine there, clutch cable is fine too, pulled in the clutch each time it locked up, my next port of call is to drop the oil and check for swarf and also take the clutch cover off amd check all in one piece.

All good there :-) I've double checked all the wheels, alignment, brakes etc

First place I looked was the chain/sprocket setup, all good there, wheel bearings are fine, front were replaced with OEM 10k ago, no issues with rear bearings

Hi all, hope you're all getting back on the road ok. I was out earlier today and had a very unexpected lockup while setting off onto a roundabout, it felt like both sets of brakes snatching on then releasing though I had no tyre skid, it also felt, worryingly, like a transmission lockup and I'd say that would be a more accurate description, the front didn't dive like it would if the front brake suddenly locked on, I was in 1st and only doing maybe 10mph. I was a bit confused, a few miles later, heading home after a visit to a shop, it happened again, this time at about 30mph and was a sudden jerk/shudder, I pulled the clutch and released it, carried on till I could pull over and check the bike, all seemed ok, happened a third time and I limped home at 30, not wanting to go faster and it did the 10 miles home ok. Not long had new tyres, fitted the wheels myself and done this every time I've had rubber fitted over the 10 years I've had the bike, so I know there is no issue there, I double checked anyway. I had the front sproket cover off having previously had the front sproket nut decide that it didn't want to stick around any more and is in some French field near Saint Quentin, no problem there, the upgraded nut is still in place and tight. Chain tension is fine, having not long fitted the rear wheel on (100 miles ago) I put the bike on the centre stand and had it running and in gear, tried 1st, 2nd and 3rd, no problems, some slight rear chain lash, but nothing I wasn't expecting. Any thoughts on this as I am totally stumped, been riding since I was 16, 52 now and not seen anything like this.

I took the wheels off and dropped them off at M&P and they fitted a pair of BT023's, had these before and found they were goos and M&P were doing a deal for the pair, woul dhave cost more than I had for the Pilot Road combo but I'll certainly have a look at that in future :-) Appreciate all the suggestions :-)

Thanks all, will be looking at that combo, esp with winter coming.

Hi all, I had a new set of BT016's fitted recently to my bike and I hate them! Used to have 021's and never had any problems with those, now the local shop (M&P) stopped doing the 021's, maybe should have gone to 023's but I digress. I want to go for pilot road 4's but it looks like the front tyre size available is a 120/17 and the original tyre size for the Fazer is 110/17, will the 120/17 fit? Rear sizes are no problem.
Also, tyre pressures, what rubber and pressure are you running? my 021's ran at 33/36 f/r with no problems, standard recommended by the book etc, the 016's do not like those pressures, feels like I'm on ice on wet roads, in the dry, they are ok but don't fill me with confidence. Reading some posts on here, I read that the pilot roads 4's are probably ther best tyres for a Fazer600, I know it's all personal preference etc but would areally appreciate some thoughts.
Cheers

I had this the other day, turned out I needed a new battery, the old battery was a good 7 years old and getting tired. Change of battery helped me.

It appears to be sorted, I traced back all the wires to a box next to the flasher relay, checked that out with a meter, all ok, but as I went along, I cleaned every contact in all the plugs and sockets, had lunch, went back, put it all together and it worked. So I can't pinpoint the exact reason other than dirty contacts within wiring blocks, now to wash it and shake down ride. Thanks everyone for the suggestions, much apprectiated.

The plates separated fine, gave them all a jiggle, none of them stuck, so I didn't have to take it all apart, clutch adjustment is fine, can move the back wheel witht he clutch lever in and in 2nd, 3rd etc, it's still stoppign when I select 1st or 2nd, going to trace the wires back, according to the wiring diagram, there is a set of diodes that are part of the circuit, on the diagram, they are in with the starter motor cut out relay, not sure how that affects it as as yet, lovely sunny day and I'm stuck in the garage, ah well.

Heard that too Trebus but never tried it :-) drained the oil and whipped off the cover, the clutch plates are not stuck, so at a loss, the clutch switch is fine, checked that back at the main connector block under the tank, the side stand switch is also fine, checked that at the plug behind the LH cover, clutch is adjusted ok, the only thing that's a little confusing is when the bike is on it's stand, engine off, select 1st and try and rotate the back wheel, pulling in the clutch lever seems to make no difference, which suggests the clutch....

Tried rolling the bike in 2nd, can roll it but not as easy as it should, also tried running the engine with the lever tied back to the bar, no joy there, going to drain the oil and open it up....

Clutch stuck, so got to sort that tomorrow.

Found another thread on this, as my engine has been stood for three months with no oil in, I'll check the clutch plates have not stuck together, will also bypass the clutch switch though I've tested it with a meter and it's fine.

Checked the clutch lever switch, it's working ok, the plug that goes into it can only go in one way.

Hi all, been a while since I was last on, just finished rebuilding my 2002 Fazer, I did a full on strip down, engine out of the frame, everything stripped and cleaned, painted or replaced as required. Spent many an evening cleaning every last damn nut and bolt. Bike went back together ok, the problem I have is the engine cuts out when I select 1st gear. Before I get the obvious one, the side stand switch was stripped, cleaned, casing painted, reassembled and tested and was also tested once installed and tested again tonight, just in case, all ok there.
Is there anything else that would stop the engine when 1st is selected?

Sorted, it was filthy contacts in the starter motor relay connector, pulled out the white plug and the contacts were all green, cleaned them up and she fired up. Just waiting for dry roads now, got new tyres that need scrubbing in :-)

Hi all, had the Fazer off road over winter, indoors at work, so dry. Did my usual winter strip down and done maintanence as required, put the whole thing back together and it won't start. All lights work, the battery is a year old and has been on an Oxford optimiser, when I press the starter button, nothing, no sound, no clicking, the neutral light stays nice and bright. The engine kill switch works as I can hear a relay clicking when I try that switch. I have had the rear mudguard out so I could clean the rear end properly. Much use of GT85.
Any thoughts please?

Did you have to take the headlight unit apart to fit the HID projectors? Seen a youtube video on fitting HID projectors on the foyeye model where they heat the light unit to soften the glue that holds the front 'glass' to the rear plastic before fitting projectors.

I installed 2 power sockest on the lhs infil panel but on the upright part, 2 reasons for this, water wouldn't sit on them and they were used for satnav power and mobile phone power, easier to route cable to my satnav and tank bag, will post a pic at some point. I installed a 12V cig lighter socket, with waterproof cap, this is used to power a usb extension in the tank bag and also to power my airbed pump when camping, I also installed a dual USB socket, one works the satnav and one spare. Again, with a waterproof cap. I have it wired through a relay fitted in the tail so there is only power when the ignition is on, my heated grips are wired the same.
