Greetings from North Wales
« on: 16 June 2016, 06:03:48 pm »
Hi, had a few years without a roadbike and was sulking after selling the one I said I'd never part with, been riding and tinkering for 35 years and suffered withdrawal symptoms.
Had a look around for a middle weight and decided to build a streetfighter Fazer 600 then one cropped up with most of the mods I'd planned so snapped it up in a moment of madness.
Had the usual teething troubles with a bike that's been stood around but happy to say it's running pretty well now.
Picked up some handy info from the site already and hopefully I can return the favour by helping someone out one day.

Thank you,  Not had chance to ride it much yet, had a few teething problems but getting through them, nothing serious, it'd just been standing and had never had a proper shakedown run. First impressions are good, nice and neutral handling wise and a nice motor, looking forward to clocking the miles on it.

Hopefully we'll have a decent few months to come, weatherwise, so that you can enjoy riding it. You know what North Wales weather is like !

Great looking bike!
May well be coming to you for advice as the FZS 600 I am picking up on Friday has been hanging around for a few years.
From almost in North Wales - Shropshire

Hi, no problem, it was down to dirty carbs and blocked pilot jets. Had a dodgy plug cap too which didn't help.
I'd be happy to help you out if I can .
