FZS600 Fazer / Cornering confusion...
« on: 25 June 2012, 11:05:48 pm »
Hi all, Now summer is upon us (well, for a few days) I have been riding the little Fazer quite hard.
However, over the last few days, one or two issues became apparent when exiting corners...
1) on tight corners, upon exiting, the front lifts slightly, and feels to be 'skipping' whilst the bike is still slightly leant over
2) on smooth, fast corners/bends, the rear feels to be slipping/sliding all over the place.


I have played with preload etc, and tried adjusting the bars (got renthal 'superbike low' bars) and I've tried adjusting fork height within the yokes, to no avail.


Has anyone else experienced this, and are there any recommended modifications?

Your Suggestions and How you can help / Gallery?

I might be being really thick here, but there appears to be no 'gallery' to share pictures of bikes/ ride outs.
maybe a possible thing to add to the forum, as every other forum I have used has a gallery, and it makes sharing experiences etc a whole lot easier.

This has helped me in the past with gearing conundrums... Hope it helps :)


http://www.gearingcommander.com/ Just whack in the make model and year of the bike, choose mph or kmh and away you go


P.s. mine will do an indicated 150, which on the dyno translated to 144.8 mph

FZS600 Fazer / Re: Handling setups
« on: 21 June 2012, 12:54:58 am »
I have dropped the forks through the yokes by 21mm (any more and I risk hitting the wheel on the headers if i need to do 'extreme braking'), and fitted 120/70 front tyre, with a 160/60 rear, I have also fitted lower bars which are 2cm wider than the standard ones. This set up, along with carefully set up ( re sprung etc) forks, seems to work perfectly for me :)

FZS600 Fazer / Front forks on a Y reg FZS600...
« on: 21 June 2012, 12:51:06 am »
Hi all, Im relatively new to this Fazer malarky, well, new to paying attention to my 'daily' bike.


I have been wondering... since I have purchased the bike, I have had the front forks re sprung etc to suit my weight. However, numerous people have told me that the forks aren't standard, due to the adjuster on the top (preload).
So I am asking, did the 2000/2001 bikes have the preload as standard?


Thanks all, Im loving my fazer btw :)

Introduction / Hi all!
« on: 21 June 2012, 12:40:35 am »
Hi all,
I'm new to the site as you can probably tell...
I have owned my little FZS600 for about a year now, covering about 10,000 miles in that time, and loved every minute :)
Anyway, its a red FZS600 Y reg, and since I have owned it I have fitted a stainless exhaust header system, and my own home made carbon race can (stubby look, with termignoni internals/ end cap). I have also, just today fitted some ''superbike low'' bars in satin black, and fitted a Ducati supersport carbon mudguard (making all the custom bracketry required by hand).
The forks are re sprung etc for my weight, and it has a k&n filter fitted. also, a colour coded undertray and mini indicators have been fitted to the rear, and I am awaiting the front indicators to match...
 Currently I am running a 120/70 front and 160/60 rear tyre combination, and all these small mods make for a very pleasant ride.


attached is a not so great quality photo of my ride :)
Anyway, Hi all, I hope I can learn a thing or two from you guys :)
