Hi foccers,
Just been through the pain of settling an insurance claim myself after a car backed into me. Thankfully the idiot accepted liability and his insurance is paying out. I'd like advice on the value of my fazer. Its a 2001 plate foxeye model with ~40k miles and in good mechanical condition, excellent cosmetic condition and recently serviced. Its got all the history etc etc. They've offered £1800, this seems reasonable to me...yay or neigh?
Ta!

Hi foccers,
Looking for some advice on a front fork swap for my 2001 fazer. Going through an insurnace claim atm for a blind t&$t who reversed into me and wondering how easily/cheaply I could repair the damage myself.
Which forks can I put in without too much hassle? Does it have to be another fazer '01?
Whilst we're at it, any advice on where to get new front fairing and mudguards?
Ta!

Hi foccers,
Had my trusty favour nicely sorted after a service/MOT and took her out to the shops for a treat...then some plonker decided to reverse into me on the slip road. After he'd finished humping the front end of my fazer with his people tank (carrier) we exchanged insurance details. Apparently he thought he'd hit a bollard....Totally his fault etc.
Anyway, I need some advice, I rode the 1 mile home and found the bars/forks don't hold straight without slight right hand input. What's the best way of checking bent forks/frame etc? All the plastics are fooked so does anyone have any experience of insurance claims and whether this will be fixed/written off? And lastly, despite it not being my fault am I likely to be stung with excess/higher premiums?
Thanks!
ps no vultures please.

Micron stainless steel end can and link pipe for FZS600. Few scuffs but in good condition. Pics show scuff on the rear of the can (unseen when on the bike), and a scuff on the back of the can (near the exit) which should buff out but isn't too obvious. Both the link pipe and strap are inc. Looking for £70+pp (no more than £10).

Hi foccers, looking to sell my 2002 blue FZS600 foxeye model fazer. It's been sat in the garage all year and I'm moving house so need to clear some space. Not sure what she's worth but have a figure of £1100-1200 in my head (crazy?). Heres the details:
Good:
- Good tyres BT021s with plenty of life.
- Oil/filter/spark all done recently (<500 miles).
- New Yuasa battery as of today.
- Datatool Alarm (S3) and Datatag ID.
- FSH
- Monokey rack (no box).
- Crash bungs.
- Full stainless exhaust.
- Yamaha DB screen.
- Fazer branded radiator guard and mud fender extender.
- Rear hugger.
Bad bits:
- 41,500 miles.
- Camchain started rattling recently, minor but noticeable.
- Good cosmetic condition, few marks and some minor paint flaking on the engine/rad.
- No tax (negotiable).
- MOT til end of Aug 2013 (this year!).
ok people whats the foccers concensus??

Hi all, Just check my valve clearances (its bloody freezing out!) and exhaust are all at 0.2mm whilst intake varies from 0.076-0.1mm. From memory Intake should be 0.11-0.2mm and exhaust 0.21-0.3mm, so what affect will my clearances have if left unchanged (it's a real ballache)?
On a side note, whilst the cam cover was off I noticed that the cam chain is continuously held tight against the chain guide on the top of the engine (between intake and exhaust sprockets), is this normal?
Thanks!

Hi all, so my fazer has had a noisy, clackety cam chain for aaages but out of the blue decided to quiten up on the way back from Assen BSB. Thing is, now I notice a relatively loud tapping noise coming from the head which rises and falls with engine revs in a similar way that the cam chain rattle would. Now I know that when valve clearance wear they become tighter and therefore less noisy, but can it cause the bucket/shim/cam lobe to make a rattle?? It is definately NOT cam chain and does quieten down significantly when warmed...any ideas foccers?

Hi Foccers, Any advice on managing the false neutral between 1st and 2nd gear? I've noticed it recently when changed up it is very 'clunky' and will occasionally go into neutral instead of 2nd OR grind a little before clunking into 2nd. Either way, it isnt very smooth! Any tips on gear change technique so it doesnt get worse? (cant be arsed swapping engines as its not THAT bad)

anybody want a set of 4 '99 plate fzs600 carb rubbers? taken off a breaker engine, in good condition with usual cosmetic 'cracking' outside appearance. No cracking through the rubber and still has lots of life left.
want to get rid so £30 seems fair for the lot (+postage of course)

Hi All, am stripping an '02 FZS600 engine as a piston blew resulting in a replacement needed. Only bad bits are 2 pistons, cylinder head and crankshaft. All the externals are fine, not sure about gearbox until I have a look.
If you're needing engine spares PM me what and i'll check it out first!
