If anyone else has done this, when you re-assembled things, did you have to adjust your clutch lever?
When i pull the clutch fully in, there is still drive to the back wheel, when its on the center stand and i put it in first with the clutch in, the wheel has positive drive, extremely weak but its there....
Assuming adjusting the cables will solve?

if its to stop oil leaking out i will apply a thin coat of something to the surface of the cover when i re-assemble i think....

found a kit with these 2 components
]90179-18006 UPGRADED NUT
90215-21290 WASHER
Ordered and shall see what i can do when it gets here
6£ in total so not bad...
Is there any special process to get this nut off, taking into account the locking mechanism....

Hi, So i was cleaning my chain and thought i would take off the sprocket cover and clean out all the muck i could see....  That bit i can handle, now on closer inspection their appears to be some damage to the washer.... little blurry so will get some better ones... Added new pic...  Anyone seen this or have any advice - i keep reading there was a issue with 8mm vs 12mm nuts as well so this might be the time to go measure it and check! Anutz

Will post some before and after pics of mine when i get them off...
I also think they look cartoon like hence why they must go!

Hi,
Thanks all, shall get my hands on a hair dryer...
Regards the look, well i see your points about it looking like a re-spray and not sure what it will look like in terms of differences in color changes.
I'm just not keen on them, and at some point plan to get a new paint job on the bike anyway, so would have no decals anywhere at that point

Hi,
I want to take the "Fazer" decals off my 2001 FZS600, the 2 "Fazer" signs, one on each side of the front cowling....
Anyone ever tried to take the deals off, any advice, they are clearly not meant to budge!

So i did this the wrong way round, posted 3 threads then spotted this..... i have had my FZS600 2001 model now for about 5 weeks and put 500 miles on it - passed my test in 2005 and did not ride anything after that! So its my first bike and its generally going very well.... I live in the North East  Anutz

All,
So i have been out tonight ( little cold!)...
Although the K and N sounds nicer ( i think...) it still has made no difference to the ride at low RPM
The point was made earlier in the thread about not being concerned about the pressures in my carbs....
I know it is important they are sync'd but, why is it so un-important that they are roughly 50mm down on what they are specified at in the manual....?
I know conditions where this is quoted are based at the Yam factory but is there no valid reason to consider the pressures....
Has anyone else measured there pressures, and were they near the quoted values 230-250?
I will check the TPS, the Idle is set fine, so no issues there

Unfazed... I did see your last reply....not sure what you want me to say  I don't really case about the pressures any more - was just updating people as to where i am at now...the K and N seemed to make a difference - will know when i ride it soon, certainly sounds nicer and richer Anutz

hi,
i have only had my Fazer for a month or so and done about 300 miles, i have had some issues with low RPM handling, but it sounds like maybe you are chopping the throttle off...
I found the Twist of the Wrist series excellent books/dvd's to understand the way a bike should handle and why throttle control is important, and why a bike can behave like it does
It has made me feel more confident, so check them out - there is one in the Downloads section, under Useful Stuff....Keith Code....

So, I have been looking at my suspension Forks, and i noticed the following, whilst i figure out what to do about it - comments? They do not leak oil and fluid as far as i can tell when compressed etc....and there is nothing on the wheels/floor....   Anutz

OK,
changed the air filter for a K and N, have not had chance to ride it yet, but it does indeed sound better, less choked, and no sign of any stuttering - hopefully that translates to some nicer behavior when riding at low RPM but its tipping it down here so i am not going to test it tonight

Hi,
I have the 900 as well, mine is in the garage but i do use an extension cable with it - about 15m i think it is....
I have seen it do this once but i un-plugged and re-plugged it...did not do it again
I am assuming you are using the charging tails that stay on the battery....that is what i use
Does it make any difference if you do not use them and hook it up directly with the clip on's?

So,
K and N filter installed....
When i blip the throttle the vacuum pressure DOES hit 230 ish...
At idle they are still at 180 ish...
Any way i will be running it into a mechanics locally soon so will see what they say
But it is my first 600'cc so this might just be me

oh, got the bolt sorted, ground the top off and then drilled out the screw from the bottom bracket - new one on the way

Thanks both... RMT1983 - got the tank off ok But i need to get the bracket off the frame so i can get to the air filter, there is a rubber cover that the tank bracket fixes in place...and its one of those bolts that is just spinning If all else fails its angle grinder time ....  Anutz

Hello! So i have been getting to grips with my Fazer, 2001 FZS 600, i have managed to now get the fuel tank off and wanted to change the air filter, so this involves removing the fuel tank mounting bracket....well this is where the problem lies... PROBLEM WAS ME - NO NEED TO TAKE OFF BRACKET - READ THE THREAD
One of the bots backed out fine, the other just spins freely in both directions...  I can see the brackets are cheap and plentiful on known sites, so that is good....if i have to get a new one.. But the question is any tips on how i get this bolt out - if its a simple case of like any other then i shall spend the day on the internet Anutz

All,
Anyone give me an idea as to if this is normal behavior...
In Neutral on the center stand....i twist the throttle all the way open and it struggles to hit 7500rpm....even if i twist more....
Anutz...
