Hi Neil

I'm a newbie to the forum too.  Have asked a few dumbo questions already and been guided with pertinent answers.  Lots of help here!

Good luck with your Fazer!

FZS600 Fazer / Worn gear change lever bush HELP
« on: 29 September 2013, 04:45:37 pm »
Hi folks I am looking for advice on how to replace or where I can get a new gear change lever with new bush.

My yr 2000 fzs600 has seen a helluva lot of miles and gear changes and the lever is uber waggly.  Would love it to be as new again. 

Is there an off the shelf item I can get non genuine / affordable item or is it down to the local cnc/  machine shop to sort me out?


Cheers
Gav

Ps I've not stripped it yet so maybe the shaft needs replacing too?

Rode to the office for 1st time on my recently acquired Fazer, ride included going down ZigZag hill near Shaftesbury Dorset.  Prefer going up it though hehe.

Looking forward to the ride home now :)

Fitted new swing arm bearings then stuck it back on the bike with all the other cleaned up parts and went for a test ride.   Then my daughter n son wanted to go out on the back for a ride too.  Of course I had to oblige.

Tried extracting the swing arm roller bearings but failed.  Will take the rear shock off and clean that up instead.  Much easier. 


Hopefully will come up with a cunning plan to remove those pesky bearings this afternoon.

Cheers.  I did look at wemoto last night but didn't find it.  Will double check or send them an email request.

Yes I was happy for the price I got it for.  It's got 40,000 miles on it but runs great. Also I'm not scared to replace rings reset valves or whatever later on, so milage not a problem.  Just happy to be on 2 wheels again. Felt great on the 2 goes I've had around town on it before I stripped the back end.  My 11yr old son is itching for me to put the back wheel back on for a ride out lol.  I said to him; well think how I feel too, not being able to ride it at the mo  lol.

Hi there.  Have joined now I've got a Fazer 600 to say ello and grab some tips and advice. 
I picked up a yr 2000 Fazer a couple of weeks back for 800 notes.. here's a pic


 All good and has MOT and tax but it needs some work on the rear suspension.   I've got it all appart and replaced the wheel bearings and now the swing arm is off.
The roller bearings in the swingarm were shot! Lots of play. So have ordered that no probs.

But I am stuck trying to find where I can buy a roller bearing that presses into the silver coloured cast suspension linkage.  You know the silver linkage lump that has the dog bones comming off of it. There is also play in that too.   its just the roller bearing in the fat end that needs replacing. 

Can any kind soul point me in the right direction of where I can find this bearing?

Thanks a lot
Gav

Ok back to the gunk can + ripped up bed sheets and cleaning 13yrs of grud off this fine machine :P
