FZS600 Fazer / FZS600 Headlights keep turning off
« on: 26 March 2021, 09:46:11 pm »

Hello, I would like to ask for some advise regarding my good old Fazer (FZS600), which for many months now  (3-4) has a problem with electrical circuit, particularly with headlamps.


Bike has installed an Oxford heat grips and DataToolDemon Evo immobiliser - which I guess may contribute to the problem


Recently it started to happen more frequently, but strangely, when I start to ride the bike for 10-20 minutes and rev the engine a lot - the headlights start working again, but later occasionally they go off (for like 30-60 seconds, when I'm riding the bike)


Can anyone advise if there is anything I can do myself, before I take it to a workshop?
I obliviously tried changing fuses already and it's still the same  :(

General / Stuttering engine below 4k (FZS600)
« on: 14 August 2017, 04:35:56 pm »
Hi Everyone, for couple of weeks I've been having a problem with my FZS600 ('02, 40k). The engine stutters below 4000RPMs very badly. Sometimes I can fully open the throttle and it won't accelate for couple of seconds. Sounds really weird too.
I took it to the workshop; the spurk plugs where changed, air filters, ignition pipes, have done 1000 miles since then and the problem persists.
My mechanic told me that he will have to open the engine to check the valves and other stuff, but it's not going to be cheap.
Anyone has a clue what could be the problem?

FZS600 Fazer / FZS600 engine oil warning light randomly comes on
« on: 17 April 2017, 11:29:00 pm »
For couple of weeks now the engine oil warning light occasionally comes on, it stays on for around 30-50 seconds and then it goes off. It's not the case that it's happening when sharp turning or going up\down hill. I spoke to my mechanic about it it and he is not sure what is causing it. He said that it may be a problem with a oil sensor (maybe it got some gunk stuck to it), but wasn't sure and he said he it would be quite a lot of work to check it\clean it, he would have to remove the whole exhaust system to do it and probably it wouldn't be cheap. Does anyone know what could be causing it and is it something serious? Is it safe to keep riding the bike if it keeps happening?

General / Bellypan for FZS600 '02
« on: 01 April 2017, 01:21:59 am »
Does anyone know if the bellypan for FZS600 Boxeye model would fit Foxeye model? As far as I know they have the same engines so maybe the same one fits both.
I found 2 different types here, in blue that I need:
1. http://www.moorespeedracing.co.uk/skidmarx-yamaha-motorcycle-bellypans/yamaha-fazer-600-skidmarx-bellypan.html
2. http://www.moorespeedracing.co.uk/skidmarx-yamaha-motorcycle-bellypans/yamaha-fazer-600-2003-skidmarx-bellypan.html


They look exactly the same, but for some reason the one for Foxeye is almost 2x more expensive then the one for Boxeye model  :rolleyes
There is pretty much nothing available on eBay in blue. Does anyone know where else to look for it?

General / FZS600 '02 headlights upgrade
« on: 01 April 2017, 01:00:21 am »

Is it me or the original headlights in FZS600 '02 are extremely poor on dark roads?Can anyone advice how to upgrade it? Are there a brighter bulbs available for this model that won't melt the plastic cover; maybe some LEDs? I asked my mechanic about those and he said that it would cost around £80, which is way above my budget. Is there anything cheaper or is there any other solution? I heard that there is a MOD for Fazer Boxeye model that improves its headlights; maybe there is something similar for Foxeye model. Or maybe there is a decent set of spotlights available?

FZS600 Fazer / Louder exhaust can for FZS600
« on: 31 March 2017, 01:53:29 pm »

Hello All,
I would like to buy a louder exhaust can for my FZS600 and I have couple of questions.
1. Is it possible to buy universal exhaust can that will fit different type of bikes, in case I would like to use it on my next bike?
2. Will my bike use more petrol with a custom can? If yes how much more can it be? Currently it does around 43mpg (6.6l\100km)
3. Will it increase it's power?
4. Someone recommended me Delkovic cans. Is the brand any good?
5. Can anyone recommend something decent for around £100? I'm looking for something with a removable baffle. And I don't want it to be too loud. And probably made of steel, not a carbon fibre. Can be aftermarket.
