FZS600 Fazer / Getting a Cat N write off back on the road - UK
« on: 01 September 2018, 09:50:53 am »
My bike was classed as a Cat N write off due to bent front forks.
I've searched the DVLA website and I'm a bit confused as it states to notify them when the bike is sold to the insurance company. I didn't sell it to them, I've kept the salvage.
I'm getting the forks repaired, so any advice on next steps with the DVLA is appreciated.

FZS600 Fazer / Replacement front forks after smash
« on: 19 July 2018, 11:23:32 am »
I was riding past stationary traffic and a van pulled out from a side street.  I hit the side of it, bent the forks back about four inches and sent me flying.

Anyway I need some new front forks.  Second hand on eBay the forks alone are selling for around £300.  I could buy a whole bike not running for £500.

Any other ideas on where to source?

FZS600 Fazer / Changed spark plugs then raidator burst
« on: 14 May 2018, 05:29:09 pm »
Hello all,

I changed my spark plugs for some CR8EIX iridium plugs and the bike seemed a lot quicker, great improvement.

However after 20 miles the radiator developed a hole and sprayed coolant everywhere.  I'm waiting on a replacement radiator but do you think it could be linked to the change of plugs?

FZS600 Fazer / Has anyone successfully fitted a cheap aftermarket tacho?
« on: 22 January 2018, 06:38:12 pm »
I've fitted a cheap chinese one and its all over the place.

It's not the speedo disconnect causing the issue as the revs bounce around well before 8k revs.

Has anyone successfully fitted a cheap tacho?

FZS600 Fazer / My Fazer cafe racer (possible scrambler)
« on: 16 October 2017, 09:29:58 pm »
Just got my bike back from having the rear end rebuilt.  I'm yet to paint it, will get that sorted this weekend.

Tempted to put some Continental TCK80's and go the scrambler look. Only pic I have at the moment, will take more hopefully tomorrow.

FZS600 Fazer / Headlight coming on when I pull in the clutch
« on: 28 July 2017, 09:31:32 am »
Did a bit of a streetfighter project and removed front fairing, changed headlights, indicators and handlebars.

Now I have a problem that when the clutch is pulled in the headlight comes on.  Release clutch and headlight goes off.

I believe it might be a grounding issue but I'm not sure how to fix it.  At the moment I just leave low beam on all the time.

Any ideas?

FZS600 Fazer / Have I blown my battery
« on: 23 July 2017, 10:33:51 pm »
Hello all,

I removed my front fairing, speedo, headlights and changed handlebars today.

All went smoothly until I went to start it and nothing happened.  Tried for another 30 secs and it finally worked and off I went, bike seemed to be running well and all electrics working.

Got home and starting issue is still there, will not respond to start button but eventually will start.  I have a look at the starter relay and undo the two bolts and positive battery terminal (I should have undone negative too, doh) one of the starter relay terminals drops onto the positive terminal, sparks and bike turns over a couple of times til I knock it away.

Put it all back together and now I have no electrics to lights indicators etc. Took battery out and when on charger it states flat battery, start charger and it shows full battery, turn off drops back to flat battery.

So have I cooked my battery?

What could have caused the first starting problem? Should i replace the starter relay?

Checked all fuses and none blown.
