FZS600 Fazer / rear shock again more ideas

« on: 16 June 2012, 08:55:41 pm »

as some of you may know from earlier posts i had a shock rebuild done by a chap in scotland
i have to say that it was real good to start with and still a lot better than the old one, but me being me i am always wondering if there is a cheap alternative.
so this is where you clever sods come in especially kebab.
my theories so far
the rear shock on a fazer 600 is 300mm eye to eye and according to the hagon web site is the same as the xj900s diversion and xvs1100 both using the same spring rate. the xj900 i dont think has a suspension linkage and the xvs1100 is a far heavier bike.
so this makes me think that yamaha cocked up the aluminium linkage bracket on the fazer so it needed a far heavier spring than should be needed for a bike of this weight.
having scanned ebay and looked at a lot of other linkages the relationship of the 3 pivot points look different to those on the fazer.
so in theory a different shock with different linkage block and different length dog bones should give the same overall effect.
now the question is which one - look at these links to see what i mean
http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/1996-Yamaha-TRX850-Rear-Suspension-Shock-Linkage-/110897722826?pt=UK_Motorcycle_Parts&hash=item19d204f5ca
http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Yamaha-FZS-600-Fazer-rear-shock-linkage-dog-bone-/150457237037?pt=UK_Motorcycle_Parts&hash=item2307f33e2d
this would then mean you could use a longer shock
your thoughts please

FZS600 Fazer / rear shock advice please fazer 600 2002

« on: 11 March 2012, 08:34:19 pm »

this has probably been done to death but i have treid searching but cannot find the answer i am looking for
so here goes.
i was out on the bike today and some of the roads were fairly bumpy anyway the back end of the bike seemed to wallow and was not very inspiring. the spring is set on the highest preload but one. the front end feels fine.
I am not the fastest or best rider and weight about 12 stone
so i am considering a rear shock change I am looking for a budget solution
i have seen mention of a 1000 fazer rear shock fitting a 600 but how hard is it and does it alter the ride height
also i have heard of an r6 shock on a 1000 fazer - so will an R6 shock fit a 600 fazer
or should i just accept that i cant ride for toffee
thanks in advance
thanks in advance

hi i am thinking about clearing out a few spares,
all parts are used and are going cheap i will put up photos if there is any interest
rear light with bulbs
bottom yolk with bearings lock nuts and top nut - chrome on top nut is good

ecu
fan
front brake hoses -original including manifold block (it you know what i mean)
coolant header tank
throttle cables
footrest bracket - right hand side front
throttle twist grip
front master cylinder
fairing infill panel - left hand side - none on ebay at moment
collection from chelmsford essex or i will post as cheaply as possible
i also have a centre stand that needs welding and a side stand that need straightening - these are both available free + postage or i will get them straightened/welded by a mate at mates rates if reqd.
i am aware that none of this worth a lot of money but i am more interested in helping someone keep a bike on the road cheaply
