FZS600 Fazer / Jack Up Kits Explained??
« on: 06 May 2012, 06:47:33 pm »
Can I ask the wisdom of you folks about 25mm jack up kits. I've heard they're good and improve the handling but could someone explain how they do this and if possible give a link for the right kit for a 2002 foxeye if recommended

FZS600 Fazer / Warm starting problem
« on: 04 May 2012, 10:48:31 am »
Just a quick question about my 2002 fzs600s with 8k miles. I've never had a problem with starting. Always fired first time on the button as a new battery was put in a month ago. However after being out on her for 30mins and stopped for 20mins and when trying to start her again she turned over but took a while to fire. That night she was harder to start again turning over for 1-2mins but she fired. At this point the fuel light had just came on so I filled her with fuel and she seemed to fire up fine again on the button. Another couple of cold starts later and she fired again fine but since another warm start she took 2-3 goes to get her to fire.

I had been thinking it was a fuel issue, possibly a bit of dirt in the tank as after she was filled she appears to be ok bar the 1 dodgy warm start.
Am I on the right lines or does this point towards another issue? I only bought the bike a couple of months ago. She was mint but I believe still has the original plugs.

Any opinions greatly received....cheers in advance!

FZS600 Fazer / K&N Airfilter increasing horsepower?
« on: 05 April 2012, 12:36:46 pm »
I am just about to replace my stock Airfilter with a K&N filter which promises to increase horsepower by up to 4%. Can anyone tell me or does anyone know if this claim is true, will there be any improvement in horse power or is this impossible on a standard setup?

FZS600 Fazer / Premium grade petrol enhancing performance and mpg
« on: 01 April 2012, 09:56:40 pm »
Just wondering if anyone has any opinions on premium grade petrol with the fzs600. For example will using a product like bp ultimate petrol give a significant improvement on performance and mpg or is it negligible between using something like tesco brand?

FZS600 Fazer / Oil and filter change
« on: 22 March 2012, 04:31:17 pm »
Hi guys just looking a bit of advice on my new fzs600 2002 with 6.5k miles. Just bought it but was going to change the oil and filters.

What oil and filters do you recommend? I don't mind spending a bit more for a better product if it is worth it and good for the bike.

Also have you any other suggestions on what to check/change. Everything else seems to be in great nick...chain etc

Cheers

Chris

FZS600 Fazer / Fzs600 & fzs600s
« on: 18 March 2012, 02:23:04 am »
Hi everyone. This is my second post. I wrote on here two weeks ago when asking advice whether to buy a fzs600 2002 or a fz6 for my first bike. Well I went for the fzs600 and I love it. It's mint as well!

Anyway my question is my bike was sold as a fzs600's'. What are the differences between a fzs600 and a fzs600s if there are any or are they really the same bike?

FZS600 Fazer / New to bikes, New to Yamaha and hopefully Fazer. Advice sought
« on: 07 March 2012, 01:12:24 pm »
Hey everyone. I apologise if a similar topic has been posted here but I just want to get a bit of advice from people who know. I am hopefully about to buy my first bike...a fazer in the next week or so and I have two options I am torn between.
One of the bikes is a 2002 Fazer 600s with belly pan. It has only 6k miles and has been totally cherished and really is in showroom condition. Unfortunately it requires tax and MOT. The seller is looking £2100.
The other bike is also a very very clean 2007 FZ6 S2 in blue with 10k miles. It has 8 mths MOT but needs taxed. The seller is looking £2250.
I have heard that the older bikes are better and as this would be my first bike I want to make the right decision. I am concerned about the older bike needing work soon, or seals failing due to its age but it has been garaged and is immaculate. You really would be hard pushed finding a better example at a year old.

I am just really interested in you guys views on this. How do the level of miles compare to the age etc.

Look forward to reading your replies...

Regards

Chris
