FZS600 Fazer / M.O.T Questionn :)

« on: 06 June 2012, 08:01:49 pm »

Anyone know if my fazer needs sidelights to pass mot ?? Don't think they've ever worked since i've had the bike and this is the first mot i'm giving her.. I have working headlights ( low & High beam ) And there's obviosly no parking lights involved so in my opinion I don't see why I should need them but obviously I don't have a clue :/

Any Ideas ??

FZS600 Fazer / Time to get the fazer readyy !!

« on: 13 May 2012, 03:12:58 pm »

After 5 months of stupidly getting disqualified It's time for me to get my bike ready for june 22nd

Basically the main thing that i've got to do is replace my engine and i'm asking whether anyone has done this and could possible give me a step by step guide if it's not to much trouble.

Also i've noticed as she's been sat outside for a few months the brakes are sticking, took her for a little half mile run, got back and the discs where red hot and i'm guessing, Come MOT time it's probably going to fail on this.

Is there anything I should do to the brakes to try and free them up a bit, or is it a sort of thing that would kind of fix its self as she starts riding again?

Any help would be muchly appreciated as i've only got a month really to get her back and ready

Cheers in advance

FZS600 Fazer / Thinking of selling :/

« on: 17 March 2012, 10:10:13 am »

Hi there people!!

it's come to the point of thinking of letting go of my fazer.

It's just been sat outside since September due to me very, very stupidly loosing my licence for 6 months ( TW@ I knoww )

I'll just run through a few points.

2001 yamaha fzs fazer 600
57,000 miles
currently sorn ( which can be sorted as still insured)
M.O.T literally ran out today but i personally think only a front tyre and she'll fly through.
Renthal bars and dominator headlights.
braided lines
FZS 1000 rear caliper.
Scott oiler
Gold chain
K&N air filter
[size=78%]Done the mod a few weeks back which was on here changing speedo lights to blue.[/size]

Right, That's just a few pointers as to which I can remember off the top of my head. I'm thinking of selling as this is sadly one of the poor fazers that suffers that deadly slip of 2nd gear BUT it's not all bad as I have a replacement lump which is a 2002 model 600, And with only 9,000 (unverified) but that's what the ebay listing said, but that on it's own set me back a fair old bit of £££.

I'm basically here to see if anyone would be interested in buying her or of some numbers in which I should sell for ?! Although still contemplating weather to sell both items seperatly as the engine is probably worth £300 easy, Or sell bike and engine together.

Here's some pics ( quite recent ) just to let you guys know what she looks like, Bearing in mine she's a bit rough around the edges she's still not that bad..

FZS600 Fazer / LED Tail light ??!! Who's got one ??

« on: 26 February 2012, 12:14:55 pm »

Hi again peeps,

What it is I've spotted a smoked LED tail light for the fazer 98-03 And I'm just wondering if anyone has bought one and fitted and weather they could give me their opinion as to what it looks like and possible upload a picture so I can see for myself. I'm considering getting it bust as it costs £50 I want to try and see what it looks like first but surely it's got to look better than the standard tail light..

Also just one more thing, I'm currently and the beginning of the revamp of my Fazer for the summer. Managed to get me a 2002 engine with only 9,000 miles on for a great price as my engine suffered from the what looks progressively famous the more I read about it slipping second gear!! But I'm in need of a chain and sprocket set and don't really know where to start... What's the best you would all recommend??

Cheers guyss

Will look forward to hearing from you

FZS600 Fazer / Been Quoted for an engine replacement... Helpp !

« on: 23 January 2012, 02:52:11 pm »

Hi guys, I've been quoted £250 max for an engine replacement that's with me, obviously providing the engine, oil, oil filter and spark plugs.
Does this sound reasonable or shall I carry on looking for cheaper ?

The mechanic says it's an all day job but I was under the understanding (just guessing really) like 5 hours at most if all goes to plan, which at his standard rate of £30 P/H would be around the £150 mark.

Has anyone actually replaced an engine on the fazer and would be able to tell me how many hours labour it took you, Obviously from taking the old one out, Putting replacement in so she runs..

Many thanks in advance

Hi there

I'm looking into polishing up and tarting up my downpipes, although don't really know where to start and how to do it.

Would anyone be able to help me out on this if you've attempted this before ?

FZS600 Fazer / Idea's on what engines will fit in the fzs600 (2001)

« on: 10 January 2012, 11:49:21 am »

Hi there,

This is my first post here and I'm after some help.
My Fazer is getting a bit worse for ware now with 57,000 miles on the clock and also not being able to stay in 2nd gear ( bent dogbones or something ) and I'm after a second hand engine but I am unsure weather to stay with the original 600 lump or try and see if any others fit.

I would like to try and get a larger engine in there I.E 1000 FZS lump would this be possible?

I have heard that the YZF 600 Thundercat engine fits but that to me is just a rumour.

Just wondering if anyone has any knowledge of what I can do in this situation ?

The bike still runs fine but just can't get on with having no 2nd gear. Any help will be appreciated.

Cheers guys
