FZS600 Fazer / stupid question!
« on: 07 September 2012, 08:23:03 pm »
on my instrument panel, there is a button which has 'clock' next to it. does that mean a proper clock, or a tripmeter or something? my haynes manual says nothing and i dont have the little handbook for it.

For Sale & Wanted / knackered fazer 600 wanted
« on: 25 August 2012, 03:39:22 pm »
if anyone has a knackered/blown up/damaged fazer gen 1 600, i'm looking for a base for a project. engine condition not important or suspension, as long as its mostly all there. dont want to travel further north than the midlands really, or further east than reading. must be dirty cheap mind! Ta.

General / prototype fazer pic
« on: 23 August 2012, 10:00:03 am »
i saw a pic on here somewhere of a modified/prototype 600 fazer. i think it was an artists impression with one headlight blanked off like an endurance fairing. anyone know what i'm on about?

if you have a shabby gen 1 600 fairing lying around, i'd be interested. if you have a headlight assembly and the nearside one is broken, i'll have that too! dont ask, its for a project i'm working on.

FZS600 Fazer / a-thrashin and a-clatterin!
« on: 06 August 2012, 10:53:18 am »
coming home last night and as i come into a roundabout i can hear a loud clattering noise. at first i thought my chain had stretched and was thrashing about but it was ok. could it be the clutch?

For Sale & Wanted / trail bike rolling frame
« on: 03 August 2012, 12:02:25 pm »
bit of a long shot but if anyone has a trail type rolling frame with V5 not too far from the south wales M4 corridor, i'd be interested. i have a cb250 rs engine so it needs to be roomy enough for a 4 stroke motor. thanks. (BTW i'm on ebay every day!)

General / good day for biking!
« on: 21 July 2012, 06:48:03 pm »
first proper thrash on the fazer 6 in the dry and loved every minute! lots of plod about though. the local mecca for bikes (llandovery) was heaving with power rangers posturing with their gleaming steeds, so i moved on up to the nearest burger van with a good number of proper bikers there. cracking day though.

Fazer 1000/FZ1 corner / fazer around town
« on: 18 July 2012, 09:42:01 pm »
is it me or is the 600 seriously bad around town? it judders and jerks like the cush drive rubbers have been removed and you have to stay in 2nd gear permanently. my divvy 600 was smooth at 15-25mph. on the open road however, its a great bike especially in the sweepers. but i'm seriously looking around for a little 125 just for town use. sachs madass would be cool but they aint cheap.

FZS600 Fazer / thundercat forks
« on: 11 July 2012, 05:35:07 pm »
can a thundercat front end be retrofitted to a gen 1 600? they look similar in the haynes manual but the YZF ones have more adjustment

FZS600 Fazer / front sprocket cover gasket
« on: 07 July 2012, 03:52:11 pm »
just took off the sprocket cover to check whether the sprocket nut is the correct one, and the gasket falls apart. i went on the wemoto site but they only do the complete gasket set. anyone know where to get one or is it a case of make your own? ta.

General / rainy ride out
« on: 04 July 2012, 07:48:48 am »
few of us in my local club are so fed up with the weather, we organised a rainy rideout. not many miles but there were six of us in the pouring rain having a laugh. we stopped in a pub siitting in our not particularly '100% waterproof' clothing but it was good to get out there. it looks like this weather is here to stay for a while so get out there and enjoy!

General / word of advice on tank bags!
« on: 20 June 2012, 07:19:31 pm »
dont store it on the floor of your shed if you do some sawing and filing etc. the magnets picked up bits of swarf and when i took the bag off my shiny fazer, there were little scratches on the tank. doh...

« on: 11 June 2012, 07:40:27 pm »
i know the 25mm jack up thing has been done to death, but is there any benefit to buying a more expensive kit or is the cheap one just as good? ta.

FZS600 Fazer / running a bit rich?
« on: 08 June 2012, 09:55:32 am »
my new fazer gen 1 stinks of petrol constantly and a bit of white smoke from the pipe. the previous owner reckoned he only got 40mpg. what needs doing? is it a carb balance or a retune? other than that, its a very clean low mileage bike. ta.
