New to Fazers
« on: 22 December 2013, 08:26:01 am »
Hi everyone. Just a quick post to introduce myself to what looks like a very useful site!


I have only just started out on Fazer ownership but have had bikes since passing my test in 1999. I was offered the chance of a good condition 2000 model from a mate at work and within about 3 days, I had the bike home in the garage...


It's currently off the road, but only as the previous owner has had it sitting for a couple of years and let all the paperwork lapse. It needs a wee tidy up (but not much at all), MoT'd and taxed and we should be good to go with a wee fun winter / commuting bike. Everything seems in good order with the bike, no bodywork issues and the rest of it including the fasteners are all in much better condition than I had expected. It's not the best colour being the gold and black, but it's growing on me already!

I've stuck a new battery in and it's running fine, it needs a wee overhaul of the rear brake and for some reason it's sporting a Euro spec headlight so I'm on the lookout for a UK spec one to get it ready for the MoT. Other than that, I'm looking forward to taking it out for a good run!

Cheers.

Andy

Welcome,


Gold and black is one of the better colours, is it a fzs600s, or a fzs600?

I think it's an S but I'm not sure to be honest.

Reading the info in the carb'd Fazer section I think it's an S...

Hi, yeah that's the one then. Definitely got adjustment on the forks which made me think it was an S too.

It seems to be in cracking nick so I'm pretty chuffed with it. I got it for an absolute bargain too so it's looking like it was a good buy. Have sourced a headlight which was a fair whack but that's the last thing to get it ready for the MoT so hopefully I can get that sorted by mid January.

Based in Aberdeen area during the week but live in the Central Belt. Likely the Fazer will stay up the road for commuting but I might use it for running up and down too.

Really looking forward to getting it on the road. :)
