Dear all,

I have had to sell the Fazer due to an imminent move to Hong Kong. I just wanted to say thanks for all the help with may fazer problems, mods and questions. Great site to be involved in with lots of helpful folks. I fancy getting a fazer in Hong Kong so there maybe some more questions along the way.

Cheers dudes.

Hi kids,

I will be moving to Hong Kong in August and still want to ride. The problem is it as hot as fook out there in summer.

Now I like my leathers and ride in nothing else but in them I get a sweat on at 24 degrees. In Hong Kong it will get to 35 degrees plus in summer and be humid.

Now I know nothing is better than full leather and having had non-bike related skin graphts before I know they are not fun.

What are my options other than not riding ? Is there a leather/other combo that would work ?

Thanks for the help.

P.s I am not sure about textiles and I think jeans don't offer enough protection or none moving armour.

To answer my own question about a problem with a sticking throttle. It would not snap back when released.

I tried to oil the cable at first and this worked briefly but then it got sticky again. On the advice from a mate I removed the bar grip gave it a good clean and then sprayed some silicone on the handlebar and in the grip/throttle. This seems to have done the trick.

When I first looked inside the grip it looked very clean but it would seem that it was grease/dirt that was making it stick.

Might help someone with the same problem.

Hi guys,

Just done bike safe with the police which I can't recommend enough. Great blokes, great fun and I learnt loads.

Now to the point. I have a little up and down play in both the clutch and front brake levers. On the pull side they work fine but they do move up and down.

Is this simply a case of tightening up some screws/bolts or is it just age ? 1998 FZS 600.

Ok I was going to post on the other thread but it was to long and mostly an argument. One of my plugs (plug 1) is in at a different angle if only slight. It maybe that the thread has been stripped. Now the bike runs as per normal with no blowing around the plug.

Question

Has anyone had to re- thread a plug hole and is it expensive. On the last thread the starter stated a plug had snapped in his! Did you have to re thread or did you get it out. Is there any point in re threading if no blowing and the bike runs like normal. ?

Just taken my plugs out for a clean and they don't have the terminal on the top that goes on the top of the thread. Now as I have no point of reference is this normal .

Also iridium plugs or normal ? I hear that iridium are not worth the money for the Fazer ?

Hi guys,

I wired both my lights to come on when on dipped with an in line fuse. Now that it is MOT time should intake the fuse out and go back to the normal switching operation ? 1998 fazerFZS600

Cheers

I have a 1998 with 32k on the clock. I get a petrol smell from the exhaust even when the engine is hot. Is this normal and am I too used to my car with a cat with no smell. It idles fine and no other problems other than a bit of time to start from cold now more than in summer.

It has had new
Oil and filter
Plugs
Air filter
Fuel filter

I assume that it is just the age of the bike.
