FZS600 Fazer / Fork oil level problems!
« on: 15 August 2013, 05:54:11 pm »
Hi guys, I've put 475cc/ml of oil in the fork with the spring etc out of it, and that amount of oil is no way near enough?


I's about 280mm down from the top with 500ml in, whereas my Haynes manual says it should be 121mm from the top!


If I put any more in I won't have enough for the other fork, and while I could buy more I think I must be missing something that's making my level so low. I'm measuring this with the fork tube fully compressed into the slider (as far as I can get it to go anyway)


Any suggestions greatly appreciated!

FZS600 Fazer / Motorcycle News Was Right!
« on: 08 March 2013, 01:43:40 pm »
The other day Motorcycle News made the FZS600 their bike of the day, and the only bad thing they said about it was that the original downpipes rot away......just a couple of days before that, I'd noticed that mine were full of holes as shown below  :( 


I also managed to shear off 3 of the studs while taking the downpipes off, has anyone got any advise about removing them? There is some stud sticking out of the engine still, im thinking of welding a nut to the top of them.

FZS600 Fazer / More under seat storage?
« on: 16 February 2013, 02:31:41 pm »
Hey everyone,


While replacing my rear mudguard a few weeks back I realised I could probably gain more under seat storage by cutting out the curved part which comes upwards (the base of the under seat storage compartment) and replacing it with a flat piece of plastic to get extra room.


Since I've got a rear hugger I don't see why I need the mudguard to come up the way it does and it takes up valuable space in the under seat compartment.


Has anyone else thought about this/have any ideas? Any thoughts/input appreciated!


I think I'll have a practise with plastic welding on my old rear mudguard first!


Cheers all

FZS600 Fazer / Headlight Fuse is Melting, not breaking but MELTING!
« on: 04 November 2012, 01:46:25 pm »
Hey everybody, the headlights fuse on my FZS600 Fazer is getting extremely hot after about 30 seconds of having the lights on. So hot that it melted the plastic off of the fuse which then ran down into the fuse box.


I've re-wired the fuse to another fuse holder but I'm still having the same problem.  The ammeter showed around 10A at the fuse which explains why the 20A fuse is not breaking, just getting very hot.


Does anyone have any thoughts on what could be causing this? I have checked the majority of the wiring and the bulbs seem okay. I thought initially that water had caused it as the bike was out in the rain all day on the day the problem started, however it's been 4 days in the dry now and still no improvement.


Running out of ideas, please help!
