FZS600 Fazer / bike problem ?
« on: 13 October 2016, 07:01:09 pm »
Every time I decide to go out on my bike lately, I put my lid on but then, wet stuff starts falling out of the sky and it seems to be getting colder all the time.
Is this a common problem or have I bought a lemon ? :)

Seeing as the weather's a bit hot and unsettled, thought you may like to have a look at this.

FZS600 Fazer / coloured silicone coolant hoses ?
« on: 25 June 2016, 10:40:18 am »
Hi, does anyone know if the above are available for a 98 fazer ?
I've had a quick look on the interweb but not found anything so thought this would be the place to ask.
Cheers.

Introduction / Greetings from North Wales

Hi, had a few years without a roadbike and was sulking after selling the one I said I'd never part with, been riding and tinkering for 35 years and suffered withdrawal symptoms.
Had a look around for a middle weight and decided to build a streetfighter Fazer 600 then one cropped up with most of the mods I'd planned so snapped it up in a moment of madness.
Had the usual teething troubles with a bike that's been stood around but happy to say it's running pretty well now.
Picked up some handy info from the site already and hopefully I can return the favour by helping someone out one day.

General / how do I get back to mobile version of the site ?
« on: 15 June 2016, 09:14:44 pm »
I've managed to get on to the full site somehow but need to get back to mobile version to save data as I use phone for interweb.
Being a Luddite I'm a bit lost . Any ideas please ?
Cheers
Nick.

FZS600 Fazer / aftermarket plug caps ?
« on: 13 June 2016, 09:36:14 pm »
Hi, traced the poor running to grubby carbs, all cleaned and set back to factory settings but found a duff plug cap then. Had a fright when I saw the yamaha prices so wondered if anyone knows of an aftermarket 10 ohm cap that will do the job. Failing that it's the breakers.
NGK did do a cap which probably would've been the right shape and size but looks to be discontinued so any ideas would be helpful.
Thanks
Nick.

FZS600 Fazer / change of clocks
« on: 05 June 2016, 08:40:24 pm »
Hi, wondered if there are any electrical gurus who may be able to help me out . I'm looking to find out if the standard rev counter is  part of the engine management ? Just bought a 98 600 with an acewell digi speedo/rev counter. The bike was running rough so have stripped and cleaned the grubby carbs . I've read that there's a set up job with the TPS and the rev counter but have no rev counter so wondered if the throttle position and indicated revs work the advance and retard ?  If so, I'll pick up a cheap set of clocks and bung the rev counter under the seat but if there's a way to bypass or trick the system I'd rather do that.
I'm not even sure if there's a problem but it'd be another thing to look at if it's not a carb/inlet rubber or spark problem. Not had time to pop the carbs back on yet so just testing the water.
Thanks in advance for any help or advice .
