It wouldn't be Java - although similarly named there's a difference between Java (which is rarely used except on some odd ball stuff like speed testers) and JavaScript, which is commonly used on almost all sites.


Suggest disabling any add-ons (add blockers etc in particular) clearing cache etc. And if you're using Internet Explorer try in Firefox or Chrome instead.


Otherwise Lewis might be the guy to ask as he has a pretty good channel.


Make sure you post a link once you have it working - can never have too many bike videos!

PS) Is it doing nothing at the stage where you're actually uploading the video? I.E. have you selected it from your computer at this stage? If large it might take a while to upload.

The service history (from previous owner) indicates the front & rear pads were both changed at 6000 miles for "Ceramic Carbon". No brand indicated.


My invoice from recent service shows the rear was changed for EBC FA104.


They stripped, cleaned and greased both calipers, and so I'd expect any serious problem would have been spotted. Bike feels good.

Hello Folks,


Bike went in for a service this week with local Yamaha dealership, all the standard stuff done and strait forward, but have been left with a question about front discs.


I asked for new pads front and rear - they've done the rear but said it wasn't worth doing the front as the discs are starting to wear and it'll just eat the pads.


Recommendation is that discs and pads should be changed at the same time in a couple of thousand miles. Estimated £300.


I've done 16,000 miles and was wondering if it's typical to need to replace brake discs at this mileage due to wear?


I'm eager to look after the bike well, but after telling the dealership I'll think about it and get back to them it's occurred to me that I can get quite a lot of pads for £300.


I'm going to take a really close look at the discs myself this afternoon and will let you know what I see, but I hadn't noticed any grooving.


They described it as a wavy feel when you run your fingers over them (but I don't think they meant anything as extreme as warping).




If it needs doing then it needs doing, but just trying to get a feel for the situation as it's a bit unexpected, and difficult to afford.


Any advice / experience welcome.


2002 FZS 600 16,000 miles


Thanks, Andy.

Also checkout youtube, there are some pretty good videos showing how to diagnose electrical faults, and showing multi-metre usage.

Are you struggling with all changes or in particular first to second?

Hi, Can anyone recommend soft luggage to fit an 02 FZS 600?


I've decided against hard luggage for the time being as I just can't afford it, but am really getting in to my touring.


I'd need to find myself a tank bag and a pair of saddle bags.


Does pretty much any bag fit any bike? Or are there specific ones which are known to fit the fazer well?


A mate lost his saddle bags on the M6 at speed and I'm eager to avoid a repeat of this incident. Do they all secure well?


Any recommendations and advice welcome.


Thanks, Andy

Haynes manual says NGK CR8E for FZS600.


Or Nippondenso U24ESR-N, which sounds a lot like your current plug.


Incidentally the CR9E is recommended for YZF 600 covered by same manual.

I think there's a copy of the haynes manual in the downloads section.


I think it's for models up to 2001 but should be there or there abouts.

Is it full headlight or just parking light? Just wondering if it's the ignition (all the way past on for parking light?)

Unlucky buddy. We've all done it and looks like you got away with it. At least you're not too proud to share.


Were you going down from second to first (but got neutral) or up from first to second (and got neutral)?


I like the audio - and the profanity. I was riding round wales over the weekend and having misjudged a corned found myself shouting Araf! Araf! lol

Hi,


Not specific to the Fazer, but some great vids I found showing how to clean and balance carbs here:

Also if you checkout the channel there's some others showing how to check battery and other electricals for faults.


Hope this helps, Andy

Congrats on your first fazer Have fun.


I'm on my first one too and have quickly become quite attached to it. Great bikes.

Just out of interest what is the best alround wet/dry tyre to have on my 2002 fzs 600?

After a little research I chose the Bridgestone BT023 series for all-round wet/dry sports touring tyres.


The BT023 is basically the updated version of the original BT021.


I'm very pleased with them, bike feels planted and handles well, and as sports tourers they should last pretty good with a bit of luck .
