My Fazer & Fitting a Givi Rack

[simonz1red]

Hi All. Here is my 2001 FZS600 I bought two weeks ago and it's the first Yamaha I have had since my YDS7 in the 1970's!! The photos are the dealer's shots off their website but she is in great condition having had only one owner from new. Pretty sure she is standard apart from the Delkevic end can.

I use her mainly for commuting and I have just bought a Givi 340F rack for my existing topbox. It's probably me but I don't find the fitting instructions too clear. Can anyone give me an "idiot's guide" on how to fit it?

Cheers, Simon

Remove the seat
Remove the Grab Rail, pick out the rubber covers and undo the bolts
Remove the rear cowling. 2 bolts under the seat, two plastic screws which are pulled out when you undo the plastic screws under the front part of the cowling and 2 bolts (need a good fitting screwdriver) near the rear light. The cowling pulls out from the rear and is a bit fiddly and you may have to pull it apart gently to clear the sides.
Fit the bracket as shown in the picture A (instruction leaflet) and replace the cowling and grab rail. Spacer number 3 (instruction leaflet) is not required on your model because of the different grab rail and was only required on the 98/99 Fazers.
Remove the footrests and put the bolts aside as they are replaced by the number 6 (instruction leaflet) bolts
Spacer number 5 (instruction leaflet) fits on under the footrest  front bolt to allow for the extra space used by the carrier rail on the rear bolt.
Number 7 (instruction leaflet) bolts are bolted through the rail onto the bracket you fitted under the cowling.
Have fun.

Well wear.
