I owned and enjoyed the same FZS600 (2002 foxeye) for 24 years.  It was stolen yesterday evening in Cambridge.  I'm gutted and expect it will probably turn up crashed and written off.  I'm trying to get it over it by looking at replacements.  Where to start??

I loved the Fazer as it suited my needs so perfectly.  Mostly a run-around with occasional motorway and A road day tours, and very occasional week long tour.  I've thought about getting another FZS600 - but I doubt I will find anything that was in as good nick as my own and feel depressed about needing to replace all the extras I had (including getting it uorated for ULEZ). So I'm thinking about a new bike.  Obviously the FZ6 is an option.  I like the look of the S2 and it is probably the closest thing to the FZS600.  I'm in my 50s and not a sporty rider and was also thinking about the FZ8.  Opinions on here seem to be mixed about it - although I think it looks great and probably a good fit for me.  Hope to stay in the Fazer family but am also reading reviews of Tracer 700 - and various others and then the thread starts unravelling and I find myself looking at Hondas.  Hopefully the forum will get me back on track :-)

My budget is ideally <4000 - but would stretch for something that I knew I'd keep for a long time.  I imagine this question gets asked all the time on this forum and I apologize in advance for that.  I would really appreciate any advice on where best to source bikes these days (its been 24 years since I was in the market !).  Ebay/MCN/Autotrader ?  Also if anyone has recommendations for local dealer in Cambridge area I'd appreciate it.

Hi Everyone - I've been riding the same Fazer 600 foxeye since 2004.  Based between West London (Brentford) and Cambridge.  Mostly short trips in and around town - with the very occasional tour.

Have often checked the forum for advice over the years - but never joined as I never felt a need to post anything.  Bike got stolen last night - and now keen to get advice from the club on how to replace my lost treasure.  Will try to find the right subgroup to post that question !

Just broke the  bleed nipple off the rear caliper when trying to bleed the system. I have two questions, why do Yamaha make them out of chocolate and what other calipers will fit? I notice the the 1000 blue spot is mentioned in the post below  but will anything else fit?

I've been able to secure a small supply of Genuine, New Old stock front nosecones for the Yamaha fzs1000 which are brand new, never fitted!

Prices will be cheaper if collected or maybe meet half way....

Hi everyone,

I live in Brittany, have had my fzs 600 2002 for about 6 years. I do the repairs and so will be looking for advice and tips. May be able to help with things I've already done too. 
Take care and ride safe.

Am I wrong in thinking I cannot upload pictures from my I phone onto the forum?

Can anyone decipher from the parts drawing, or know, the part number for the plastic clip that plugs into the underside of the left side of the frame retaining the cable, before the cable goes into the steel hook then heads right to the clutch. Tried to post a picture of a close up side of the bike but I’m afraid I must stop trying before my phone is smashed! Love bikes hate computers, phones, all tech shit!

Added another gadget today: an outside temperature thermometer. I mounted the sensor on the underside of the fairing, facing the airflow. The display is secured with a homemade bracket to the right handlebar clamp near the brake fluid reservoir, where I also mounted the reservoir for the chain lubrication system.

I did make the third bracket, however, partly to adjust the optimal viewing angle from the saddle. The display (weighs almost nothing) is secured with Velcro, as the two batteries will eventually need to be replaced.
