Hello


I need some room in the garage so am looking to sell my black 2001 fzs600

• I’ve owned it since 2018, currently around 42000 miles. MOT Valid until October. It’s been serviced in the last 500 miles. Brand new PR4 tires fitted 2000 miles ago, along with new braided brake lines on the front, new pads on the front, new chain and sprockets (standard gearing). Also put a new battery in it a month ago.
  
• USB power fitted with the output on the bars. Also has a quadlock mount fitted which can go with the bike if wanted.
  
• It’s got a small crack to the front fairing and a few small scratches on the top of the tank caused by grit getting under magentic pad of an old tank bag. Other than that it’s a tidy bike.
  
• It’s currently registered on a private plate, but will not be sold with the bike.
  
• I also stuck a beer clutch pack in her last summer, so less than 2000 miles on the clutch too.
  
• Located near Milton Keynes.
  
• Metzeler roadtecs were on when photos taken, now has Michelin PR4s.

Hello, today i finally got my fazer on the dyno after i ivanized it. The guy claims that it runs way to rich. He's saying that i need to get the idle jet 5 sizes smaller, the main jet 10 sized smaller and put the clips on the needles 1 step higher so the needle gets lower.
Can someone help me out here, i've done everything the way ivan described it.

Hi Peeps.


I'm on the hunt for a mint pair of 43mm Fazer 1000 stanchions.
I'm near Barnsley S/Yorkshire,  so if any of u fine Foccers have a pair not in use, I'd be interested if not too far away from me & the price is right.
I would prefer to view & collect.
Obviously they must be straight & free from pitting.
I will consider complete forks, but I only need stanchions for my rebuild & it's not easy to see a bent stanchion on a complete fork leg.




I would like at some point to upgrade the front end to R1 spec, funds don't allow at this time  :'(

Hi all,
as title says Im looking for Stock linkage dogbone for FZ1S (2009). Recently I got myself a Fazer and it is lowered too much, it is unacceptible for me plus it is very hard on the road. I dont feel safe driving it, no fun at all.
Maybe someone has it somewhere hidden or wants to get rid of it?
Part 24 on here: https://ie.fowlersparts.co.uk/parts/6451...c/rear-arm
Thank you.

The Government has released a way to check if your motorbike can use E10 fuel.

- https://check-vehicle-compatibility-e10-...ufacturer/

As a very rough guide, anything pre-1990 or so could be in trouble. The problems you will get if you use E10 in a non-compatible machine is poor running and potentially deterioration of the engine performance over time. The actual negatives are not clearly expressed by Government statements, and it’s hard to get definitive information.

Trying this on here first before it goes on fleabay for £1500 in the hope a Foccer will buy it and give her the care she deserves.


I bought her on 16/03/2012.  She was in lovely nick then and had obviously been well loved.  She's now showing her age (usual suspects, engine fins, radiator) and has a couple of  scratches on the tank (which is a replacement after I dropped the original while balancing the carbs, documented in the forums somewhere!)


She's all original other than stainless downpipes (I forget the make but they were the best recommended ones with link pipes), and a K&N washable air filter.


MOT until 25/04/2022.  I don't think she's ever had an MOT advisory.
Current mileage is 22,076.  Last few MOT mileages were 21,778;  21,459;  21,062


Service history is a bit thin on the ground as I've done it myself.  New fork oil last year, centre stand stripped, Hammerited and greased, calpiers overhauled (that was probably a while ago actually).  Tyres have virtually no wear, brake pads almost new (although I'm not that happy with them, may be worth swapping).  Front sprocket nut replaced with the uprated item by CMC at Clay Cross (for free!! Yay!)


Please see the pictures and ask anything you want to!


She's located in Winster, near Matlock Bath.

Oh yes, and she has a full tank of fuel which is unlikely to change before sale
Cheers
