Hi all , does anyone know if you can get some modded frame bungs ? seem them for the 1000 but cant find any for the gen1 600.

Hi just swapped my cb1300 for a 2004 fazer thou. Great bike & very happy with it.

on my travels the guy who done oil change said. great bike. your looking after it well. it a shame some part in the engine wears out through no fault of your own ? not shims. I have no idea what part or where the place was. anybody have an idea of what it was.

I've just heard that an old mate of mine has been living with a condition called Ulcerative Colitis for the last five years and I am told that he is having quite a hard time with it just recently. He's been off the 'scene' for the last month at least, I havn't seen him and I'm beginning to worry about the guy. I was thinking of going over to visit and/or try to get him out of the house for a clay shoot or something (that's one of the things he always enjoyed) but some of the other guys in the pub (mutual friends) say he's not keen to be 'socially active' at the moment and is best left until he sorts himself out.
I've never heard of this condition before, but I had a good read about it on the internet last night though, it's an inflamed intestine that brings pain and sometimes embarressment and it sounds awful, I wasn't surprised he has stayed indoors all this time, I would find it impossible to live with.
My scientist girlfriend says there is no cure but she says some people help themselves with all sorts of herbal teas and various 'snake oil' remedies, there's very little else to do. I would like to do something to help, I guess just visiting would be a start.
Has any foccers had experience of this illness?  Perhaps have a friend or relative with it who have ideas on how best to cope?

Why did Yamaha not get a mention, I know when the SX MK1 came out the FZ1 was used as the bench mark as a one on one test but not this time round. Kawasaki are now dominating this area of the market. I had a Z1000SX for nearly 3 years and can honestly say it was the most fun bike I ever owned, the 2014 model will take some beating, I still think the FZ1 performance wise would give the SX a run for it's money but ??? have Yamaha anything going today that is not old hat, not knocking the FZ1 but she is an aging beauty.
As a past CBF owner I posted this on there forum as well, I knew it would really wind them up especially the comment about rides like a Big Scooter, Oh the outrage from some on there

Hi people! I just want to start a topic about the grandfather of our fazers since the resource of this bikes are very limited, I hope we can help each other restoring this yamaha classic! Thanks

hi all,

well,after 8 years away from biking,i found myself in a position to get back on the road again,so being the cautious old git that i am,i did a 2 hour 'back to bikes' session with a local bike trainer, he provided the bike which was a 600 fazer and i instantley felt at home on it. my last bike was a thunderace 1000 so the fazer is a lot lighter and the sit up and beg riding position really suited me. so the plan to get a bandit/hornet went out the window as i knew i wanted a fazer,so after searching the web for a few days,i kept going back to one bike in particular,at a dealers in cardiff,which i brought last friday and is being dropped to my gaff in deep dark zummerset tomorow!! im like a kid waiting for christmas here 

being a complete PC numpty,im unable to put up a picture of it,but we all know what  a black 2001 fazer looks like. it has a rear hugger,rack,front fender extender thingy,and stainless down pipes on 14,500 miles.

things to do to it are braided front brake hoses,tank harness,Quill exhaust (the one that sounds sweet but is legal) and maybe a double bubble screen. oh,and ride it as much as possible!!  :lol

look forward to getting lots of tips off here,i already know that the front lights have candels in where the bulbs should be and ive not even riding in the dark yet,see how good you guys are to us newbie's?

Hi all,


My name is Ollie. I have been riding motorbikes for over 7 years now and have just changed to a Fazer. The majority of my biking experience has been the odd weekend ride on my Dad's 1995 Honda VT Shadow 600, possibly only doing 1000 miles a year (if that). I decided to buy my first big boy bike last year and went for a 2002 Honda Hornet 600.


I loved the bike, it rode really nicely and was plenty powerful for me! However, I use it commute to work. This journey to work is about 1 hour for me and after an hour in the saddle I found my backside started getting a little raw! This coupled with the fact that my girlfriend has expressed interest in going on a biking holiday next year, I decided to find something more touring capable. Hence, the Fazer.. In an ideal world, I would have gone for something bigger (1000cc+) but for insurance purposes, I thought that sticking to a 600 would aid affordability.


I am very happy with the Fazer.. Comfort is greatly improved over the hornet and I am now able to fit Givi panniers (hornet would not take these due to the exhaust).


I am a little lonely in the biking world as I dont have any friends who also bike, therefore I am always looking for new contacts in the nearby area who go out for rides every now and again. Let me know.


Thanks,


Ollie

Hi guys I'd like a bit of info please. I've been given a track day next year as a 65th birthday prezzy and my leathers are a  Spada Magma 2-piece leather suit. Is this suitable or if not is it possible to hire a suit at the circuit. I don't want to shell out for another suit. I'll be on my '08 fz1 fazer.

Ta very much
