Ive been trying to get a set of oem/std handlebars on ebay but either the bars are for the FZ1-N which has diffent end weights or they are the right bars but they want silly money for bars that are manky.

So my question is, what 3rd party bars have other people fitted?

- do any of them have the locating holes for the switchgear.
- which one have a more upswept height compared to std.
- which 3rd party HBs ones come with similar weighted bar ends?

I am 71 so not quick and I have done advanced riding training but this is interesting 

On a road I ride quite frequently it just so happens that on the same bend and some ten years apart I got photographed on my S2 and now on my SA 

What surprised my was the lean angle and body position had not changed over all that time 

Also still using my favourite riding gloves ?‍♂️        

Morning all,just a quick one ,anyone fitted a gear indicator to a 2000 yamaha fazer 600  If so what make ,how much ,where from and was it easy to fit ?

Hi everybody. 
I’m new to this site and new to Fazer ownership. I’ve looked at all the threads on this subject and just wanted to check my summary is correct:

I’ve measured my nut  (     ) and believe it’s 9mm so I should get a new one…? 

The washer tabs should be bent over (I don’t think they are now)?

The shaft thread diameter should measure 17.76 but can get away with 17.5mm?

The consensus seems to be to use locktite 270…? This needs to be heated to remove??

The torque for the new nut is 90nm?

Any suggestions for who currently does the cheapest good quality nut? £12.99 on eBay with the washer…

Ta.

Hi. 
Another newbie question:
I’ve bought a tidy 2003 fzs. The only issue with the appearance is the paint has flaked off the aluminium ends of the radiator. (Not the grills or end covers) 

Any recommendations for the best paint that’ll stick to the aluminium and withstand the heat?

Thanks. 

Morning,hope everyone is well,I got my 2000 yamaha fazer 600 very wet whilst out and the day after whilst riding I noticed the revs dropping from 5000 to 0 then back up to 5000,i replaced a dodgy double headlight conversion wiring with a proper plug thinking thatveas the cause but no luck,I did the unplug and plug in tps technique and it went to 10000 and will not adjust down to the usual 5000,the bike is fine on tickover and runs normal with no surging or flat spots,with the ignition on and the tps unplugged the revs jump 0 to 3000 then 0 and 3000 repeating  ,I bought a new tps and it had the bike still had same symptoms ,I bench  tested the new tps with a meter ,no reading between the outside two pins but either one of the outside and the center pin I got a reading of 5.9 but this didn't alter when I turned the tps as if it was the throttle twisting ,my old tps had no readings at all,basically was the new tps dodgy or am I looking at another problem that isn't tps related?,apologies for the long thread 
Cheers coeurdelion

Was looking at Getting Crash bars for a FZS600 2000 model. Any recommendations for where to source some decent ones. Was gonna put sliders on but apparently they aren't even nearly as good for protection. Has any used the German company , Heed I think it is. They do bars for just over 100 euro but theres no decent photos of them  
TIA.

How do you change your profile?

Mine still has a quote from 2005 and is a bit out of date now ?‍♂️
