Daughter has a cbr600f breaking for bits. Got about 80% of the bike still. Most panels are damaged or not matching btw.
Still has frame and v5 with engine in it. Hangers, loom,bars cables et. All available if you happen to know anyone wants anything just pm me and I will see if she still has.
Engine was running but has now been in a garage under tarp for a year.
Also have 33bhp restrictor kit
A gen 1 swing arm and a 98-02 r1 swing arm

So this is in general as I'm sure it applies to all bikes.  Some questions:

My handlebars are bent (as you prolly know).  Do I :

Buy oem, rentec or something else ?
How hard/easy to fit ?
Buy risers?

The cut and shut is that I don't really notice they're bent but everyone else does.  I'm guessing that's a bad thing.  I want cheap and cheerful and better if I can and I know nowt about owt.

Hi, so i own a 99 fazer 600 with 31k on the clock. For the last 1000 miles or so i have had a cam chain tick when cold/ after riding for 10-15 mins. although after about 10-15 mins it did get a lot quieter. Anyway, i thought i would try the usual take the plugs out and roll back trick. Didn't work. So i decided to take the cam chain tensioner off and it was fully extended. i reset it and refitted and as i thought still a tick. Is this time for a new cam chain then?

I'm going to be doing this job myself and as the bike is my only transport i will need to do it quickly. (in one day hopefully) I'm going to do it in the frame with a rivet link and open ended cam chain.

Any advice on where to get the chain and how to best go about doing this would be great.#

Also one question that comes to mind is how do i split the old cam chain? do i need a special link splitter or just a bog standard one?

Thanks, Dan.

£70 for both exup cables for gen2 fz1, I have only had my fz1 about 1 month sold aftermarket can that was on the bike and original I got with bike must of been kicking about in a garage so lots of scratches all over the place no acident damage.and was taken of when bike was brand new,anyway bought another oem exhaust in great condition with exup and cables so bolted it on instead ,I sold the scratched exhaust and exup valve but he didn't want cables for sum stupid reason as it was sold as a package so there up for grabs

Hi guys

I have owned my 2001 Fazer 600 for 4-years and it has 15,000 miles on the clock, of which I have done 11,000. A week ago in Germany, I started to get a clunking at walking pace. I could hear the clunking and feel it through the footrests and handlebars. The frequency of clunking increases with engine speed and as I change up the box. At motorway speeds the frequency becomes a high pitched vibration which sends my hands numb. It is getting worse.
I have checked the chain tension / lubrication and both are ok (scot-oiler fitted). The chain looks as though it has one or two tightish links but is ok. The rear sprocket is ok. The gearbox sprocket is slightly hooked but I have seen worse. The gearbox sprocket nut was tight, very tight, I guess it is as it left the factorty.
I took out the rear wheel and took off the gearbox sprocket and pulled the chain out of the way. When I fired the bike up the clunking is there exactly the same. It seems to be from the output shaft bearing area although it could be the output shaft itself.
Has anyone else experienced anything similar?

After some prat knocked my FZ6 Fazer over in a car park last weekend, the motion sensor on my alarm doesn't work.

It still responds to the key fob and if I lift the seat without disarming it, the alarm will activate, but no matter how much I shake the bike around, it won't go off.

Having done some searching, it seems to be the same as a "Spyball" alarm (just with Yamaha branding).

Does anyone know if this is a) fixable or b) I can swap out the alarm unit without replacing all the wiring too (which might be a hassle)?

Hi guys.
First of all let me introduce myself. I am of 1952 vintage, so I guess that will make me one of your older members. I have a 2001 Fazer 600 which I bought 4 years ago and which has covered only 15,000 miles. I had one new in 2000 and thought it was a great bike, but things cropped up and it had to go. I have been riding bikes on the road for the last 44 years. I have owned about 30 bikes in all and have only been without one on three occasions, once for nine months and twice for six months.
I take part in the Round Britain Rally either on one of my bikes (the other is a 25 year old BMW K100RS but I hope you won't hold that against me) or in a Lomax 3-wheeler (ditto). My wife used to ride her own bike (BSA Starfire, Suzuki GT500A & Virago 535) but had to give it up on doctors orders. She can't even ride pillion anymore so the Lomax is the only way that she can take part in the rally.
I have always done all of my own servicing and maintenance, and saw your forum when I returned from Europe last weekend with gearbox problems  :o . I thought that someone may have experienced the same problems and could help with a diagnosis. So here goes.
Half way through a weeks tour of France, Belgium, Germany and Luxemburg the Fazer developed a clunking. At walking pace I can hear a clunking sound and feel it through the footrests and handlebars. As engine speed increases so does the frequency of the clunking. As I change up the box the clunking, which is in every gear, gets faster until at motorway speeds it is an awful vibration which causes me white-finger. I checked the chain tension and that was ok (I have only adjusted the tension twice in 11 thousand miles). Returning home I took off the gearbox sprocket cover and found the sprocket nut secure. Indeed it took a real effort to undo it. I took off the sprocket, dropped out the rear wheel and moved the chain out of the way. I then fired up the bike and found that the clunking was still there. It seemed to be coming from the gearbox output shaft. Even without the chain and sprocket fitted the clunking increased in frequency with both engine speed and as I changed up the box. I guess that it will be either the gearbox output shaft bearing or the shaft itself. Before I take the engine out and strip it (over winter, pension permitting), has anyone experienced a similar problem? 
Any comments would be most welcome.

Just been informed at work today that we're getting a new guy coming in to help in our (2 man) returns dept. Apparently, he helped to set up an owners club for some model of Yamaha or other - don't know what yet. He is also apparently into equine dentistry! Methinks there's some serious piss-taking to be done!
