2003 Yamaha FZS600 Fazer Rebuild

But that was 8 years ago…. !!!!!  I’m semi-retired now… the furthest I commute now is from the bedroom to the kitchen for breakfast….. ?

Anyone remember these???  I have (had) one on my fazer... but the display is dropping some segments and the sender in place of the neutral switch has seen better days..... pity they are no longer available... was a great product...

Hi grey matter of the Forum,

I'd like to ask a question. Maybe more then one. Ok, this is the scenario -

I have a FZ1 S 2011 ABS with Healtech SpeedoHealer v4 installed to correct my sprockets ratio 16T / 46T  (520). I'm planning to install the DynoJet Power Commander V.

My question is, Could it goes in conflict? Could I control the sprockets ratio with PC? Could I keep both? Anyone had any experience about this scenario?

Thank you Guys
Cheers
Oscar

I dropped my 08 FZ6/S2 into a local shop near work last week for a stuck brake light and got him to do the fluids as it'd been over a year since anyone looked at it. I mentioned that I'd had a bit of coolant hiss and spill about 6 months ago but had put it down to an air bubble. He topped it up. A couple of days later the bike dumped a load of the new coolant in a big hissy fit, out top and bottom of hoses when it was switched off.


When I rang my guy to tell him this and get advice he's saying the head gasket is most likely busted, that it would cost upwards of 5-600 quid to repair possibly more because there could be further damage in the heads and that he thinks it might be better to get a new engine !


This is a pretty huge shock given that 5 days ago I thought I was the proud owner of a mint condition bike with only 20K miles on. Now I might have scrap on my hands. Actually he questioned the mileage also and said he thinks it's probably clocked, and that these engines shouldn't blow gaskets until 100K.


What do you guys think. Is this the only possible reason for the coolant dumping incidents ? What would you do ?

Anybody know anything about the US fazer site being down?


It’s been down for sometime now, wondering, hoping, it will come back online.

Hi all, i wanted to put some wider bars on my bike, i have allready put bar risers 1 up and  1 inch back on with std bars but want to fit some wider bars. i like the combined up and back and now wider.
my brother gave me some old wider bars to try and it all fits and feels good, exept the master cyclinder crashes in to the fairing preventing full lock.  its a big old master block on the FZS and i thought id get full lock with a smaller master particularly one that has a remote reservoir hosed to the lever assy ( as my triumph does ) then id have far more mounting flexibility.  however any replacement has to deliver same fluid displacement etc, so has anyone used a different master cyl lever on the fzs than the std one ? .


hoping to find something from a breaker but first need to find something with similar fluid pushing performance and with a small or remote master reservoir.
any thoughts ?


TIA 

The fazer is back on the road, and going like a fazer should and I'm like a dog with 2 dicks..


Had carbs on and off a few times, trying to sort out flat spot, getting annoyed,turns out it was the fuel pump all along.. :rolleyes


Thanks to all for their input,I have learned loads about the fuel system not scared of tackling any job on her now..


Juat gonna ride her everywhere and catch up on lost road craft.


What to do next ??? :rollin

Hi,
Just to check, will the piston seal in the master cylinder interchange with any of the 14mm OEM type? I would like to get any of those 14mm piston of other made and transfer the seal over due to cost and availability . Any one tried?
