No, not a knackered one for a change
Serviced mine yesterday and everything came out with ease thx to the copper slip and spring washers.
But I did notice to things that may cause issues later.
Top cable has very slight fraying as it enters the outer cover
But what caught my eye was the end plate and just how worn its starting to get.
Works 100% no rattle, squeak or anything but really starting to grove the end plate as per pic.




Anyone else noticed thier plate doing it to?

hi all me thinking about buying a fz8, currently got a 2000, model 600, they any good?

Hey guys,

As per my post in the 600 section, after a few bits to personalise my new bike a bit.
Certainly on the list is a monokey compatible topbox rack.
Would also be interested in a bagster tank cover for it (it's a bright red 03 foxeye)
After a scottoiler and braided brake hoses too!

Could potentially be after pretty much any bits at the right price though, so what random bits have you got lying around you'd like some beer tokens for?

Well guys, as is the way with a new bike to yourself, you feel the need to give it a bit of a check, and do personalise it a bit - make it more your own.

Aside from the front sprocket nut, are there any other hidden things that need to be checked on Fazer? She certainly runs and looks fine, but anything on the inside that would be a good shout?

Also want to personalise her a bit, the brakes are on the original lines and feel a little squishy (although sure pull the bike up hard when slammed on!) so I'll be getting a set of braided hoses for her. Will also be after a monokey compatible topbox rack to pop a box back on her, and possibly a few other bits if money allows - particularly want a Scottoiler and possibly a bagster tank cover (if I can figure out what colour it is I've got!).

Are there any particular modifications that make a really big riding difference to a Fazer 6? The screen I feel could be a tad higher, but I'm going to leave it at the moment as it does limit my motorway cruising speed nicely to about 85! Only other thing I can think of along these lines are possibly changing the handlebars as they do feel quite upright and close, which is a bit of an odd feeling!

Also got a rear seat that has a rip in it to get recovered, would make sense to get it reshaped to make it a bit more comfy whils I'm at it - anyone able to recommend any good shapers in the Leicestershire/general Midlands area?

I took my 2000 fazer for a mot last week, he said wow that,s well looked after, he only checked the brakes, and gave my a mot, just said I can see there is no need to check anything else lol, happy days.

Does anyone happen to have either a rear hugger or a double bubble screen for a 1998 fzs600?

Let me know prices and i may take it off you hands.

Thanks, Dan.

Hi All,


So after having my new fazer 600 for all of 5 minutes, the front wheel slipped at a petrol station, scrapping the hell out of the front fairing as it hit the deck.


Would any one know of anywhere to get a yellow fairing, either fixed or replaced? Or better still, have a spare lying around that they would part with for some cash?


James

As above double bubble and givi rack wanted for my 03 Fazer thou


Thanks
