Having gotten used to riding a ZX9R and then an FZS1000 (both bigish, powerful bikes), having just gotten in from riding my new FZS 600 home it was a bit of a slap in the face!

The things like a bicycle to ride, feels very small and really tips into corners in a very nice way indeed with little effort. Wasn't originally that impressed with the power (although I did expect that having dropped 400ccs) but then remembered you actually have to rev a 600 - tried that and it gave me a rather pleasent surprise!

Did about 70 miles, seemed comfy enough and it reckons i've done 1/4 of a tank so looks good from an mpg perspective.

Initial things now are to get some photos taken and uploaded, give her a clean now she's been spattered in bugs, set the sag on the suspension, get a scottoiler and probably a bagster tak cover too!

Anyone know what thread they are, are they M8 standard or a special pitch! Dont want to buy the wrong one, also what length is the bolt? One of mine is FUBAR!

Finally got the bike mot'd.

went to the post office to get my road tax.  I didn't have any before going.
I went for 6 months but the guy said it doesn't start until the start of July?

Is that right?

Can you get instant road tax?

Hi All

Can I pick your brains again please?

I'm looking to replace my clutch lever as the reach is just a bit to long for my shortish fingers and the clutch bites when the lever is right out. There doesn't seem to be an adjuster like there is on the brake leaver. Does anyone know the best lever to buy for a 2002 fox eye fzs 600. Can you by them individually or are they only sold in pairs? I've attached a pic of my current clutch lever if this helps.

Thanks

I am getting a satnav (Nuvi 2547LM) for the bike for an upcoming trip to France and I am looking for opinions on the best way to power it.

The options I can think of are to fit a lighter socket
http://www.ebay.ie/itm/New-12V-Car-Motor...4d0d81dc04
or a usb converter
http://www.ebay.ie/itm/3M-DC-8-22V-12V-t...338212e36b

but both have me worried about weather. The socket is weather proof if nothing is plugged in, but not when it is running the satnav, and the usb adaptor is only weather proof when it is plugged in to the satnav.

Virtual pints for the best ideas.

well , finally found a fazer i liked at the right money , had it for 2 weeks and got rear ended and thumped off it while stationary at a round about . the little old lady pressed the accelerator instead of the brake while approaching the round about and hit me with enough force to knock me 30 feet across the road ,police and paramedics attended , went to hospital ,  the bikes a mess and the insurance have collected it and dropped off a nice cbf 1000 in its place . i really like it and now have a dilemma ..... fazer or cbf as a replacement .

Hello all,

I'm after a summer job (to pay the Fazer Insurance among other things), so I thought I'd post up here to see if anyone has any good suggestions.

I'm a 19yr old undergrad, just finished 2nd year of Aero Engineering, speak English and French fluently and good communications skills in Spanish. I have experience of working in small firms, and have experience as a waiter and as a assistant chef in a restaurant. Although, I'm not too fussed about the nature of the job.

Not too worried about where the job is either - have tent and Fazer, will travel!

Thanks in advance!

Has anyone tried fitting an R1 link pipe on a Fazer Thou?

Is the link pipe bigger where it fits to the Fazer manifold or is the pipe angle wrong?

I don't often get a chance to visit these days, due to various headfucks life has thrown in my general direction.    But I just want to say a big thank you to Deefer666,  Mark,  for not only looking after my bike(s),  when I went awol in the head,  and for charging me nothing,  even when I knew it(they) were taking up half the man's workspace.   
I can't say much more,  except if there were more people like Mark around,  the World wouldnt have any problems.


If you need any bodywork, or mechanical work doing,  PLEASE, do us all a favour,  and try and give the business to Mark.  He has treated me as good as my folks have when things got bad,  and "friends"  became invisible.


THANK YOU MARK!!!!!!!!!!


I  can't repay you fully in this lifetime,  but I'll try.
