Hi all,
Just put a deposit down on an 02 FZS600 Fazer and am awaiting delivery next week. Been away from biking for 6 years due to slipped disc in back but all seems well at the moment so I'm going for it again...can't wait  .

Sorry if this is duplicating something already covered but I couldn't see it anywhere.

  Anticipating my 56 Fazer might not want to start after sitting in the alley for a few weeks during this inclement weather I decided to try to start her before I got kitted up so I could see if I needed to charge the battery. To my surprise & delight she came out screaming 1st time. Went off had a shower, did some bits & bobs then got kitted up & rolled her out. Must have been idling for at least half an hour by that time then foc me, I stalled it. Not a big problem, into neutral & start her up again. She lets's out a little cough & my display fades. A couple more tries & all I'm left with is the clicking sound. 20 minutes later I try again & she's back to life, went about 5 miles, stopped for fuel after which she started no problem.

Now my first thought is the battery but surely she wouldn't have started at all & the time left idling would have allowed it to charge itself up a little. Also the battery's little more than a year old so shouldn't be in too bad nick anyway. I'll stick the optimiser on at the weekend just to check but can anyone tell me if the symptoms sound familiar & offer a cheap solution?

Hey all, new owner here

I was changing my exhaust over to a new shiny one, when I came a cropper, the aftermarket exhaust manufacturer sent out came with one nut bolt and washer plus no instructions (by accident but how hard can it be?)

So I remove the hanger for the old exhaust (old exhaust already off at this point) and after a quick phone call the company I work out that my model of the FZ is different to the one they used when fitting the exhaust to it for demo purposes. The 2 bolts that go through the hanger and into the footrest don't come out the other side on mine (2012) whereas the 2010 model they fitted it to originally requires the nut to hold the bolt in place meaning it must come through and out the other side?

They're currently going down to their local dealer to compare this but I'm wondering if anybody out there with the FZ8 (faired or unfaired I don't think it matters as my dads is naked and the same setup as mine which is faired)

So do your exhaust hanger bolts go right through the foot peg hanger or do they just bolt into a pre threaded section and stop? I will be sourcing a shorter bolt today as it would appear that would solve the issue, and the manufacturer are sending out shorter bolts anyway whilst they find out what went wrong

Any help appreciated !

I'd really appreciate if people would fill in this survey. It's for my Son for his university Honours project and only takes a couple of minutes at most to fill in. The more people he can get to fill it in the better and it needs to be motorcyclists.

Cheers in advance to anyone who fills it in.

Just wondered if anyone has fitted a Datatool DIGI Gear Indicator to their Fazer. The wiring on the 02 to 03 is different to earlier models. Below is what I know and have gained info through Datatool/Scorpion but due to differences in models I want to play on the safe side before I start to butcher electrics.
