fazer came out to play as we had had at least 5 hours without rain. 1/2 an hour on the fazer after a winter driving coaches really changes your perception of closing speeds :lol

are we going to B-o-t-W again?

after the bad start to the day at work, trying to resolve many problems that occurred at midnight as system clock somehow all fucked up!

started to write the report up and looked down at my desk and realised that I've had 9 cups of coffee since 720am!!

no wonder my head buzzing!

time to hit the water as got that lovely 240 mile commute back home in an hour! luckily i'm in the cage!

Hi guys, i'm a first time Fazer owner from Belgium checking in. I just bought this lovely Fzs1000 from 2003, after riding a Kawasaki zr7s and a bmw r1100gs.

I think my fuel pump is dead, no clicking, obvious signs of fuel starvation. Bike just spluttered and died on monday so I had a fiddle under the tank and  the bike starts and runs ok bypassing the pump but it needs a pump as flow alone isnt enough, splutters and dies if run too long, yestaurday I broke down in the blackwall tunnel(yes that was me...sorry! :o ) Ive been getting away with rocking/dry humping the bike and it whould fire back up but not in the tunnel(typical)! Has anyone got a spare in the dartford area? Or do you think it might be a relay issue? Ringing around breakers atm.

Ok just had my mot,which it passed  :thumbup ,got 2 advisories! 1st rear tyre worn which i knew about but the 2nd was cracked carb inlet rubbers,how/why would that affect it???  :grumble

Hello FOCCERS

Any one have any experience regarding if FZ6 wheels will easily transplant to a FZS600? If so, is there much hassle doing it?

Had a weird one today! Bike started fine but about a mile into my journey my oil and petrol lights came on despite not being low. I killed the engine and checked the oil and it was fine. On putting the switch to 'run' the bike started! There was also a buzzing noise coming from the right hand side casing, almost as though the starter motor is constantly on.

After work I took the starter switch apart but it's fine. The bike tried to start but the battery is rubbish. The relay by the battery was buzzing like nobody's business though. The oil and petrol lights were both still on. Bump started the bike and limped home (felt as though it wasn't firing properly on all cylinders). The buzzing noise was still coming from the right hand casing. Turned her off at home and back on again and she isn't trying to start herself which is a plus although the battery wouldn't kick over the starter, didn't even make an attempt.

Anyone got any ideas? I'm going to fully charge the battery and then check all connections and spray with WD40. I'm beginning to suspect the ignition switch might be the culprit. The odd thing is that I've never had any trouble with the bike until now and she started fine!

Thanks in advance for your suggestions.

I have a brand new genuine Yamaha left hand side radiator cover panel in silver up for grabs. £20 + p&p
