Just seen a few pics of a few bikes off here that have had there forks, engine covers & wheels polished.
Impressed & very temped, but how do i go about it?

Hi Guys,[/size]Sorry if this question has been asked somewhere before. I've had my 2000 FZ600 on the road for 10 days now and She has about 64k miles on her. Got oil change and road local for the first 5 or 6 days before taking it on a 5 hr round trip ride to BHam. She road fantastically despite me.2 days later I started hearing a clicking type sound that went in time with the engine. It is clearly heard when I start it cold and probably for the first 10mins of riding after which it stops.One mechanic thinks its the cam chain and says I need 4 of them at 250quid to fix. The visible rubbers seals are cracked as well.I've also been reading on the web that the noise can be related to a tensioner as well. I'll spend what I have to to keep her healthy but am just looking for ways to confirm what the real issue is before I go throwing money around.Any suggestions or advice?

Also, I find that She can run very roughly at low speeds and not respond very quickly to the throttle. That all changes once we get going but if I end up having to go deep into cam chain money, I'd like to do whatever is needed to help her run smooth and be more responsive/tighter at low speeds.Thanks in advance for any insight or advice,

Just got licensed and put my first bike on the road which is a 2000 FZS600 I bought off of a co-worker.  400miles and some quick real world lessons later I'm totally stoked but starry eyed and empty headed re: things bike related.


Hoping to learn a lot and share in the joy of Fazer life.


Cheers!

Well spent 4 hours at "The Holiday Inn" doing the course, It was O.K. updated my highway code knowledge, it's almost 40years since I took my last test (car), coffee and biscuits provided when you arrived and at the break, the thing that surprised me was that out of 24 I was the only biker?

decided to sell the FZ6 Fazer as im just not using it 2004 faired model with 19000 miles in extremely good condition, taxed and tested and alarmed,almost new qualifiers, alarmed always kept in the garage. looking for £1795 ono call Tony 0775 2424 905 or email tony.williams1963@sky.com photos are available

Hi,

Has anyone any tips on how to avoid?

Thanks

I even got a mention in the article but the Mrs is on Daybreak in the morning.

hi all,got a 2000 w plate 600 with the square headlights and they are so poor at night i,d be better off sellotaping a torch to the fairing so reading all the old threads on here as i see it i,ve got 2 options ,
1 - do the headlight mod and wire the two together and buy some brighter bulbs or
2 - go onto ebay and buy the hid kit and have xenons in one headlight
cant make up my mind which way to go so hope you guys can steer me one way or another
cheers all

I heard on the radio today that they found a biker who had gone off the road 3 days ago and landed in a ditch, broken ribs and bones,suffering hyperthermia, still alive,lucky bugger,,Yorkshire i think,
