Hello all. Just wanted to say what's up. I came across a link for this site on the FZ1OA forum and figured I would join up. As the subject says..I'm from the US. Rhode Island to be specific. I have an 02 Gen 1 in silver. I bought is Dec. of 2011 and have put close to 10k on her so far. I have enjoyed talking to all the fz1 owners on the other forums and hope to get to know you all as well.

Hello all,
Bit of a noob, only just passed my DAS last week, and now looking to pick up a Fazer to get me started. Seen a nice FSZ600, '03 model, low miles and seemingly in pristine nick. What should I look out for when I check it out? Been warned to check the downpipes (still original black ones) and sticky brakes. What else?

First time, in eight years of ownership and I've now chucked it in a hedge. Total fuc up on my part.

I went to put the side stand up and I stood it up to far... and over to the other side. My garden hedge took the impact, but I had to fight my way into the shrubery to pick the Julie up. Damage: small scratch on the tank, scuff on the crash bobin, and my broken pride.

And it got worse later in the day. Flying a helicopter in the back garden after work. Airbourne for all of a minute and a small gust took it into another hedge. Damage: rear rotor blade broken, canopy cracked, and more broken pride.

Then later it got even worse. Spark ignitor on the cooker has now thrown a wobbly. The flame in the oven blew out and the ignitor did not re-ignite the gas, when most of the time while cooking the thing wouldn't shut up. Luckely I smelt the gas... from the other end of the house.

No my iphone pile of phoo has started to malfunction over wether there's a network on the sky.

Hi as anyone got a copy of Ride magazine write up about fz6 bike

Hi Peeps

Does anybody know if a MK1 Fzs1000 front fairing will fit a 2002 foxeye 600.??

Thanks in advance

hey guys trying to get fzs 600 haynes manual from downlaods area but not working any ideas

More problems with the old girl, after getting the new gearbox fitted and then re-fitting the engine and then getting the exup valve to work and then setting the exup valve correctly, I thought, yeah, it should be lovely now....but no! The bike is now running incredibly lean, to the point of it "pinking" when under load, plus it doesn't seem to have much grunt low down either!
Is there anything I should be looking for? Is it worth checking on the TPS setting? ANy other suggestions? 
The carbs haven't been touched during the strip down and rebuild, but could do with balancing. There is no Ivans fitted, which would probably cure a lot of issues, but I can't afford that just now!
Help!

Well i binned me bike today fellas and the right side of the bike is knackered  :'(
I need right hand rear set and foot peg and rear lever,  Right front brake lever and also a front fairing unit in silver if possible lol, and also a right hand rear mirror.
Cheers Redman 

I am thinking of maybe fitting a top box to my Gen2, from the bit of reading I have done to fit the Givi rack you need to cut the undertray section. I looked at the Motech rack and it looks like its easier to fit as it just bolts on.


I was wondering if anyone had the Motech rack? If so was it easy to fit? How does it look on the bike?


Thanks for your help

I managed to win a place on the Bennetts Ultimate Track day at Oulton Park next Tuesday  . This mine and my Fazer's first track day  :eek . Anyone got any track related "Fazer specific" tips (set-up, riding or otherwise) and/or experiences to share?
