A few weeks back my dog was savaged by another dog, this happened the morning my wife and i were going away for the weekend camping. The vets bill was £350 and we also put in a claim for the holiday, the 2 nights camping was £80. The small print said that the holiday claim could only be made if the injury was life threatening with the vets report. The vet said a hole in the neck was usually life threatening so we put the claim in. Tesco came back with the reply that camping in England could not be considered a holiday so that claim would not be honoured but the vets bill minus the excess.
I can feel an argument with a jobsworth coming on????

Some douche decided it'd be neighbourly to back into the gazer and crack the screen (as well and bending the right fairing mount and scuffing the mirror and cracking the fairing). May the wrath of faze be upon them. Screen is most urgent and it flaps around at 50mph now.


Also, anyone know if it'll get through an mot with a cracked screen as mines due in a few weeks...


Cheers all,

Hi guys, I'm new here. Just passed my mod2 and looking for the bike (yes don't own fazer yes, hope it is ok to ask you question about one).

Anyway I have spotted Fazer 2003 with 85k miles on the clock. For a grand.
Here is original description from the seller:
This is a 2003 Yamaha Fazer 600 in Silver with only 1 owner from new ( a Policeman ) It has done 85,000 miles but the owner looked after it with regular servicing.
It comes with a Datatool Alarm System 3 with Certificate and also comes with both Genuine Yamaha Keys with code tag. Service History up to 77,000 miles.
New Piston Rings fitted at 66,548 miles.
It has 2 x Datatool Alarm Fobs and it has a Scottoiler fitted.
There are Engine Crash bars too.
Mot Certificates from 2007 to 2013.
Mot untill March 31st 2013
Over 40 various bills for servicing works.
Owners Manual.

This is a lot of miles for a bike I guess. I did have a look, the black paint on the engine is piling off, crash bars are bit rusty (under the paint) but main frame looks OK. No scratches that I could see.
Engine starts on cold with out a problem, no strange noises etc. Tyres, sprockets and chain has still plenty of life in them. I think downpipes are stainless and they look really well/

So really looking for advice, is 85000 miles to much? Or shoul I buy it?

Hi Foccers, Any advice on managing the false neutral between 1st and 2nd gear? I've noticed it recently when changed up it is very 'clunky' and will occasionally go into neutral instead of 2nd OR grind a little before clunking into 2nd. Either way, it isnt very smooth! Any tips on gear change technique so it doesnt get worse? (cant be arsed swapping engines as its not THAT bad)

Hi all As on my profile am currently running a gen1 fazer thou and a buell s1, i'm thinking of putting all my eggs in one basket as it were but am in all honesty struggling finding something that beats the fazer, i really fancied the vfr1200 but sat on one and didn't like the riding position, i love the look of the xtz1200 but dont like the price. Come on chaps throw some suggestions/opinions this way.

Has anyone got a givi wingrack fitted to there mk1 Fazer600 ? Ive got a full wingrack an panniers i took off my old bike and would like to fit it to my fazer but for the life of me i cant find the fitting kit part number  :rolleyes  any help would be great or anyone have one gathering dust that they want to sell?

Hi guys,


Just a quick question, I've heard conflicting advise regarding up shifting, the main difference in the shifts being with or without clutch. I've been trying with clutch, which is fine when riding sedately but try and do it when going quick and the engine revs as I can't shut the throttle quick enough...


Without clutch it seems to shift a lot smoother, no over-revving of the engine and doesn't give any alarming clunking sounds, suppose its just like a slower version of an electronic shifting device!


What do you all do? and should I be avoiding any particular technique? Thanks
