Had a problem with my radiator fan on my FZ6S2 - it wouldnt come on- known about it for some time but got reminded on Friday after a 'spirited' ride on a warm afternoon I got caught at some convoy controlled road works.

At 117degC the temperature light came on and the temperature display started to flash- didnt know whether to shut the engine off or way for the convoy to come through. Got to 120 before I could move off and the temperature came straight down with diligent use of the clutch to get the air through.

Use dit since and had no problems. Booked it into the local bike shop (not Yamaha) this morning and rode into toen and dropped it off- no problems

Went to pick up the bike tonight and found that the mechanic couldnt start the bike. He wondered if I had damaged the key dropping it through the letterbox this morning- had my spare key but that made no difference.

Engine turned over but would not fire and the temperature display says HI and flashing although it was fine when I left it.

Mechanic had phoned the local Yamaha garage who suggested holding select and reset while turning on the ignotion gets you into some sort of mechanics test code- move it up to 54 and that starts the fan even if the engine is cold so you can test it.

There it is- engine is imobilised and wont start HISS red flashing light goes off with the igntion. normal washing its face and normal display apart from the temperature display saying HI and flashing. Assuming this is not a cheary greeting any ideas what is wrong?

Hy there, new to the site have just registered today.

After a spell away from the fazer, (zx12r for just over a year), I coundnt stand it any longer, so bye bye zx and hello 2004 fazer 1000.
I previously had a fazer but just fancied a try of the power of the Kawasaki, eventually got sick of it drinking fuel like it was going out of fashion and aching arms and shoulders.
Picked up a bargan mint std bike, promised myself I would leave as is, as their pretty good in std form, but two weeks later couldnt resist I have ordered a road leagal Pipe Werx can which has arrived today and I am very impressed with (not yet fitted) but looks very good quality.
To go one step further because I will not settle until Ive tried it, I have ordered a Ivans slip on kit which I will be fitting myself.
I just hope its as good as they say because I have had numerious bikes in the past which have had dynojet kits and power comanders etc fitted and to be honest yes some did make a small differance but £for£ was it worth it probably not.

Anyway hello everyone its nice to be back on the fazer.

A mate asked if he could borrow my satnag so I got it out of the garage and left it on the boot of the car while I locked the garage, drove to the Post office...................................................................

Seriously tempted on this one NOT

Hello

I'd like to slightly improve headlights (and maybe later tail lights) of my Fazer.
I'd like them to retain stock look of the headlights with maybe modernized internals, such as lenses with ordinary bulbs or maybe even xenons, but xenons require lenses anyway.
I tried searching for something like that but didn't find anything, maybe you have some suggestions?
I must say that I don't like mods that require changing of the front mask or any drastic alterations to the bike whatsoever, so basically I'm searching for something nearest to stock look..

Problem started lastnight sure the return spring up the ghost.as had the same syptoms on another thou many moons ago but this time im opting out the repair myself ordered both springs an gaskets this morning.
I have a halfords pro socket set an various other tools in the garage from what i see looks pretty straight forward but any pointers on how long it should take an little trick would be appreicated.

right, I don't normally do this but here goes............I'm doing the marathon but the twist is I'm carrying a 55lb back pack (please don't start about knees/back etc as I'm getting enough grief of the mrs)
monies raised will go to children who have suffered burns (Alder Hey Childrens hospital (burns unit) they take kids from all over)
if you can spare anything at all then please follow my link
thanks a lot http://www.justgiving.com/John-McBrion

Very impressed with the Fazer, cheap to run and fun, loads better than the train.

Hi, I come from Croatia and...well, just found out about this forum so figured out it would be good to check it out, maybe ask a few questions and see what happens 
I'm gonna introduce my Fazer and write about it here, after all, it's what we're all here for...  :lol
