As soon as i have i mentioned that im going to sell my FZS600 it has developed a sudden misfire. I was having a hoot on it yesterday scrubbing in a new front tyre but i needed to fill up. So, engine off, buy some fuel but when i restart it, it's only running on 3 cylinders.

Plugs are new, all leads are checked and connected properly. I'm thinking that the coil pack has gone kaput maybe? How do i check these things and any other ideas?

Cheers

Due to me getting the 7g error message I decided to service my exup at the weekend and it looks like ive f*cked it up , when Id fitted it I turned the ignition on,no probs so I went for a ride a few miles down the road the 7g error comes up again , went home stripped it down and refit a couple of times to no avail.
When its all fitted it rotates so far then tightens up and on inspection when I held a straight edge to it its got a slight bevel from the back side bending up. I went to the Yam dealers in Chorley and spoke to a mechanic he told me if its bent its goosed throw it away,then said my best option was to throw it away take the cables of and seal the hole with a bolt,job done. I said as far as I was aware this would have an averse effect on the bikes performance he shrugged and said my options were all expensive.
Rang another dealer just to price a new valve £282+ vat  Shit !  Any advice or better still reasonably priced spare valves would be most welcome

As it says in the title gas gas 270 trials bike, recent engine rebuild with all genuine gas gas parts, all new suspension link bearings and bushes, new wheel bearings and brake pads. Nice tidy trials bike with the usual bumps and scrapes you would expect. Advertised on gumtree for £750 but open to sensible offers to forum members.. will post pics as soon as i find out how to

Hi all

Been making some enqs about a givi fixing fit for a 99t 600 Fazer and seem to have drawn a blank. After a kit to mount a full givi racking system not just a top box affair.
Any info would be appreciated.
Thanks

Hi, in advance.

I am looking for some advice. I have bought some Oxford hot grips to fit to my 2002 FZS600. Ideally I would like to have them switched so they cannot beleft on when the ignition is off but do not know where best to connect them. Have read Alot that says not to splice into lighting circuits etc., some am looking at using a piggyback fuze connector. Has anypone used one of these, and are they safe? Or do you have any other suggestions for connecting the grips?

Thanks in advance.

As per title, not fussed about colour or even if it has a little damage would be fine.
Please P.M me if you can help.

Thanks, chitsu.

History about the bike: Currently the 6th owner and despite the bullet proof nature and the sheer awesomeness of the Fzs600, its had a rough time over the years (99 reg) mainly due to negligent inconsiderate people cyclists/car drivers who think its all right to knock another mans pride and joy over and leave without even a note of apology...b*astards! pardon my french soo a little tlc was in order.

Me: White collar city boy in early 20's that moonlights as a blue collar grease monkey, been riding for 2 1/2 years, mechanical skills errm around Haynes manual 3 star level :b , trying to be modest here but have the privilege of having far more mechanically savvy friends at hand.


Prologue: What started of as a case of a simple case of minor panel repairs and service (major in actuality) and a custom paint-job has now turned out to be a fully fledged custom project with some modifications that to the best of my knowledge are unprecedented with the Fazer 600. Nothing in particular was planned and we 'did it as we went along' but the vision i had was to create a sportier looking front end with practical headlights without resorting to a foxeye nose cone and headlights to create a truly unique fazer and bring it in to the 21st century. Some may say why? why not just buy another bike!?, in the words of my 1199 panegale owner friend 'a fazer is a fazer, nothing else like it' and I'm sure most on here would agree.

So i Thought id share my experience with fellow foccer's who have been extremely helpful over the years and where better to document the project than right here on the Fazer's owners club unofficial forum. Any comments, questions or advice welcome and  appreciated

Before: extensive damage to body/ paintwork. Front wheel bearing, leaking downpipes, seized front brake calliper etc...

I haven't been using the Fazer as much as maybe I should and she's getting a bit neglected. Had the bike from new and it's never let me down for the first eight year or so London commuting etc. However it's now starting to play up. Two year ago a blocked pilot jet caused a misfire that took me ages to diagnose. Now there's a new issue.


It wont start on the starter. It's almost like the battery is flat, you press the starter and you hear the starter relay tick-tick-ticking, and the motor turns over a tiny bit but just not enough to start. Battery is charged and seems fine. I've also connected my car battery but no difference. The starter relay has been taken off, tested confirmed to be working. Electrics is not really my bag so I'm struggling to understand the haines wiring diagram, which seems to be wrong for my model! One strange thing that I think is not correct is that I've got 12v on both the red/white and blue/white starter relay wires. Because of my lack of skills I was thinking of having a stab in the dark and swapping the starting circuit cutoff relay and seeing if that fixes it. Any advice would be appriciated.

Hi guys anyone know what front wheels will fit a 2002 fazer 1000?
Heard the R1 and TDM 900 are the same but not all the years.
Anyone know what years will fit?
Cheers guys,
