  Hello
Posted by: fz6.london - 21-07-12, 09:16 PM - Forum: Introduction - Replies (1)

Hi guys, I am Charlie from London. I am a proud owner of a Fazer and have throughly enjoyed it however very sadly I am parting company. It is in the classified section if anyone is interested. I may well buy myself a new FZ8 next year - who knows... They are fantastic bikes I think. I look forward to hearing from anyone if they are interested and would be happy to tell you more about it. I have done quite a bit to it as it has been a bit of a passion of mine for the last few years - you will see from the listing and the photos.


Thanks!

  Fz6 for sale - London
Posted by: fz6.london - 21-07-12, 09:12 PM - Forum: For Sale & Wanted - Replies (1)

I am selling my Yamaha FZ6 (S2) 2008 (08 plate). It has a full yamaha service history - also just been MOT'd 16/07/2012 and about to be re-taxed too.

£3,494

The bike has just under 10,300 miles on the clock - most of the miles I have done in the dry, other than the odd (more frequent now!) occasion I have been caught out in the rain.
The bike comes with both sets of keys and alarm fobs + master key, alarm override, manual and service book. It also has most of the receipts for any servicing and parts. Extras:

  • Full fairing - looks great and keeps the weather off
  • Top Sellerie custom seat - have the original too which can go with the bike
  • Scorpion exhaust with removable baffles which sounds amazing!! + original one in great condition having only been used for 4k miles
  • Centre & side stand
  • Back box bracket (genuine Yamaha)
  • Back box (46L) (colour coded silver + genuine Yamaha - think its made by Givi for Yamaha)
  • Inner case for back box (genuine Yamaha)
  • Alarm and immobiliser  (Yamaha specific - defcom-t & YISS)
  • Chrome 'FAZER' radiator cover
  • Chrome brake reservoir cover
  • FZ6 tank protector
  • Tinted rear light
  • Clear indicators all round
  • Could throw in chain and disc lock if this is your first bike... also there is a full oxford stormex cover which can be bought with the bike


It currently has a Starcom Digital Intercom system installed.  I would like to keep this but would consider offers on as it is nicely installed and ready to go. If you do not want it I can remove before sale.


Just had a major service in June.Tyres are good - font very new and rear half worn I would think.Chain and sprockets good order also.
The bike is in great condition - there are a few very minor bodywork scratches here and there from it being parked in London bike bays from time to time (see photos). Mechanically the bike is in great condition. The reason for sale is that I am wanting to change to a naked street bike which is better for what I use it for. This bike has been truly fantastic and has not missed a beat. The full fairing is great at keeping the worst of the weather and wind off - it handles very well whether it be on the motorway or on the twisty B-roads of Yorkshire.

Priced to sell.

If you are interested please contact me via eBay or phone - (07079) 023949. No time wasters please.

  good day for biking!
Posted by: caretaker - 21-07-12, 06:48 PM - Forum: General - Replies (2)

first proper thrash on the fazer 6 in the dry and loved every minute! lots of plod about though. the local mecca for bikes (llandovery) was heaving with power rangers posturing with their gleaming steeds, so i moved on up to the nearest burger van with a good number of proper bikers there. cracking day though.

  Gen 1 1000 Corbin Style seat for sale
Posted by: Tmation - 21-07-12, 04:24 PM - Forum: For Sale & Wanted - Replies (1)


I bought a second had seat and had it modified by Digger Seats in Wales. I asked for an extra 1" of seat height but he has added about 2".


It has been modified in the Corbin Style and has additional foam for comfort. The additional seat height makes it more comfortable on the knees as it opens then up a bit.


I am 31" inside leg and can just get my toes on the ground now and my dad (who I share the bike with), who has a 30" inside leg can't touch the ground with both feet.


It has only been on the bike to try it and for these photos, so it it as new.


You will need to have 32" inside leg or more for this to work.


It cost me £195 including second hand seat, new seat bracket and nut and all the modifications, I would like £150 if anyone is interested.


In North West Nr Liverpool Airport if you want to try before you buy.

  Fantastic Fazers
Posted by: blue_faz600 - 21-07-12, 01:33 AM - Forum: FZS600 Fazer - Replies (17)

Hi Guys

Just wanted to start this thread to share some or all of the things I love about the FZS600 Fazer! So feel free to share your thoughts or indeed any things that you find annoying about the bike and solutions to the issue!

This could be a great thread or a complete waste of time but here we go!

I bought my 01 box eye fazer with my head, not my heart. I have a history of GSXR's for previous bikes and I still love them! But I have grown to love my fazer as it does everything really well and is easy to live with! It's a work horse, and never complains no matter how hard I ride it or if I miss out on a wash for a few weeks! Most importantly, it never fails to put a smile on my face and sane speeds with truly useable power, something most sports bike riders will achieve in day to day road life!

It's not a perfect bike by any means, however it's quite close and it won't take much to make it so!
Last but not least, any newbies asking the question, should I buy a fazer for my first bike? My answer is, you'd be stupid if you don't!

  Well.........thats never happened before!!!!!!!!!!!!
Posted by: pilgrim - 21-07-12, 12:07 AM - Forum: General - Replies (17)

:eek :eek :eek :eek :eek :eek
Right.
Will have to relate this tale on here, cos if I tell the wife she will throw the biggest wobbler since the invention of wobblers!
Here goes.....
Decided to grab a quick shower before tea tonight. Suitably washed and scrubbed, I grabbed the towel off the back of the bathroom door and began to dry off, starting with the upper body and gradually working southwards so to speak.
Wrapped the towel around my waist for a moment as I stepped out of the shower, in order to continue the drying process in a more spacious environment, and when I removed the towel, well.........
Not quite sure how it managed to stay within the confines of the towel during the whole process, but there was this....
Spider. :eek
Now, I'm not generally squeamish about these kind of things, but...

Lets just say it had become intimately acquainted with yours truly without even kissing me first!!!!!!!!! :eek :eek :eek
Could have sworn it even tipped me a sly wink, in a feminine way of course Wink
Suffice to say I may have had a bit of a tizzy fit and done an excellent naked arm flap around the bathroom.
Now I know that may sound a bit of an over reaction, but for some reason I suddenly had this image of little venom dripping fangs far too close to where a chap really does'nt want that kind of thing going on.
So, with that image in my head, toilet 1, arachnid 0. Smile
One large glass of wine  and three cigs later, I managed to look back on the event and laugh, nervously, but for some reason its not an experience
I would like to repeat anytime soon.
Or ever.
And SWMBO has a mortal terror of the little eight legged critters, and will never, ever hear about this.
I hope :\
