Well finaly got my gen 1 back from the insurance company after they wrote it off.
Had a good probe around it and other than the obvious scratchs and slight cracks/scratchs on the fairing its looking pretty good.

The carbon front mudguard is smashed to buggery so now fitted the OE one back on.
front tyre was cut so new PR3 has gone on.

The bars seem to be slightly off angle, dropped it off to the local spanner today for its new MOT so i can get it back on road again. they lossened the bars and forks etc and retightend everything up, its now better but its still not perfect. we both think the renthal 758's have a very slight bend in them as everything else seems to check out

So gunna replace them (sadly this will meen new heated grips etc as well or just new grips and go for the DL650 handguards)

But finaly to the point i am thinking of trying a diff bar, the 758's are pretty good but i might try something a little more forward/lower. is the next step 658's? and are they called "flats"?
who has a good grip in mind? i dont want anything to thin but im not after the thick foam/sponge type either.

hi guys,this might have been brought up before(soz if it has) iv not long had my 98 fazer 600 and love it to bits,i love the dash and the fuel gauge but why no temp gauge?is there an easy way to know the engine temp or any upgrades to do this apart from getting a universal temp gauge ?
cheers

Guys & Girls,

As the group has a very good active section for photographers .. all sorts from Pro to Happy Snapper as well as the serious bods who are really into long range high speed action stuff.  I thought I'd let you know that I have my 'good as new' Complete Canon EOS 400D with extra 300mm Zoom Lens etc, up for grabs in the UK right now.  :b

Everything you need all in one box!  Might be worth a look-see if you fancy such things  8)

Guys


the spring in my Centre Stand went "pop" last night


Have removed the Centre Stand in the meantime but does anyone have a spare that they are willing to part with?

Hi all,


Was part of the old community (most of you probably wont remember) but had to take a little break from biking (bike damaged during Mot and off road plus shoulder injury being fixed)


Riding a Fazer FZS600 which is plenty fast for me!!!


hopefully will be around a bit more.

Hi, I have a 2003 FZS600 fazer. I'm looking for a TOPBOX and rack in the Sussex area. Can anyone help?

I am doing some work on the olg girl (Fazer) and I am replacing the clutch casing with a new one I got off ebay. I need to know where I can get the oil seal and top bearing where the clutch actuator rod goes through the casing, also need the lower bearing inside the clutch case. I have checked WEMOTO but know joy, are they only available from Yamaha?  I think there was a link that Devilsyam put up for a company that did bearings but I cannot find it.

Hi everyone!

I'm a 34 year old Male who lives up the the highlands of Scotland (well Moray to be percise)
I've recently sat my CBT and rather than riding a 125 I am going on to do my full test shortly.
I have looked about through bike trader etc.. And always keep returning to the pages with Fazers on.
I'd imagine they are a good place to start my journey into the world of bigger bikes.
Your thoughts??

Taking things easy

Hello everyone.
I have heard & read great things about FOC and am looking forward to joining the gang.
I have owned my '52 FZS600 foxeye for a couple of years, having passed my DAS three years ago.
I am a 49 year old guy from Cwmbran in South Wales and, after looking around at loads of other bikes, have decided to stick with the Fazer and lavish her with the love and attention she deserves.
Ride safely everyone.

I'm a great believer in supporting local businesses and don't usually mind if it's a little more expensive than buying online for the  personal touch and ease of nipping down the road instead of the hassle of emails, phone calls, missing delivery slots and return postage if something goes wrong. However, I'm looking at getting some hard luggage (Givi) and the price difference is  ridiculous. For the cost of the 46 litre box from the dealer, I can get a 55 litre + backrest online!!

So, should there come a point when the additional cost of a local shop becomes too great to keep your business or should we support local businesses at all costs?
