  Open heart surgery
Posted by: Haugen - 14-06-12, 11:43 PM - Forum: Fazer 1000/FZ1 corner - Replies (2)

Oh woe...
About three or four weeks ago my FZ1S gen2 dropped about 100 milliliter of coolant when I arrived at work. I called my mechanic who told me to keep a close eye on the level of coolant in the expansion reservoir. I did and all though the level fell a bit it wasn't much but it seemed that the colour changed to slightly brownish. Since I was planning to go to the Netherlands this week so I thought I'd better have a look at it just to be sure. I dipped a q-tip in the coolant and it came up blue. I had a look at the back of the oil filler cap, no mayonaise.
I'm not all that well versed in things mechanical so I went to see my mechanic. He told me to go for a ride and then keep an eye on the bottom of the engine. Apparently there is a hole which will leak coolant in case the ceramic gasket (Right term?) in the water pump had ruptured. I looked and there was a drop of coolant right where it shouldn't be.
I talked to my mechanic the next day. The verdict was open heart surgery... He will have to change the ceramic gasket, a 5-hour job, and not cheap either.
Have anyone else had this? I haven't read of it anywhere.

  Exhaust Replacement - End Can ?
Posted by: Enceladus - 14-06-12, 08:13 PM - Forum: FZS600 Fazer - Replies (11)

i'm thinking of getting an endcan for my bike (2001 fzs600) as soon as i can afford to replace the oem downpipes with stainless ones.
really needs to be a bit quiet, especially at low revs (mainly for where i live and the times i need to leave for work).
any suggestions ?

Digital gear indicator,how easy/hard are these to fit.my soldering skills are a little suspect so a plug and play loom to connect looks an easier option.I'm guessing someone out there has fitted one,so will know the ins and outs of it. :biker

  Tyre sizes and profiles - Sorry to re-open this debate, Need advice!
Posted by: blue_faz600 - 14-06-12, 04:33 PM - Forum: FZS600 Fazer - Replies (13)

Hi Guys,


I have standard rim sizes on my bike (01 FZS600) being 17x3.00'' on front and 17x5.00" or rear. When i bought the bike it was wearing, and still is, 120/70-ZR17 BT-021 on the front and 160/60-ZR17 BT-021 on the rear. I have never enjoyed the way it steers, especially at lower speeds under 35-40MPH, as when the bike leans the handlebars want to come in and hit the tank. It takes a fair input of pressure on the bar to get the bike to hold a line around a corner. Has anyone else experienced this?


I have always suspected the front tyre was to blame for this, however i'm not sure. I need to purchase some new hoops for the old girl and have been wondering about other peoples experiences with the original tyre specs, being: 110/70-17 for the front, and 160/60-17 for the rear?


Any advice would be greatly appreciated, as i want to get rid of the tendency for the handlebar to slap the tank at low speeds.


Thanks in advance  Smile
