It seems that as per a lot of posts, I am another back in the Fazer fold, three years ago had a lovely FZS600SP 2000 in Gold / Black, then son number 1 turned 17 and the need for funding driving lessons, cheap car (wrote off in 4 x days), even cheaper 2nd car and insurance for him meant a reluctant sale of the Fazer, I was gutted to sell it, especially as virtually mint and was bought by a m/c courier in London! at least he paid the full asking.


Anyhows, Son no.1 slowly (very) becoming more financially independent so on a small budget picked another FZS600 this weekend, not quite as good as my last but a 98 plate in black (the fastest colour obviously) 16k miles, full service history and a very sweet engine, took out for 150mile bimble with a mate on a similar aged Thundercat today and  the bike rode faultlessly so can't complain.


Need to "jazz" it up a little and got a few small areas of rust - mainly top of forks that I will need to deal with, I would also be very interested to hear from anyone with a S/S radiator cover and / or black bagster tank cover that they may have up for grabs (for the FZS600 '98), could paypal or cash/collect if localish


Based in East Devon, not the most prolific of posters but always used the old site to good effect and will no doubt do the same on this site, so hello all and thanks in advance for any help I may ask for and receive

Could one of you gents tell me the hight of the standard bar risers,after trying and failing several times to get a screen that im happy with f*ckwit that I am ive just came to the conclusion that the previous owner may have fitter higher risers :o

No, not that type of member! Ieda gave birth to my offspring on Saturday, so we now have little Oliver. I won't call him a little foc-er unless he makes a fuss at 4am again. Otherwise he is chilled.

Let this be a warning to you all what a fazer can do!

As title really.  I have been growing a beard for 3 months, so i'd like a consensus for what 'tash to sport for the weekend.


Nothing will be discounted.  Fire away.

Hi chaps,


I've lost my key with the alarm/I mobilizer on and can not start the bike up without it. Does anyone know how I get round starting the bike up? Sorry I forgot to mention I do have a spare key also.

hi just got a fleabay bargin or maybe not will a front fender extender for a fz6 S2 fit a S1 bike  :'(

Hi folks,

After my mishap I'm in need of a replacement front fender.  I can see that sd1 is breaking his '98 but will this fit my '03?

A few pics of how the front of my bike's currently looking  :'(

fzs600 testing
haven`t been on here for a few days......busy testing jet sizes etc with a guy my mate knows whos well into carb tuning etc. between us we decided to go up one size on the main jets only as pilot jets seemed to give required response. end result is above. took it out and bugger me, it reeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeally flies now. wish it was mine :\ :lol :lol  next thing i will keep an eye on will be increase in mpg. well chuffed. oh the boss was so pleased she didnt hesitate filming the vid when i said i was going to upload same. hope you enjoy. one final footnote: the db killer is out because the boss likes to run it without and menace the locals. :rollin :rollin :rollin  makes no difference to performance in or out.............oooooooooooooooooooooeeeeerrrrrrrr missus

Been out for a ride today and on the way back I went to over take a van that was travelling really slow, 2nd gear, gave it some throttle and was passing said van when I hit a bump in the road and the front end came up, went to change in to third to bring it down and as I did it hit a false neutral, pulled the clutch in, clicked it up and it wouldn't engage properly! I managed somehow, to get passed the van and also manged to get a gear, but with a very nasty clattering/metallic noise coming from the 'box! As soon as I could, I pulled over. Now when its in neutral its clattering and when I pull the clutch in, the noise goes away. I can still get gears and drive to the rear wheel, but not with out nasty sounds coming from the box. Got a very nice man to ferry the bike home and will be taking it to the garage tomorrow.
The bikes done 32000 miles, its a gen 1 and it had plenty of oil in there.
Anyone got any clues?  Am I looking at serious expense, which will probably mean the end of my summers biking or could it be something less scary? I'll be doing the work myself, so any help/advice will be helpful.
Help! :'(
