right so i have seen alot of fazers with really glossy nice showroom looking engines, the question is how to you get them like that, shoe polish wax etc.
i can get mine looking good but some look like they have just been painted.
im really hoping these fazers arnt owned by sunday rider but are owned by commuters


so if anyone knows how or any other cleaning tips (getting brake calipers to a newish black not a greyish black)


thanks

Hi all,

I'm an all round newbie. 11 years ago I used to have an old cb125 for a couple of years but the big end decided to die. Life started to get all serious then and I never got round to fixing the 125 or taking my bike test. But I've finally decided the itch to get back on 2 wheels was to big to ignore, and I took the test in feb this year (valentines day in fact, much to my wife's delight!). Naturally the next day I treated myself to the fzs600 I'd been pining over!

I love my Fazer, I use it to commute, and to have a blast at the weekend so it gets some miles, and I soon decided that lifesavers at the thicker end of the speedo tend to snap your neck off. So I made an extra screen out of some acrylic and bolted it on. It might not look great, but hey, function over fashion for motorway miles...and my neck likes it!

Thanks btw...over the last month I've trawled the site and stolen loads of info to sort out the bike (my favourite being the headlight mod...twas great!)

Anyways, a few pics...

Greg.

1x black rear hugger removed from my 98 600 fazer. Hairline cracks down the center of it but not noticeable when fitted. Hugger must collected, postal service not offered. (Wigan)

Hi all,

One of the bleed nipples broke off my rear calliper. I want to sort it out but want to get a second calliper first incase it goes all wrong. The only problem is I can't find one any where. The bike is a 53 plate fzs. Anyone know if the rear caliper is a blue spot as standard? And is there any other bike models with same caliper so I can widen my search?

Thanks for any help or info you can provide.

Peter

i have spent part of today trying to remove my downpipes,the bike has done 70k and there was not much in the way of nuts left,the only reconisable nut was on the left side downpipe,and the only downpipe that is not rotted to hell.the inner nut was very corroded though.the problem im having is the downpipes are well and truely stuck in the head (well 3 of them are) the rust has swelled then in there.








here is the remains of the top mounts,most has nearly corroded away

Chance of a couple of weekend tickets for BSB at brands hatch, the 4 day ticket sells for £31 online, friend of mine got them as a pressy but cant go now , was wondering if anyone would be interested, will get a price from him tomorrow, hopefully a wee bargain for someone.......posted just to see what kind of response there would be and of course it would be first to reply to the price when I get it, gets the tickets....

Anyone know the minimum dimensions of a 2 storey 2 bedroom detatched property. 
By this i mean the footprint. In metre please.

I have an '03 600, parked next to a field where i was playing football with some mates last night.
The key must have fallen out of my pocket at some point, lost the light as we played till sun set. Tried with a torch but no luck.


I dont want to break the steering lock with force or drill/screw driver the locks if i can help it.


I need to move it, i dont think its safe where it is. I'm thinking of pushing it as far as i can, then turning it on the centre stand and pushing it as far as i can again. At least till i can chain it to something solid and its under a street light somewhere.


Does anyone think i could drag it backwards with the front locked up? or even lift the front end and roll it on the rear? With help obviously.


Going back up tonight to have a proper look, going to systematically grid search rather than random walking round.


Currently tearing the house apart for the spare!


Note to mods: This obviously cant stay on here, too useful to thieves! i will "report to moderator" when i have the bike back and it can be deleted.
