My gen 1 1000 has a foc-ed barrel
been trying to source a new one but hitting a blank wall without going OE and mega bucks.
but while searching part numbers ....
the gen 1 is    5LV825011000
the fzs 600 is 5RT825011000 now busters do a pattern barrel for the 600 for £33.49 http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/280835242972?_...97.c0.m619

it looks very sim in the diagrams i have been able to find but i cant be sure. anyone know if they are the same?
would save me about £40 getting that rather than a 2nd hand lock set from a breakers

I have a 2001 model fazer,on doing some searching givi do not list a wing rack for the thou,is there any weakness in the subframe or is it that givi either did not bother or it is no longer available?

Hi all first post with new username, I was a member on the old yuku board when I had a fzs600 but forgot my login.

Anyway to cut a long story short, I've an '03 thou now, I was halfway through fitting my bikevis led's when the old boy turned up for a natter, I managed to short the sidelight wires together that I had spliced into because I got distracted, smoke appeared from somewhere (i thought it cooked the smidsy light modulator that ran the leds as that stopped working when I tested it off the bike)

Now the bike starts and runs fine but when I indicate or put the hazards on it flashes the sidelights and the indicators and instrument lights are very dim, also the lcd clock in the dash turns on and off.

The side lights and dip/main beam work perfectly, I tried changing the flasher relay as I had a spare but its not that.

[size=1em]I'm no electrician but not inept either, I just hope I haven't broken my new bike, I've only had it a day [/size] :'(

Can anybody offer any advice?

Thanks in advance

Looking to replace either my Gen 2 or FZ6 (just for a change) but struggling to think of what to get as I have done most bikes.
I have wanted to buy a Triumph for years but have never bothered as my local dealer is sh*te, but have thought why let that put me off. Been thinking about getting the road version of the Triumph Tiger 800.
Never had an "adventure" style bike so don't know wht to expect. Anyone any experience with them? What they like (positive/negative comments appreciated)

:thumbup :thumbup :thumbup  Can anyone else confirm their experiences are similar to mine, when parking a Fazer close to anyone who has the slightist interest in bikes. It's great, pop it on the stand and they appear, the friendly Fazer fan club. Comments such as, "great bikes fazers"," I had one of those", "I want one of those", "good bikes my mate has/had one" etc... etc... all ice breakers that either start a lenghtly chat or a bit of banter. It's quite amusing when I'm out riding with my mates, especially as one has an immaculate Fireblade which is bit older and the other a R1, neither have the Fazer appeal.

Hi Guys,


I have been toying with the idea of a Dyno Jet kit for some time now, as my headers need to be replaced and so do my inlet rubbers. So my train of thought is this. Get new full exhaust and whilst changing inlet rubbers, give carbs an overhaul. Hence, the Dyno Jet.


Has anyone had any experience or bad experiences with installing a Dyno Jet kit on a FZS 600 '01' model?

The winter has taken its toll on my 2002 FZS 1000, the clutch housing has allot of blistered paint and some has come off. I have ordered some paint, primer and Lacquer from RS and I was wondering is it possible to spray it while on the bike or should I take it off? Also does anyone know a good sprayer in the West Midlands that could spray it over if I provide the paint?

I was going to type them all out but couldn't be foc'd...
