Hi everybody. 
I’m new to this site and new to Fazer ownership. I’ve looked at all the threads on this subject and just wanted to check my summary is correct:

I’ve measured my nut  (     ) and believe it’s 9mm so I should get a new one…? 

The washer tabs should be bent over (I don’t think they are now)?

The shaft thread diameter should measure 17.76 but can get away with 17.5mm?

The consensus seems to be to use locktite 270…? This needs to be heated to remove??

The torque for the new nut is 90nm?

Any suggestions for who currently does the cheapest good quality nut? £12.99 on eBay with the washer…

Ta.

Hi. 
Another newbie question:
I’ve bought a tidy 2003 fzs. The only issue with the appearance is the paint has flaked off the aluminium ends of the radiator. (Not the grills or end covers) 

Any recommendations for the best paint that’ll stick to the aluminium and withstand the heat?

Thanks. 

Morning,hope everyone is well,I got my 2000 yamaha fazer 600 very wet whilst out and the day after whilst riding I noticed the revs dropping from 5000 to 0 then back up to 5000,i replaced a dodgy double headlight conversion wiring with a proper plug thinking thatveas the cause but no luck,I did the unplug and plug in tps technique and it went to 10000 and will not adjust down to the usual 5000,the bike is fine on tickover and runs normal with no surging or flat spots,with the ignition on and the tps unplugged the revs jump 0 to 3000 then 0 and 3000 repeating  ,I bought a new tps and it had the bike still had same symptoms ,I bench  tested the new tps with a meter ,no reading between the outside two pins but either one of the outside and the center pin I got a reading of 5.9 but this didn't alter when I turned the tps as if it was the throttle twisting ,my old tps had no readings at all,basically was the new tps dodgy or am I looking at another problem that isn't tps related?,apologies for the long thread 
Cheers coeurdelion

Was looking at Getting Crash bars for a FZS600 2000 model. Any recommendations for where to source some decent ones. Was gonna put sliders on but apparently they aren't even nearly as good for protection. Has any used the German company , Heed I think it is. They do bars for just over 100 euro but theres no decent photos of them  
TIA.

How do you change your profile?

Mine still has a quote from 2005 and is a bit out of date now ?‍♂️

Hi ,new member here,I have been living full time in france for over 20 years now but originally came from Leeds in  Yorkshire, I renovate property for a living but retired early a few years ago,bike wise at the moment I have a 2000 yamaha fazer 600,a 1976 suzuki kettle that I've completely renovated, a 1994 yamaha sr250 self build cafe racer and a 1976 yamaha RD 430 dragbike,I spent most weekends when I lived in the uk at Avon park raceway or Santa's pod as crew chief for Team Paranoia Jaguar powered dragster and attended a few bulldog bash meetings before moving to France in 2004.
Cheers and look forward to picking your brains to help solve the dreaded code 3000 problem!!!

Afternoon chaps.
I've got a 2000 FZS600 and the 3rd cylinder simply refuses to fire.
What I've done so far is fresh spark plugs, some used but working OEM coils with caps, I've had the carbs off and cleaned all the jets (3rd carb was actually blocked so I thought I'd solved the problem but nope) a compression test (with throttle fully open) and all 4 cylinders are within a couple of PSI to each other at around 175 which from my research is perfectly healthy. 
I've cleaned all the connections that I know of and have located from the battery all the way to the plug caps.
I've tried petrol down the cylinder just to see if it would fire at all.
I've tested the spark on cylinder 3 coil/plug and it's not the biggest and strongest spark I've ever seen but in my opinion it's strong enough to at least ignite the cylinder especially with a drop of fresh fuel.
The carbs are definitely getting fuel as is the cylinder because the carb bowls were all full after the rebuild and test.
I really can't think of anything else. 
I don't really have the spare cash at the moment to put it into a garage but I'm also wanting to try and fix it myself to learn as I go.
The only thing I haven't changed is the battery and it is a bit on the dodgy side having been run dead previously but after a good charge it fires all the other cylinders within a second or two of pressing the button.
Is it possible that could be the culprit and it's only effecting a single coil wire/plug cap?
I'm really wanting to get back on the road as a friends just got back into biking as well as my Mrs wanting to go out for rides as pillion.
Any suggestions would be very appreciated.

Does anyone have a coloured wiring diagram for the fz6SA 2004-7 round dashboard

Thanks

So I bought this for my FZ1 off amazon and got a refund, as it clearly dosen't fit, as its 2" too narrow. Here is the amazon link for it, so other FZ1 owners can be aware and avoid - https://www.amazon.co.uk/dp/B0CXPCLGXS?psc=1. Apart from the size its looks indentical to the OEM one for my FZ1, so my question is what bike does it fit, so I can punt it on.
The product page said it was for an FZ8 and FZ1, but arent they basically the same bike, in the running gear dept?
