It's been 9 days now since the hose split on the Fazer, originally told replacement would be in by end of last week but have now been told it's on back order with Yamaha UK and will hopefully be in middle of this week.  Bloody hope so because I'm getting rather pissed off now!!!!!
Could use the Kawasaki Versys 650 I also own, but I've laid it up for winter to keep it away from all the crap they keep spreading on the roads and don't want to use it for comute to work.  That's why I brought the Fazer!
Looks like I'm using the car again for another week, leaving early, sitting in queues, can't wait!  Going seriously cold turkey being away from 2 wheels!  :wall Arrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Hi all wanted FZS600  LINK PIPE FOR EXHAUST

got a new end can and the link pipe is wrong :rolleyes

Hi Foccers... I need help please. Farjo suggested I post this in the Fazer 1000 corner.  I want to lower and move forward the rider's footpegs and controls but am having difficulty finding suitable parts. Rearsets to move pegs back and down are no problem (e.g. Rizoma), but that's not going to resolve my knee aggro (from too many years of squash). If anyone has done such a mod, I'd be very grateful to hear about it. M&P Direct do lower footrest kits but when I phoned Friday last to enquire about the brake and gear controls to go with a moved peg(s) the chap said "that's up to you, we don't offer anthing on that."  Ideally I'd move the pegs about 50mm forwards and 25mm down. That would require modifying both the controls. Any ideas very welcome.

How's the ovaltine?

Better send me this stuff for BMF (Bacon Mozeralla Fetta)?
Bike off at the end of the month for looking at, servicing and MOT.

Hello Foccers Im back after brief spell away from the site. I see it has moved again.  Much changed on here?

Are these any good?
My fazer is my toy and I'll use it as much as I can so a lot of it is around town so I don't always get heat in the tyres and the ones I've got now slip n spin quite a bit until they a warm then they stick like shit to a blanket but I  don't normally ride long enough.

So I need grip from the start and need to handle the corners well

Can anyone recommend anything to suit my needs????

Headlamp replacement on 2004 FZ6 - ignore Mr Haynes  :b


The headlamp bulb blew when I started the bike up at work last night so had to ride home 14 miles with full beam on - sorry cage drivers!


Debated getting standard replacement bulbs from the stealers but decided to pop in to Halfords when I was out anyway - picked up one of these to give it a go.
Being a mechanical dunce I looked at the Haynes manual and it said to take the fairing cowling off. Fk that I thought and got the fat fingers in there - it was a bit fiddly but the plug came off ok, bulb clip was fine to get off and bulb came out no bother - fitting the new one was just a bit fiddly but only took 5 mins - job done without taking the fairing off. The bulb looks pretty good tbh - with full beam on it's about the same light coming out of both sides - will see what it's like in the dark next week when I'm back at work.


So don't always trust the manual!

Since changing my downpipes from OE to sandy spares i've noticed a drop in MPG from 48 to 42? i'm running it with a K&N and a GPR racing can also.

Or could it be due to the extremely cold weather we've had recently?

Hi , hope someone can help
My fzs is due for a coolant change , is there a certain type of coolant I should use. I have had a look on the halfords website where they recommend Halfords advance anti-freeze 5litre for £24.99 for the fazer.  My partner rides a cbr600fx (98 registered) could I use the same coolant on both bikes does anybody know?
Many Thanks
