Is there any Foccers out there that has changed their OEM Brake/Clutch lever on their FZS 600 to a short lever style? If so... any guidance on where to locate some nice billet ones and what they feel like would be most appreciated!!  :lol

Ta very muchio

Hi all,

Bought my 2000 Fazer 600 over two years ago after passing my test.I really enjoy riding the bike but there are two areas I would like to improve.

1-Seat, get numb bum after 30 miles or so.

Have seen a ad in Ebay offering replacement seat with new foam and cover with red piping and logos for 108 all in and leaving me my orignal seat to sell myself.

2-Handle bars, Get quite stiff riding bike and would like bars to be a wee bit lower.

Would like advise from users, to the best way to fix these two problems.

Thanks to all who reply.

Hi all from a very cold Inverness,

Prior to taking my bike off for the winter I set about cleaning my brakes.Front both fine but the rear had a stuck piston.

Last week left the caliper with a mechanic friend to blow piston out with compressed air.The bad news is the piston is seized solid and will not move.

So do I have any other options apart from a second hand caliper.

Any other Fazer Taurens to celebrate their  Birthday on this day ?

This topic has been moved to [FZS600]. as it is a carb model

Afternoon

Seems my forks are at Revs Racing at the mo I'm using the time to clean up the whole front end of the bike.

Droped the rad off earlier (about 60% of coolant ended up on the floor) and noticed the paint is flaking and bubbling. Was thinking of rubbing it down (emery cloth?) and re spraying it. What paint would i use though and were do i get it from? (need it a.s.a.p)

Also the front of the rad is full of insects and general s**t, whats the best what to clean it up without damaging the anything?



Also the down pipe nuts/studs and especially the collars are looking very rusty. I have some brand new nuts that i will use and i will clean up the studs, autosol the top of the down pipes but is there anything i can do to the collars? hammerite paint or like the rad will it need to be heat resistant?



Also got tiny bits of rust on the frame and brace bars that i will clean up and touch up with some paint. Also going to put small blobs of grease on all other nuts/bolts/hose clips and so on as the front of the bike does get very dirty/wet and is hard to clean when the forks and rad are back on. (bikes used all year round)

cheers

Hi guys thinkin about replacing carbs in future any idea. On how long it would take to remote. And replace with another set me carbs. Pls

many thanks guys

Hi fellow Fazers,

My Gen 1 needed a battery recharge after not being ridden for only a week. It did recharge OK but it took a over 24 hours to do so. With the battery on the bike I checked the voltage. When revved to 5k the voltage reads 13.9 volts, but at tickover it drops to 11.8 or 11.9 volts. Does this point to the battery or the charging system being duff?

Many thanks, Paul
