Stupid question but is the paint code for the bike written on it anywhere?  Or does anyone know the code for a 2002 FZS600 in blue??

Hi there,


This is my first post here and I'm after some help.
My Fazer is getting a bit worse for ware now with 57,000 miles on the clock and also not being able to stay in 2nd gear ( bent dogbones or something ) and I'm after a second hand engine but I am unsure weather to stay with the original 600 lump or try and see if any others fit.


I would like to try and get a larger engine in there I.E 1000 FZS lump would this be possible?


I have heard that the YZF 600 Thundercat engine fits but that to me is just a rumour.


Just wondering if anyone has any knowledge of what I can do in this situation ?


The bike still runs fine but just can't get on with having no 2nd gear. Any help will be appreciated.


Cheers guys

I reckon someone has had a tamper i expected to find something snapped but rod was missing with everything else intact lucky for me it i was in second gear so managed to get the bike home wondered if any one knew of anywhere in london i could get one over the counter or are there any other rods that would match up like say a 600 rod if i have to go down the second hand route as i need the fazer its my workhorse , the one off my 08 r1 looks slightly longer but i reckon it will work but i dont wanna mess with it only to have to replace it if i dont have to.

Bought a house in Grantham today, I'm having to relocate because of work. I'm absolutely terrified, being out of my comfort zone, can anyone calm me down? Have I done the right thing?

Hi all
I've had an Ivans carb kit rattling around in my workshop cupboard for the lasr 3 years or so waiting for me to get the time/courage to fit myself. Can anyone put me in touch with the Ivans guru who used to fit the kits at peoples houses as I would rather he did the job properly if he is still doing so. Cheers :lol

Hi to all fellow Fazer lovers.
I've got a grey 53 plate gen1 1000 just coming up to 28000. I've had it from new Well ex demo 600m. Mods are pyramid rear hugger, R&G crash bungs jack up dog bones corbin seat with yamaha tuning fork seat cover bought from Devilsyam in Fowlers car park (remember me ?). Droppedforks 10mm, renntec rack. Rest standard. Its used for year round commuting except for salted roads fundays the odd rally (incl.2 dragon rallies) Watching Irish road racing and general hooning around.
I also have a ktm950 supermoto which is probably the most fun bike I've ever owned :evil :evil but two break downs in the space of 3 months mean our love affair maybe coming to a close :'( . Its a known fault with these bikes' fuel pump failure, fixed with an aftermarket facet fuel pump which should be a fit and forget fix  and a reg rec failure which apparently is a recurring problem every 15-20000 miles. I've done the reg rec and have yet to fit the pump so she may get a reprieve when the spring comes but I think she will have to go.

The money will go on giving the Fazer a makeover. Braded hoses new rear shock bearings etc. I've got an Ivans carb kit does anyone know if the guy who fits them at peoples houses still operates I can't remember his name but am sure someones out there knows his name. Anyway look forward to plenty of banter with you all TTFN

Against EU Member States Introducing Mandatory High Visibility Clothing For Motorcyclists


Responsible department: Department for Transport


We the undersigned urge the British Government to put pressure on the European Commission to discipline any member state that imposes clothing standards on motorcycle riders. We view any such requirement as an expression of prejudice against motorcyclists and a barrier to the free movement of people within the EU. With regard to the current proposals on mandatory high visibility clothing being considered by some member states, we consider this to be ill advised and naïve. We challenge the speculation that high visibility clothing will reduce accidents involving motorcyclists. We question the right of motorists to hold driving licenses if they are incapable of seeing a rider and motorcycle unless clad in high visibility clothing. We challenge the logic that imposes unreasonable requirements on the victims of accidents in order to accommodate the failings of those who cause them

A certain bike mag has contacted me (I think) via this site, asking if I'll do a write up on 'How my gazer has changed my life' lol

Just me?  :eek
