On Saturday, just when I was feeling life is a bit of a bastid and wondering if perhaps it would be best if I sold my bike I looked out at the lovely winters day and decided to go out for a ride. What a good decision, I went over to visit my 89 year old mum, about 70 miles each way, and put a smile on both our faces. It was such a blast even the cold didn't matter. Think the bike's mine for a bit longer.

Has anyone else had problems with the securing pins breaking on a garmin zumo mount. Twice in the last 6 months I've had one of the pins that go into the back of the unit body snap. Both times it happened while the unit was mounted in the cradle, one left pin and one right so not even the same pin each time. When I emailed Garmin and told them this was turning into an expensive exercise they sent me another mount free as a goodwill gesture which makes me wonder if this is a common problem. I'm reluctant to mount the unit until I've sorted out what's going wrong, the mounts are too dear to just keep buying new ones. An alternative might be to buy a non functioning Zumo and swap the back but I don't know if that's feasible.
Any ideas???

hi wot mods or tuning parts can you get for a 02 reg fzs fazer 600 and wheres the best places to look ... been on ebay but its mostley just replacement parts not toys

I am a 50 year old xracer and ended with FZS1000. I like the modifications on this bike. You have a nice forum and monitored frequently. It's nice to share experiences.

the speado on my 1999 600 was dancing around usualy only lasts about 10 mins put now is has prity much stop registering at all it come and goes ainy thoughts or is it time for new clocks


the rev counter and fuel gauge works fine

is there an EASY alternative rear caliper to fit on this bike? As you'll know the standard one needs careful maintenance to stop it sticking, well it does if used all year round anyway. What have people fitted? Ta in advance.

Edit. I notice 2 threads referring to the Fazer thou caliper, do all of them fit as there are 2 different syles, the Front caliper lookalike and a smaller one from a later bike. Ta again

Who where andhow much to get some fairing lowers for mi 1000?

Right this is a bargain £40 quid, its still in the box brand spanking new.  Had an FZ1s with an R&G tail tidy on it and it started to corode so R&G sent me a new one but I sold the bike in between waiting on it coming and stuck the original monstrosity back on the bike.  This tail tidy transforms the bike, it's on fleabay the now heres the linky
