Eyup, thought I’d pick the collective FOC-U brain about tips for Fazer thou weight saving !
I’ve been thinking of how I might shed a few pounds from mi ’05 Fazer, I’d have thought the bulk of the weight is in the engine and frame, and that there’s not a vast amount that could be done there to reduce weight - or is there ?
Looking round the bike, there are a few obvious things (remove rear footrests (if you don’t do pillion !), remove the metal frame covers around the swing-arm pivot area, etc) but I can’t think of much else that will really save much weight, maybe three or four kilos ?
A lightweight battery (at a price !) should save a further three kilos, and the only other major thing I’ve thought of is lightweight wheels, although again very pricey for something that will save significant weight !
Any other thoughts about how weight can be saved ?
I suppose this post is a bit of winter fun really, and I fully expect the usual “cut down on the pies – the bike is the least of your worries” type replies, but thought it would be good to share any Fazer weight saving tips !
Cheers,
Fletch

To start my FZS600 1999 I basically sit there for probably 30 seconds pressing the ignition, until it finally kicks in. I've replaced the battery and the starter motor but its still the same, any thoughts? thanks
