Hello ladies and gents, Az here. Ive owned my '98 fazer 600 since 2004, so I thought it about time that I start using/posting on the site! My bike has been off the road for a long while, partly due to restoring it, plus university etc etc. Although I've just got the bike back on the road, I'm actually heading off to India on a motorcycle trip later this month and may have to sell the fazer...

Anyway, thats me. I've really been finding the fzs600 forum pages a lot of help, especially carb related stuff and also info on clutch slip, so thanks to all that offered up the info. Hopefully i'll get some pics and details of the restoration up soon.

Looks like my jacket is beginning to absorb more water than it repells, has anyone had any joy with this stuff:

or should I give in and get a new jacket?

So, after snapping a spark plug in half (while still in the head), I am very close to getting it back together. After a short delay with a gasket (see elsewhere) the head and cam shafts are back in and cover on. While the Fazer has been off the road I had a test ride on Triumph 1050 Sprint ST. I love my Fazer but the Triumph was a great bike.......I might just have to have two bikes. Just dont tell the family....

I've been asked to post this on behalf of a friend of a friend who's having problems logging on to the forum. [img alt=smiley: smile]http://static.yuku.com/domainskins/bypass/img/smileys/smile.gif[/img]

2002 Gen 1, blue and standard apart from a taller screen (make unknown).  5300 miles only and asking £2,900.

Described as in mint condition.  No photos available for me to put here, unfortunately.

If you'd like more details, contact Lauren on 07827 812358.

I've not seen the bike, don't know the seller other than by association with our mutual friend and can't provide any more information than what's here already.

Christ on a crutch,  I didn't know new photo uploads were put on the front page  :eek  Will have to upload a few more so my face isn't the first thing new visitors see  :lol 

I stupidly removed head gasket without checking which way it goes back on. I have of course got replacement but noticed it is not quite symetrical.
If you lay gasket down as if looking forward on the bike there is a little tab just off front close to centre. Looks like it is for another engine model as well (thundercat maybe). But when looking forward should it be to the left or the right? Help!

Also need fixing kit as well

Cheers
