I'm curious as to what has happened to my first Fazer 600 that I bought New in December 2002 ?


I notice it hasn't had an mot since 2010 :eek


Anyone know what happened to it or its whereabouts ?

hi guys looking to change fork springs for a new set question is............. if you measure fork oil and air gap before you put the spring in how are you supposed to know if it is correct because you wont know.......... obviously air gap is 121mm and fork oil is 475ml but is the spring is going to displace more or less oil how do you get the correct amount apart from buying originals from say folwers or such???

Thinking of having a weeks spin around northern Spain and the Picos at the end of this month, any one got any experience of bike friendly hotels (secure parking etc), within walking distance of bars and food etc, in the area?


Cheers in advance

Quick question: does anyone know which is the best side to remove the engine from the frame?
I'm pretty sure I've asked this question before, but I can't remember the answer, so I apologise for forgetting. 

Hi new topic so as not to hijack the Bit coin thread, where the mention of nuisance phone calls is made. Brings to mind a cod call I received which went.
Cold caller
'' Hello sir I believe you have suffered from industrial hear damage.''
My reply
''Pardon could you speak up please''
I past away a bit of a slow evening continuing in this vain.

Just thought I'd ask anyone on here if they've tried Bitcoin Revolution,I read an item where Gordon Ramsey was raving about it and someone on a morning show had almost doubled there investment by the end of it !I read a bit more about it and actually started a procedure online being very careful not to pay any money and just see what happened before commiting to it,I got as far as giving my phone number which was one step before paying £250 to start this.About 2mins after I'd given my number this guy phones up saying he's my adviser andwent on about how great this investment was,the only thing that stopped me going ahead was the fact that all the places in the actual Bitcoin place were now taken but this firm or whatever it was he's working for was exactly the same and if I'd now deposit the £250 he'd start the ball rolling,I didn't particularly like the way this was turning into a hard sell,this guy was really trying hard to get my dough.I told him I'd have to think about it and he said "I'll call you back"not 5mins later he called back and was browbeating me for this money,I then told him I didn't like his attitude and the hard sell he was giving me,he then got abusive saying "what's the matter?do you need to get your wifes ok or something?I put the phone down on him but he's called back a few times but I haven't answered him because I don't really want to start telling him to fuck off and all that.Just wondered if anyone had had any joy with this because it seems to good to be true.

Just looking on ebay, there's a gen 1 for sale, seller says its  registered as ulez compliant with tfl, so looks like it can be done.  Item number 223625794181

Fazer FZS1000 - Silver (though pics show a blue tank bag)
2005 model
£999 ONO.



Bike has been MOTed today - effectively 13 months left.
Advisories:
- Will need a front tyre soon
- Suspension pin, bush or joint worn but not resulting in excessive movement
- Shock absorber has a slight misting of oil, nearside front
- chain worn, but not considered excessive


Mileage is 49k.
The engine is not the original, as you will see from the pics it is silver, it should be black.


It is in fair condition - rust in various places, paint flaking, fairing cracked in a few places, numerous scrapes to the fairing. It has been stored outside the last two years.
Heated grips don't work.


If you aren't put off by now, the good: I've used the bike for a good few years now and it has been - and still is - a reliable commuter workhorse. It always starts. I have all the paperwork. I will actually miss it a lot, but my biking days are about to draw to a close for reasons nothing to do with this bike.


The bike is located in St Albans, with prior agreement I can commute to London if someone wants to see it at my work.


If you are interested, probably easiest to get in touch with me via email: wilding.karl@gmail.com (I'm more likely to check email regularly than this forum)
I've tried to be honest about the condition, so please don't get in touch unless you are realistic about the bike.


Photos of the bike are here: https://www.dropbox.com/sh/9231pvjcv0doj...vU_ga?dl=0

              As my bike will be kept permanently! Question is, should I change my fork oil?  The bike is soon to be 15 years old but only done just over 10,000 miles, as far as I know it has never been done ( I am obviously not the first owner).  If I should change it what viscosity of oil do you think is best , or do I stick to what Yamaha recommends? 

Hi I’m after a 04/05 gen1 FZS1000 please
