Yamaha fzs 600 fazer


As above Yamaha Foxeye Fazer for sale. Bike based in Southern Ireland. PM for any more info or pics. Thanks ?

[color=rgb(51, 51, 51)]I bought this as a bigger, comfier version of the Fazer 600 I’d had previously but as you all know it's much more of a hooligan than the lazy old sofa I’d expected. There’s no reason you couldn’t potter about on it or go touring but it invites you (or me at least) to misbehave most of the time. A lovely bike but having ridden fewer than 2.5k miles over the last 3yrs it’s time for it to go. It’s got all the usual tweaks – fully Ivanized, 4degree ignition advance, Nitron rear shock, braided hoses, Scorpion exhaust, MRA adjustable screen. It’s been garaged during my ownership. It has the original toolkit and a new Motobatt battery and the Michelin Pilot Road 4 tyres have about 1,500 miles on them. Givi Monokey top-plate and pannier carriers and as-new V46 Top Box (not pictured) included. The digital gear indicator used to work and probably would again it someone could locate the other DIN plug it’s dangling cable is intended to mate with. Having become disconnected I assume it’s somewhere under the tank but I haven’t been able to ferret it out. The only other bad point I can think of is the sticky residue from the inch-high black tape that was presumably stopping jacket zips from scratching the tank where it meets the seat. I shouldn’t have tried to take it off but I’ll leave the next owner to either clean it up or cover it with a tank protector. Bought from this forum in 2005 as was my much-missed FZS600. Bike is in Swansea.[/color]

First Wednesday for a considerable time that I have not picked up a copy of Motorcycle News. Ive found less and less of interest to me inside the pages, it seems to be preoccupied with high end, expensive, technologically advanced machines that most riders dont want (cos you hardly ever see them on the roads) or simply cant afford. I reckon it provides little entertainment or information for the majority of riders, so it looks like the parting of the ways. Anybody else any views on it?

Looking at getting some new discs, what's everyone's preference these days?

Looking for a black or red cover for the fuel tank for 2001 FZS 1000

Fitted new chain & sprockets this morning


bought a530 pitch 110 link Ognibene Gold Chain


and Ognibene sprockets std 15 teeth front and 48 rear.


the rivet pin was a little different than a DID one but i thought I had fitted it ok.


Went out for a test ride and after 20mins thought all was well.
On way home at 50mph bang the rivet link let go...... Should have gone to garage and had it checked....


So pushed bike home 1/2 mile..... very hot today I was drenched when I got home..


the rivet link grabed hold of the top bolt which holds the bearing cover plate (sits behind the front sprocket) and mangled it up it's item 36 on the ajsutton website


see [size=78%]https://www.ajsutton.co.uk/genuineparts/...case?uID=0[/size]


It is only tightened up to 10Nm so not holding anything other than the cover plate.


But the casting has been ripped out you can see half the threads with a chunk missing from the left side.


So I am a little unhappy with myself for not doing a propper job.


So need to work out how to fix it and hope I havn't trashed the gearbox or any other internals.


I will try and get a photo loaded at the weekend after I remove the front sprocket...

Howdy all you filthy foccers, I was wondering what your opinions on Raximo short levers are, I'm looking to swap mine out but am wary of the cheaper Chinese ones on fleabag, these are what I'm looking at?

So  when the exup kicks in, I presume around 7k rpm  is it noticeable like a powerband  or should it just be a smooth affair.


How does it feel?  can you feel the force

Greetings everyone in Fazerland, its been a number of years since the last time I was on here, life in general taking over etc! So to my problem, recently got the old girl out of mothballs, having not ridden her for over a year :eek , gave her a wash and took for an MoT, when i got to the testing station i discovered my clocks had stopped working! The rev counter isn't working at all, the speedo didn't work when riding it, the clock and odometer aren't working either. In fact, the only thing working on there is the fuel gauge! So, my question is, anyone any ideas as to what could be the problem?
As a matter of interest, I have had the clocks apart and there are no corroded or burnt connections on the PCB, the plug into the back is clean and there does seem to be power going to the clocks, so I'm a little stumped, supposed to be going up to the Lakes this weekend coming and don't fancy guessing my speed!  :lol  Thanks in advance
