Had to fit a new set of EBC HH pads. Mechanic found one side of front was all most down to the limit,  but other side seemed ok ??Easy fit and did not take long. Been out and gently been using the brakes. The pads seem to be binding on the discs  and when you push the bike about my drive I can feel the resistance. Is this normal? Will it settle in with use, or have I fitted them wrong?

I bought my fazer in 2005 brand new and within 2000 miles had the full monty fitted by Mike. I have fitted r6 shock, 2008 R1 front end and lot's of other accessories over the years. The bike has been amazing.... But times are changing and modern bikes are now, very advanced. I used to ride my Fazer and think it was top level handling and motor. It still is in many respects, but for a hooligan ride out at the weekend it's not doing it for me as much as my other bike, so now it has a new role... I am actually doing more miles on it because of this! It now is my all round travel bike/ winter bike. I have taken it to orkney isles, western isles and everywhere in between and it has been faultless apart from the alarm :\  I still love it. Never to be sold.

'Ello all,


My friend's band is playing at a charity bike night at The Knoxbridge, Frittenden, Kent on Thursday 13th September.  It kicks off at 7.00pm


Anyone about?  Can either meet there for a cuppa and a natter or we can have a fun bimble down there from North Kent.  Or arrange your own bimbles from your own areas.  Would be good to see some foccers :-)

Any of you use a multi-guage?
Mine has less wires than the OEM dashboard has....notably there is nothing to connect the wire from the fan to that used to connect to the dash PCB.
My fan will not work now. I've checked he fan & relay & they're fine.
Connecting that wire straight to live clicks the relay but doesn't start the fan.


Any experience to share?

Hi all, just wondering if I can swap to a new LH switch gear on my '99 Fazer so it has hazard lights?
Is the wiring/plugs the same between the two switches? Would I need to add any extras such as a different flasher relay etc?
Looking at photos between the two I can see that one of the plugs is a different colour but I'm unsure if they are interchangeable between years.
Anyone else done this?
Thanks in advance.

Don't use the bike much these days, but went to start her up other day, pressed the start button........nothing. then all of a sudden she span over and started.
Wondering if this was a fluke, did it again, and again, and again.
There is a good 5s delay when you press the start button. I can hear the relay energise straight away, but doesn't send any power to the starter for a bit.
So what do we reckon then?

Just fitted new chain and sprockets , just checking chain tension , got it too 30mm movement is that about right , bandit before Fazer was 25 to 30 mm , not got a manual yet ,thanks .

Hello folks, first post here so please be gentle. I have a pristine 2000 600 fazer which I have brought with me to Spain. I was hoping to take advantage of the great weather and fantastic roads by matriculating (swapping over to Spanish plates) the bike but I’m struggling. As it’s a 2000 reg there is no European Certificate-of Compliance, thus an additional engineeres inspection is required. Aside from the expense that shouldn’t be an issue. The problem however will be changing the headlights over to EU side. So, does anyone know of a European supplier, new or used of older fazer parts.

Hi everybody,


I am delighted to join the Fazer team I have purchased a FZS 600 99 she has been semi converted to Cafe Racer however I will be working on her over the winter to mould to how I would ideally like. I am brand new to the riding scene and have to say so far the help and information I have received from various people has been fantastic and a steep learning curve to expand my limited motorcycle knowledge.

So my first issue would anybody have or know a link for a colour version of the 99 Fazer wiring diagram I do have a copy of the black and white version just struggling to find a colour thank you all.

Hey boys and girls


Wondering if any of you could help me once again.


Recently when I've been riding the bike there will come a moment where I go to throw on the throttle and give it some when all of a sudden I move no where and the engine just starts revving it's tits off, I can't really describe it other then it's like pulling the clutch in and revving it expect for when it happens my hand isn't even engaging my clutch or anything.


It doesn't happen all the time, just occasionally but it's definitely something I want to sort out.


My guess would be the clutch is slipping and my other guess would be that it's because of my clutch plates, however I am no expert and so I thought I'd come on here to ask for some opinions before I spend lord knows how much on new clutch plates only for it not to solve anything.


Many thanks in advance
