Hi all,
Does anyone know the name of the dealer or any dealer/trader in Leicestershire/Nottinghamshire that collects and sells a bike for a fee?  I've lost the contact details for the one I had and can't for the life of me remember their name.

Hi everyone,


New to the forum.


Pick up a FZS600 on Tuesday after passing my test a few weeks ago. I can't wait to get my backside on it.


It was a bit of a gamble getting it, as it was a Fleabay job that a motorcycle garage was selling but they'll stick 12 months MOT on it on pick up. Will be giving it a thorough going over once getting it home. Oil/Filter, Air Filter, Coolant, Spark Plugs and Fuel Filter.


Can't wait to get out on it properly after being on 125s for 20 years 

Hi guys,
Is the clutch seizing a thing?
My old kawasaki used to get a bit sticky when left unused for a while will that happen to a fazer too?
TIA

Hey folks, I recently got a fzs600 and was perusing the forum when I came across this post https://foc-u.co.uk/index.php/topic,13218.0.html from 10 years ago. Was just wondering if anyone knew if you could still buy them, how much they are and where to get them from?

Cheers

So, this spring my Fazer started working on three cylinders only. The leftmost one gave up the ghost - even though it's parked on centre stand.


What I've done so far:


- Checked to see if the plugs are throwing sparks. They are. Replaced with the new ones just in case.
- Cleaned the carbs.
- Checked the compression - the problematic cylinder has lower compression compared to the other ones.


Carb. intake rubbers are leaking - at least the leftomst one definitely is.


What I haven't done:


- Checked the carburator membranes.
- Checked the valves.


To make the matters more interesting, local mechanics aren't interested in the job.
I get told to bring it in during the winter, and to expect at least a $1,000 bill for the repairs.


So, I am seriously considering to give it a try myself, and see where it takes me.
Sure, this season of riding seems toast already, regardless of what I do, but with a bit of luck, I might live to see the next spring.  LOL


I can source parts from Serbian Yamaha dealer (uber-expensive and months waiting, but it's not impossible).
I can also source stuff from German Amazon, and perhaps from some German online stores (not all of them will take Serbian Visa debit card payments with a German delivery address).


Any tips or advice are welcome.
The advice from the last mechanic I talked to was to sell the bike and get a newer model.

Hi all, as in the subject, does anyone know if a blue spot rear brake caliper would fit my 03 FZS 600? Happy for some minor adjustment / filing the bracket, but would it need much more? Heard the FZS1000 rear fits with the slight adjustment mentioned above.. Cheers

Hello gents looking at getting this R6  shock he says it came off a boxeye , does it look like the right mod or impossible to tell?

Morning all - As you are probably aware the software this site currently uses is old and not great. Over the last few weeks we have been testing some new forum software. Now it is time for some of you lucky lot to help us with the testing. You dont need a lot of time, just a few minutes here and there over the next couple of weeks to go to the new site and have a play to see if you can use it as expected, see if there are any issues and see if there any improvements you would like to see.


If you can help, put a message on this thread and we will PM you with more details like the web address etc.

Hi, quick question. Need to jack up my fazer to replace the fork seals. Can I jack it up on the manifold? I'm a bit dubious about it, but I've read that people have done this with no problems
