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.
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.
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.

Ok it's new bike time so the trusty fazer has to go I've had the bike for about four year's now and she's been brilliant I've had a nitro shock and k-tec springs done and also the full Monty by Mike so she's a well sorted fazer. Haven't had a price from the dealer yet so I thought I'd put it on here first but if no takers by the time I'm ready to do the deal for a s1000xr it will go to the dealer £1700 ovno offer I think that's fare.wont be ready to let her go for about a week as I'm still using her
Hello, can anyone please advise if this plug colour is acceptable on my 600 Fazer, it's an NGK Ridium CR8EIX. The other plugs are similar, possibly a touch more grey on the arm. The engine was up to temperature and left ticking over for a minute before plugs were removed. I checked these as I had the carbs off to free off the seized tick over adjuster screw, ahead of balancing the carbs. I found 3 of 4 mixture screws seized and have been unable to free them after leaving them overnight in diesel and heating. The mixture screw that is free was set 1 turn out from fully in, which should be 2 turns (I think for a 99) obviously I'm unable to check the others but using a vernier they measure the same height as each other from the carb casting. The jetting is standard and the bike starts (even without choke) and runs fine but runs a bit uneven at idle 1000-1200.
So, after a week of abject misery after my Fave bike - 05 Gen1 Fazer 100 - was stolen from my sisters drive by the local little scrotes, I have managed to retrieve it from the little darlings and get it back to the safety of my garage.
Insurance Assessor is due out next week so I thought I'd get a look over done first to see if it was worth buying it back to repair.
Good news is that all the big important things appear fine, wheels, forks, frame etc.
Having re-connected the chopped loom at the ignition I now have all lights, horn & oil light on dash but no Neutral light and the starter button is dead as a dodo. Nothing, not even a click.
Need to get it started asap to be sure the engine is sound so any help or advice on what to check now is welcome.
Possible causes ?
Ignition cut out relay behind L/H panel. Can this be tested ?
Side stand switch - checked & seems ok
Starter solenoid ?
Clutch switch ? Clutch cable and lever are disconnected but switch bypassed.
Neutral switch failed ?
Here for sale is a standard Gen 1 rear shock absorber that was overhauled & rebuilt approx 5 years ago.
It's sat all wrapped up in a box in my garage all that time as I did Devilsyam's R6 shock mod when I bought the bike about 4 years ago.
I was new to Fazers back then and didn't realise what was already on the bike and, taking much of the good advice available on this site decided to "upgrade" what I thought was a standard shock to the R6 one.
I believe everything was done by MCT Suspension (sticker on the shock) and the spring replaced with a K-Tech 55-175-90 one, which I think is for a YZF-R1 looking at their parts catalogue but I don't really know what the numbers mean.
I think the first two are the part number and the 90 is the spring rate (90 N).
It's in really good nick with a small amount of surface rust on the preload adjuster and outer body of the shock absorber and a small amount of damage to the rubber bump stop.
All the working parts are like nearly new.
It also comes with the standard dog bones I took off when doing the R6 mod.
Anyway, check out the photos and see what you think.
I'm asking £125 for it plus postage, which I'm not sure how much that costs as I've never sold anything like this before!!
Hopefully will go to a good home and a Foccer who is looking for an upgrade to their standard shock.
