10 years ago tomorrow I PX'd my Fazer 600 against a CB1000R, something I've regreted ever since!


The Honda lasted 3 years before it was exchanged for a Fazer 1000 which I've still got, the longest I've ever kept a bike, taking over from the 600.


I'd love to know what's happened to my old 600, it looks like it's been on SORN since last summer, anyone on here got it?

Thinking of a trip up there today and will be coming up from the south M1 any recommendations or tips as to the best route. 

EDIT to say I went and my report is here http://foc-u.co.uk/index.php/topic,24310.0.html

Can't wait for the England game. Bikes fuelled up, tyres checked, oil checked, 2/3 hours empty roads aaaaaahhhhh bliss, won't see a kick of the ball or a penalty taken or many cages trying to make scrap out of my bike and me. 

Hey guys.
Strange issue here today. I was out on holidays for a couple weeks and my bike was idle during this time. Before i went on holidays my rad was leaking so i removed the radiator and prepared the bike for the new one that i ordered.
Today i managed to get the new radiator on the bike. But when i tried to start the bike it would not start. Even with the choke on. 
I managed to get the bike started, but noticed that the fuel pump was priming even with the bike running.
Eventually it died. after that it starts but after a few minutes it dies.
Please note that i have just recently service the bike  -  clean the carbs, sync it, change the HT leads and plugs, oil, filter, air filter etc.


Not sure if this is related to the replacement of the radiator. I would not think so.


Thanks for your help

Hi all, who on here has gone from a gen 1 thou to the FZ6? happy with the switch? reasons for & against. No plans to swap my thou any time soon as i'm still fettling & buying shite for it but every now & then i do like to swap for a 600.


Don't want to cause any friction but is there a specific model FZ6 that is considered the best one to get. Cheers, D.

Good afternoon Gents.


First post and unfortunately its one seeking a little help. I did a quick search but couldnt find anything so I apologise if this has already been posted.


So I purchased the bike in 2015 from another forum member and since then it has been a beautifully reliable machine. Sadly after a recent trip to Ireland I noticed a liquid burning off the header pipes at standstills accompanied by an unwelcome smell. The leak seems to be coming from the left hand side of the bike but a quick removal of the front sprocket cover only revealed lots of grimey oil and not much in the way of understanding where the leak is coming from.


It might be worth stating that before the trip the bike had an oil and filter change and at no point did the oil warning light come on and the inspection window is as it should be.


Any thoughts?


Thanks in advance for he help.
