My Fazer project |

Hi Guys, I picked up a real nice Fazer last month, iv'e always liked them, i love the shape of the frame and tank and always thought they were ripe for some modification
Its not a big project Ive practically zero mechanical experience, so its just a wee short back and sides lol im out of work long term sickness so this passes some time
im not convinced on the clip-ons.. i might go for renthals. Il see how it rides with clips ons to see how i like it.
plans are going fast, most of the parts are here and the engine casings, wheels and stantions are in for paint, both the seat and the parts, trimmed front guard, should be back to me on tuesday 
next things to do, a design for the tank.. i think red would look awesome, all of the bike will be black, but i also love the look of bare metal tanks. RFID ignition to be fitted, find a muffler, rear hoop to be welded and just a little wiring and its ready to go...
Once its on the road il look at replacing the airbox, possibly a nicer shaped rear swingarm
heres some pictures, i only have a few, but i will take some more when i collect my painted parts over the next couple of days
this was the day i got it, i immediately gave it a diet.. picture in B&W just to see what it was like with grey tank

I donr this after a week or so.. but its since been taken apart again to have parts painted

side stand removal / fitting help |

Hi guys, i took off the side stand for painting, but now ive put it back on its limp and hanging halfway down and doesn't spring back up (sounds so wrong :lol ) when i kick it back.
i guess i haven't fitted it correctly but it doesnt immediately appear like there is another way to fit it.. so right now im a bit baffled
It look like the washer attached to the spring goes where the bolt is to attach it to the bike and the other end of the spring attaches to the hook further down.
can anyone help me with this who has taken it off before?
or if one of you kind gents take a picture of the stand extended from underneath that would be amazing!!
Thanks in advance
Neil

So make your minds up about the truth!!

Fazer 600 won't start |

Hi Guys
Had my Fazer in the garage since late October.
I tried to start it yesterday with no joy.
It's turning over, doing all the right things just won't start.
So last night I put the battery on charge, drained the carb bowls, re-set the spark gaps.
This morning it started briefly for a second climbed 7k revs but i couldn't catch it. It died and wouldn't start again.
Now what I'm thinking is when i put it away it was running sweet. I went against my better judgement and wintered it up on a near empty fuel tank.
Has moisture got in to the fuel? The garage is unheated and damp, detached from the house. Maybe i should drain all the fuel and refill with high octane?
Thanks for reading this rambling post
