Hi all, I've just joined the group as I thought it the decent thing to do before gathering any more information. Having owned my 03 Gen1 for about a year now I may even be qualified to comment or help others from my own experiences.

Just spoken to a guy at FireFox Racing about linear fork springs and YSS catridge emulators and he tells me that I don't need to drill bigger/extra holes in the damper rods now, they just drop in with 295mm K-Tech linears, I'm guessing he should know, being an official YSS R&D centre but it goes against everything I've read on here. Any opinions?

Thinking of tarting up the fazer anyone used a hydro dipping kit?

Hi Peeps 


I know from experience what the Ivans (Full Monty Kit) does for the might [size=0.7em]1000[/size]


Curious if anyone has any experience of the Sigma Carb kits from the USA as advertised on ebay, ad claims to sort all the fueling issues that the Ivans kit does, may be a clone of the Ivans kits? never dealt with the Sigma brand before, price works out quite a bit cheaper than the Ivans Kits that are available from (SG Motorsport) .
The only issue is the import tax may kill the deal as it's not stated in the ebay ad, not bought much from the USA before, somehow managed to swerve the import duty on both occasions.

March 18th is the date for both the 79th Pioneer Run from Epsom Downs, bikes start leaving at 8am I believe. Also the Whitstable Egg Run from Gorrell Tank carpark leaves at 2pm going to a school in Canterbury. Expect I'll do both.

Hi All

As of yesterday my fantastic fazer has a knocking sensation coming through the footrests. This is not apparent so much when accelerating but occurs when coming off the throttle to slow down.

My guess is chain link sticking a bit but couldn’t see too much in the gloom tonight.

Any tips appreciated

Hey everyone,


I'm new to the fazer have had a 2001 fzs 600 for a couple of weeks now and have some major issues with the gearbox, I only have neutral and one gear. Should I get the gearbox replaced or would a new engine be cheaper. Everything else seemed to be running fine before hand.
I have some basic mechanical knowledge but not enough to do the job myself.

All in good condition  and removed from fzs1000 04 with 23k on the clock. All prices are for collection barnsley s72 area but i can post at buyers expanse. I can send pictures via Facebook or email not sure how to post them on here but will try. Sensable offers welcome

Stock brake lines front and rear with spliter and bango bolts £15

Pair of standard mirrors £15 sold


Air I induction sytem pump with hard pipes £10 one hard pipe is missing a little piece but no ones gonna want to buy this any way haha

For sale a 2005 Suzuki GS500, selling because I got the Fazer.

The frame could do with some paint in places and there are multiple cosmetic knocks from a previous life as a school bike, but goes/stops fine and will get you where you want to go. There's a rattle from the engine which is most noticable at tickover, I'm 99% sure this is just camshaft endfloat, as these engines are prone to.

Has recently had a new battery and the tyres/pads/chain/sprockets have plenty of life left in them.

Comes with two keys, service history and MOT until mid-June.

I have a Haynes manual for it and a new oil filter which I will throw in if the buyer wants them.

Milage is 50k.

Bike is in West End, Southampton.

Offers in the region of £650 please.
