Hi all, new member here o/ need your advice.

My Fazer600 "00 has been restricted at the carbs for a year now and I'm unsure if those are causing my problems. I've recently changed the spark plugs/carb rubbers/battery/fuel filter and cleaned out the old air filter with compressed air. It's ran fine up until Winter, the bike will start up when kept inside, but a few hours outdoors and I'm having to resort to bump starts to get going(with the old/new battery) I also have horrendous idling and bogging I've attempted to adjust idle mixtures but it doesn't make a difference. The bogging is really bad at low speeds/gears and there is a tonne of exhaust popping when downshifting no matter how often I try to adjust the mixture it doesn't help.


I appreciate all your input.

Out of curiosity, any one out there like me, who never uses a GPS when going on Holidays by bike.

Definitely think the GPS takes all the fun out of going on holidays by bike, :eek

Taking the wrong route and finding out it is far better than the one a GPS would have taken you.
Getting lost and having to stop and ask direction only to have the fellow you are trying to speak to is stone deaf
Getting lost and having to stop and ask direction from a couple in a car and discover they are totally naked :
Nearly missing the ferry because you took a wrong turn
The fun in the high speed ride to get back on the right route and making the ferry by 5 minutes.
Going through Belgium for the first time and discovering they have the worst road signage in Europe.
Trying to find your way out of Mons in Belgium when both routes to the motorway are completely blocked by overturned trucks.
Discovering the sign for Paris in Belgium is also the road to Masstricht which is in the opposite direction.
Watching a fellow with a GPS getting into a total panic in Southern Spain because the GPS battery went flat

I think I will stick with the ould general area map, my €50 phone and my €80 Tablet with maps downloaded to it; way more fun and a lot cheaper than the GPS.

For sale Fazer FZS600 2002 (02 reg)
MOT till April 2018.

Morning all,


Just bought a 2003 foxeye off Ebay. I was the only bidder, probably because it's French registered. That suits me, as I'm doing up a house in southern Brittany, and need  to commute from Leeds on something which uses less juice than my ancient 4L Ford Aerostar van!


It looks reasonably tidy, but the photos aren't that great...Cue moody photo

Anyway, I've been reading around the forum and it looks like there's a wealth of knowledge here. I'm already on the lookout for an R6 rear shock, as I'm a 16 stone tallbloke. This is only my second 4cyl bike, the last was a Z650 back in 1982. In between I've mostly been riding big twins:


Norton Commando I bought for £350 (It had been stuffed into a police car and the owner wanted rid quick)
Guzzi Spada 1000 (Took it round Europe, and the clock, twice)
BMW R1100GS (Crashed it spectacularly when I met a car which was on the wrong side of the road on a bend)
BMW R850R (Nice enough, but a bit dull)


Now wanting some fun as well as a reliable mile muncher, and on a tight budget, so here I come. I'll be picking the bike up from London in a week or so.

Hi lads, I want to get an RFID ignition, though its not advised with bike with factory immobiliser, im not sure of the bike is fitted with one? and if it does how can i deactivate it?


Regards

Evening Gents


I was just browsing around trying to find some info on my bike and found the forum.


Just got a Fazer last week, hugely impressed! its my second bike, first bike was a 84" Honda Nighthawk, Iv'e already got started on stripping the bike down, my plans are as follows..


Custom made single seat and cut away excess frame, install a rear hoop with brake and indicators built in
clipons, new switches and brake and clutch levers
Led headlight built in indicators
Motogadget speedo built into top yoke
Motogadget RFID ignition


this is the last pic i took, i put on the headlight to see how it looked, but now more parts are taken off and gone to get sprayed


If anyone can tell me if this bike has an immobiliser? i cant find any info on that so far


Regards

Anyone got a Fazer (or any Yamaha) with a Key No 0918? :rolleyes  P.S. Lads, I know I can get a new key cut as long as I have the number.

Hey guys a couple of bits surplus to requirements.


FZS1000 Gen1 rear disk hanger plus the caliper anchor bar/rod see pic below.


Also a 2003 FZS 600 Fazer caliper, in reasonably good nick, the pistons look absolutely fine, not rusty, as does the rest of the caliper, the hex key pad pins are OK and undo as do the bleed screws. The caliper works absolutely fine and has no problems, it might look better for a repaint if you can be arsed, see the pic.
If your interested £12-00 would do it but remember postage needs to be added, so bear that in mind (38K miles) on caliper


I did not pay a fortune for the blue spot caliper and aesthetically the blue spot is in better condition, so not wanting a lot for the 600 one, hence £12 + postage


I took it off the FZS 600 to fit the upgrade Blue Spot Caliper from the fZS1000, hence the Gen1 FZS 1000 caliper hanger and anchor/torsion bar being up for grabs. if someone wants to pay the postage on the hanger and torsion bar they are welcome to it.
