Right guys, need to free up some cash so I'm going to sell everything that I have so far pieced together to build my café racer project......


2005 Frame with V5, Silver engine complete, Carbs, Wheels, Forks, Hangers and pegs, Stands, some electrics, Hydraulic clutch set up, R1 gold wavey discs, tank etc................... - I don't have any of the nose though as it was going to be a café racer


I have not yet had chance to price everything up as ive literally just decided it has to go (sold wifes manual car to buy an auto for my dodgy knee and now she is sad)


PM me and we can work stuff out

Hi Guys just bought a FZ6 S2 and I was wondering if the ignition key is meant to fit the seat lock ? My ignition key will not open the seat up at all  :rolleyes

Anyone know the diameter of the fuel hose needed from the tank to the fuel filter, looks like 10mm, not sure.


Linky?




Cheers again guys

Hi Guys,

First time I have ever done this so just wanted some words of advice really.

Have checked the clearances as best I can ( I hope :S) some of the tolerances seem right on the edge of minimum.

Would you recommend leaving them, or if shimming is required, which ones?

Worth getting someone else to double check?

Have attached picture of my measurements.

Many thanks in advance

Be careful though if you are the sensitive type this stuff will burn if left on the skin.

Out of curiosity, are there many owners like me on the forum who bought their Fazer new and still have it.
I bought my 600 new in November 2003 for €7250 with 1 mile on the clock  and still have it  now  87312 miles later.

Going through its history the other evening: it is on its 24th rear tyre 18th front tyre, 3rd chain, 3rd rear sprocket, 10th front sprocket, 4th gear shift rubbers (needs changing), 2rd set of footrest rubbers, 7th set of front brake pads, 4th set of rear brake pads, 11th oil filter, 2nd set of downpipes (original being on for 70,000 miles) and 2nd set headlight bulbs (Changed originals for Osram Night Brakers and use the originals as spares when touring) and 2nd clutch cable, 2nd set of brake hoses, 2nd set of discs, 2nd set of front wheel bearings and 2nd set of rear wheel bearings, 2nd fork springs, 3rd rear shock (original changed at 20000 miles and replacement Hagon shock returned to Hagon last year at around the 83000 mile mark (It started leaking) and they replaced it completely for half the price of a new one.


Only real extras were Yamaha Engine Bars, Progressive Fork Springs, Hagon rear shock, Meta357t-V2 alarm, Scotoiler with touring kit behind number plate, Tank cover, Tank bag and complete Non Fango Touring kit.



It is still as enjoyable to ride as the day I bought it and very clean for the mileage, thanks to AutoGlym and WD40 

I want to get a pro taper kit for the Fz1 and I have been having a lot of trouble trying to find short bar risers. I am seeing them all over the posts and im hoping someone can point me in the right direction.

Any fazer owners live near Basingstoke?


Would like some advice on what is ailing my 2001 boxeye.


Running rough and very viby. rebuilt carbs, balanced carbs, new air filter, oil filter fuel filter. new front sprocket and knut


Bikes don nearly 17000 miles.


Its getting so I don't want to ride it anymore, pins and needles in my hands after riding it, plus I get embarrassed taking it to loomies  :'(


Thanks for reading the sob story
