Hi


I am looking at getting a FZ6 S2 but after hours of searching I cannot seem to see anywhere to run a chain through the frame of a FZ6 for security.


is it possible to run either a 16mm or 19mm chain through the bike so that the whole bike can be secured rather than just chaining up the wheel?


or does the anti pinch pins fit through anywhere? and if so what size is required?

After picking up my Fazer last Wednesday, todays been the first chance Ive had to start having a proper poke around it. So, after getting rid of some of the anodized blue bits fitted by a previous owner (on a gold bike? really?), I took the seat off to have a look underneath. No tool kit, but my tool roll fits in fine, with my disc lock and sidestand puck. Noticed its had a datatool evo alarm fitted, as the control box is still there and looks to be still connected, although I dont have the fobs for it. Theres also 2 mystery connectors under the seat, anyone know what theyre for?

Next job is to get rid of the blue screen, once Ive decided what type I want to replace it with.

Fazer wanted for me to use to commute and ride out close to somerset. Money needs to be close to £1500 but anything considered. The sooner the better as i am starting a new job this month and travelling by car is not n option.

What is out there???????????

Last night was first time I tried the centre stand on my Fazer, needed wheels off to fit tyres!!

I thought it was me (5ft7 but medium build) but my 6ft 2 son also struggled to get it up onto the centre stand?

Are they all like this? I may have to get a set of weights and bench Lol

Can anyone suggest a sure fire method of tightening the yoke nut in such a way that it doesn't put a slight twist on the top yoke leaving you with a skewed handlebar? I'm on my third 're-tighten' since replacing head bearings and I've nearly got it straight but it's still tipped to the right a bit, obviously pulled round by the tightening torque. It's not a disaster, just annoying.
I'll get it right sooner or later but my method of deliberately skewing the handlebars to the left before tightening is a bit crude. Has anyone got a better method?

So I'm on an A2 licence at the moment and would be very great full if any of you good folk could tell me what deal is with proof of restriction? Do I need a certificate? Can I legally fit it myself and write up a very myself etc..
I have no problem fitting myself just need info about legality and certificate side of things cheers all!

I'm sure you folk are well aware about the well known sprocket nut  issue?
Well after buying the bike last year I was delighted with it even if I had only done 10-20 miles before tucking it away for the winter! As with everything I've owned/bought I always like to strip it down and check all the wear and tear items e.g., pads, calipers, seals, bearings, bushes and well everything really. So I'm a bit pernickity so had a list as long as my arm with things needing done which probably didn't but anyway this bloody did!!!

[size=2]Hi all,


Bought my Fazer in November last year and it was displaying the 7k code on the tachometer.

Went out today to have a look, loosened the cables (top was very slack already) valve turned freely as expected; the seller advertised the bike as having had a new valve, end plate and bushes.

After a few attempts at adjusting the cables I am now free of the 7k code. However, having looked at a few videos of working valves, the initial position of mine at idle seems to be off somewhat and despite several attempts adjusting I could not get the forks of the pulley to line up with the hole. I'm also unsure whether it is opening fully, I thought it seemed a bit hesitant. Does it open all the way to the 2 O'clock position at red line in revs?

Here is the video, I took the revs up to about 9k at the end. I was hoping an expert could cast their eye over this and perhaps give me some pointers

Thanks in advance
