Hi all, just a quick introduction before I get onto the issues with a slightly poorly Fazer…
Not a Fazer rider myself but recently bought the fiancée a 99 model as her first bike and she loves it. It’s seen better days, little bit rough round the edges but rides nicely enough and perfect for her to get her confidence up. Handles well and stops well for what it is (not to mention for it’s bargain basement price).
The engine isn’t running its best, but I think it’s fixable and have been quietly getting info from the site since I registered a few weeks ago. But will put up a more detailed post in the appropriate section on the issues soon.
But for now just saying hi and looking forward to some of the good knowledge from the long standing members here.
I’m changing the fork oil following the Haynes manual.
It says to take note on the distance between the damper locknut and the top of the threaded damper rod. I measured it at 15mm.
I remember the guy who changed the fork oil last time commented that he didn’t know what this measurement was and had to Google it to find out.
I wondered if anyone knows if this is set correctly?
I have a lovely FZ1-S Fully Faired Gen II, have done for 2 years now, and she is my baby, out twice a week, every week, but unfortunately, I do have a real baby in my life now.. I have just had the bike fully serviced (main dealer) + MOT, but sadly do not ride anymore. I want to, don't get me wrong! But, for the purpose of a newborn, I think I will have to stop for a short period. I am only 26, I have been an all season rider for the past 10 years, so won't be out for long, but do not want the lovely bike to just sit there unused. Does anyone have any advice on what would be best for me to do? I got the bike from a main dealer, and it really doesn't want for anything else.
Details:
Full Givi Rack
Scott Oiler
Yoshimura Exhaust + Power Commander (+Original Exhaust)
Comfort Seat
Zero Gravity Tinted Screen
New Tyres
Full Service History
Fazer Tank Protector
R&G Crash/Paddock Stand Bobbins
Currently on only 27,000ish, very well looked after
Personally, I don't want to sell the bike, but I am going to have to, it is a great bike just sitting here unused. This bike was instead of the perfect stepping stone FZS600. What do you think the bike is worth? And is an owners club a place to sell these machines? I look forward to hearing from you all P.S Photo below

Hi all, rebuilding my Fazer gen1 with new powder coated frame, however passage of time has meant I have no memory of where the hoses that connect to these 2 pipes go!! All advice welcome
Just wanted to put this out there for anyone else wanting a new battery....
My one finally died (been on the bike for about 6/7 years so not done bad)
So i looked online and found Tanya batteries, and ordered a new YT14B-BS thursday evening and it was delivered friday lunchtime
Excellent service and cheaper than Halfords who couldnt deliver until next week.
Hi everyone, I'm trying to track down my old FZS600 (T629 AFP) Last thing I know about it is that it was sold to Webbs (Eye) which has now closed about 14 years ago. It's MoT expired over a year ago according to the gov.uk site. I know this is a longshot but any information would be appreciated. Thanks
Much on social meja can be misleading/untrue etc. This engine oil additive is claimed to take the S2 up to 108 HP, that's a relative whopping increase. I'm inclined to think its an extravagant claim. Any thought anyone? https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qMvDaE1GPuo
Hi people, I’ve just got hold of a 2000 fazer 600 and in the left (as you sit on the bike) headlight has a metal bracket that sits over the bulb inside the lamp unit. This has come loose and is flapping about in the headlight and will probably fail an MOT as it affects the beam. Has anyone stripped a headlight down or does anybody know if they come apart? I’m guessing a new/secondhand unit won’t be cheap!
