Hi there, I have a 2003 fazer 1000 in metallic red and there is no stickers or info anywhere for the paint code. Does anyone have it please?

Many thanks Gareth

After a winter being laid up and a recent MOT I've started using the old girl again. 


I've noticed I have a speed related whine.  When I slow at a junction the noise slows accordingly. 


Seems to be from the front.


Some things to check would be ideal.


Could it be the front brake binding?
Speedo cable dry?
Front Sprocket?

Hi everybody

I measured the voltage at the input of the coils of my 1000 FZS 2004 = it gives about 6V volts at idle. Is it normal ? The bike does not run very well. I can't find this information on the tech review.Thanks a lot

Hello, my name is jean, I had a 2010 FZ6 and today an old 2004 FZS with carburetor. I'm in Paris, and I apologize for my bad English

THanks a lot

Hi,

Bought a 2003 FZS 600 a few weeks ago for 2k euro. Needed around 2k euro in work done to it but it's like new now. It's a bit pricey at 4k euro but these days 4k won't buy you much, maybe an fz6 but don't like the looks of those.

The bike is almost done now, I want to add a bellypan and it needs some paint work. But mechanically it's done.

This is my 11th motorcycle and the oldest one I've owned but god damn, it's such a sweet ride.

It feels better to ride than my old 2018 GSXS750. Did my first proper ride with it today on twisty roads and it sure flies for being nearly 20 years old.

This one is going to be a keeper (can't buy anymore from the missus). I really dig the looks, it's very nimble and light and it's pretty rapid.

SOLD

Hello - long time no type - the bike has been sat in the garage for many years (ahem - over 10, kids, work etc) and we've sold the house so need to either sell the bike or move it to the new house.


I thought I'd see how much effort it would take to get her running again and a[size=1em]fter hotwiring the System 3 (thanks YouTube) which had died completely she bike started first time.  I was, and still am, amazed.  She was running lumpy, but ran.  T[/size]he wife thinks I'm going to sell the 'unused' bike so we don't need to move it to the new place.  Well, stuff that, I'm going to start riding her again (the bike, the marriage isn't that bad). 


[size=1em]I've now replaced the PCB in the System 3 for a second hand one from eBay and that's working a treat.  I've had the tank off and the petrol was rusty, the tank isn't too bad though, I suspect a flush\clean will do the trick.  The petcock was leaking though (only when I turned it off, so suspect a seal has gone) so removed that only to find the petcock filter is a) knackered and b) stuck solid.  The fuel hose from tank to filter was also leaking (possibly perished, possibly my fault when removing).[/size]



So, the ask(s) from you knowledgeable lot:


1) Where would you get a replacement fuel tank petcock?
1a) An alternative would be to get a replacement seal kit (found one of those) and gauze filter but for this to work I'll need to remove the existing filter and that's not budging so far.  Any tips (for both removing it and where to buy a replacement filter)?
2) The tank to filter fuel hoses I have found are ludicrously expensive - ~£60.  They are perfectly shapped to fit but still!  Does anyone have any recommendations for getting this part cheaper, or should I buy some standard fuel hose and attempt to shape a piece myself?

Bike is a 2002 FZS 600 Fazer, BTW.


Many thanks for any suggestions in advance.

Hi brains trust. I have a 2004 FZS1000 engine (Australian model-if that makes any difference) i intend fitting to a bike engined car build, hopefully looking like a 1960s F1 car, such as the Brabham BT21. I have the  main loom but missing several parts including the tip over /bank angle sensor. I know the circuit can be bypassed with simple resistors, but wondering if anyone knows the specifics or has done this?
  I will also need to bypass the EXUP servo motor circuit, as i don't have or need it. Are there any cheap ways of doing this, as i assume it can't just be left unplugged.
Lastly, can the engine be started and run without the instrument cluster?
  Thankyou for any help you can give me.

Thought I'd get on this forum and try and learn from those far more experienced than me. YouTube has been my friend up until now....


Just gone back on two wheels after 35 years away and looking to do DAS in the next few weeks and grab a decent FZ6 S2 - not necessarily in that order. Had DT50MX and DT125LC back in the mid-to-late 80s but never progressed any further as I passed my driving test. Currently driving two Mazda RX8s (long story - I like pain) and being crippled more than usual by the price of fuel plus 18mpg. So did CBT, hopped on a Honda and doing 200 miles a week in town and around villages, and enjoying a fuel bill of £15 rather than £95.


Anyway, I've seen a fair few FZ6 for sale and have done a ton of reading around the subject. I am hoping that a member of this club is as picky about their own machine as I am about my RX8s and might be looking to sell their bike at some point in the future. I'd rather buy from an enthusiast who has kept the bike loved and in good order.

Hi All,
