You may Want to Consider the Brushes in your starter motor being worn. Im assuming the starter motor is an original fitted by yamaha. The repair is easy to do if your up for it. you could just get another motor from a breakers or Ebay. A call to your nearest trusted dealer for prices of the brushes should be a consideration in case getting a second hand motor is cheaper than the brushes. just changing the starter motor is three bolts, two hold the motor in place the third is the high ampage wire from the starter solenoid. Tap out the starter motor with a piece of 2x1 and a mallet. If you're an experienced diy mechanic changing will take about 20 mins. If not take lots and lots or pictures as you take it apart.and take your time. Hope this helps.

Thanks very much for your advice, have now sorted with a second hand starter motor off eBay for £16 (plus a bit of labour) that did the job, that's what I love about the Fazer - Loads of cheap parts available if needed, although still looking for a black bagster tank cover if anyone has one?

Parts are typically cheap...
Accessories chew up your wallet and spit out the few old dirty pennies you didnt really want anyway...

I've had same problem re intermittent starting a quick rock in gear would sort it. Monday it stopping working even when rocked in gear. So this afternoon after work I removed starter motor and stripped it down. Found out it has 2 bushes and one of them had stuck in. Gave it a clean,wd40, removed the shit, put back together and now works a treat.. Just thought I would share it. Maybe worth checking out the bushes before buying a replacement.. Fzs600 02. Cheers
