The simplest replacement option for the FZS600 is a Hagon shock which are around £299 new with a 2 year warranty. If you weigh more than 95 Kgs go for the heavier spring. It fits straight in and no playing with dog bones or spring rates. I have one on my FZS600 and has covered over 60000miles.


[size=1em]The next really necessary expense is the stainless steel after cat exhaust system for my MR2 Spider, that really needs to be done sooooooooooooo badly before the good weather sets in because it doesn't sound as I want it to  LOL.[/size] :eek 
Then the seats are pink spikey leather and I was thinking about getting red leather replacements for the Spider, but I think I may get an unsatisfactory response to that    :foc  GAY - [size=1em]Yeah that's the one[/size][size=1em] :rollin [/size]

Re: what did you do with your fazer today ? - dazza - 01-04-16

Spring was in the air today, so, after a little warm up ride, I dropped the belly pan, changed the oil and filter, adjusted the chain and re lubed, fitted a much faster belly pan  Big Grin  Then got called away to pick my daughter up. So tomorrow, going to change the screen for a double bubble and remove the pannier racks before a little blast down to Rye, hitting the twisties. 8)

Re: what did you do with your fazer today ? - Red Ceri - 02-04-16

Not exactly today, but yesterday had my suspension sorted at MCT in stowmarket.


Ride home in pissing rain so couldn't explore the changes fully, but feels so much more controlled,


Rally great afternoon watching experts at work and not getting pissed off at stupid questions I might have asked. looking forward to getting some new tyres and decent weather to fully explore the changes,

Rode it to Kingswood , then onto Lawrence Weston  , then back home .

Re: what did you do with your fazer today ? - daveph - 05-04-16

Rode from Lincoln to Two Wheels Centre at Mansfield.  Bought a Caberg Duke flip front helmet.  Quite pleased with it.  Rode home, probably looking like a tit.  Dark inner visor down, up, down again.  30 mph zone, front up.  50 zone , front down. Etc.


Very good bike shop, btw.

Re: what did you do with your fazer today ? - unfazed - 06-04-16

Sorted out the sticking clutch cable on the 1000 yesterday by lubing/cleaning the inner. some amount of crap came out of all 10 years of it  building up. Had been meaning to do it with a few weeks. Had a few stalls this morning trying to get used to how light it is. Just like new again :woot Oh! let the weekend be dry Confusedun

Do you find your flip is a bit noisier than the standard full face bucket?
I had been using a cheapish Duchini full face for a couple of years and decided to treat myself to a better bucket but wanted to try out a flip helmet before going down that route, one of my mates had one so I gave it a try but the front only went up so far (about 45 degrees) and it caught all the wind and at above 50 or 60 felt that it was dragging your head backwards. I abandoned that idea for a few months then read about the 'LS2 Convert' helmet where the front chin bar went all the way over the top of the helmet and down level at the back right out of the wind. well I have been riding with the Convert for about a year now and there is a lot to like about it. you can ride open faced with flip screen up or down, open faced with drop down sunnys and the flip up or down. Full face with all the same flip screen/sunny options as open face.


My only couple of gripes is it is a little bit bigger than a standard Full Face because of the flip mechanism also a little bit more wind noise than the standard Full Face. All in all a good bucket. Would I buy one again.....................Yes I believe I would.
Oh! I just thought of another couple of pluses with this bucket, you can take a drink from a bottle of water or soda without removing your helmet, like wise if you are a smoker (I'm not) also garages look on you more kindly if you have you flip front up when you go in to pay for fuel.
Roughly £200 I believe is good value, but then so was my full face Duchini £55 great value skid lid.

Re: what did you do with your fazer today ? - nick crisp - 09-04-16

First ride on the Fazer for a while, went up to the Hartside cafe. The Striple is easier to flick through the tighter bends, but the Fazer's suspension just deals with all the bumps and ruts so much better. It was nice not to get the ear bashing that the Triumph subjects me to for a change as well! The Fazer is still undoubtedly my favourite of the two, just like pulling on the old familiar slippers. Now, where's me pipe? :lol

Re: what did you do with your fazer today ? - RJL - 09-04-16

Had the suspension set up and the throttle bodies balanced. Feels like a different bike.
