Hi everyone! - longstreakz - 08-07-13
Just bought my first fazer 600 (51plate) in red/black as my first big bike and loving it!
its going to be used as my commuter as i dont drive so if anyone could let me know of any problems that
tend to develop in this model it would be much appreciated so that i can keep it running for many years to come!
cheers.

Welcome to the "Foccers" forum. Glad youre enjoying the 600. Plenty of helpful advice on site-have a look round-and dont be afraid to ask if you need specific advice re servicing/maintenance/whatever. Post a pic when you can. :lol

Welcome mate, enjoy the site,
The fazer is pretty bulletproof but for a bike of its age they can suffer from the usual things that every bike of that age suffers.
When you get some spare time take a flick through the 600 section & through the years youll het an idea of what type of things to expect.
The main thing to check id say is the front sprocket nut.
Cheers

Hi Longstreakz,

Re: Hi everyone! - longstreakz - 11-07-13
@noggythenog
ive heard scary rumours of the sprocket nut before but im looking to get the chain and sprockets changed soon so il check it when im doing that.
@slimwilly

Ah, Brighton. So when any FOCcers do a run down there (I'm sure it'll happen one day Steeeve66!), it's all back to yours for a cuppa before everyone scoots off home then?

Someone be brave and pick a date in September for a mass Fazer meet in Brighton, then tea on his lawn.

Welcome to the foc-ers! And you've only bought the best colour boxeye going!
There is a major flaw with the black one, its always got lesser coloured fazers in its mirrors trying to keep up. Because we all know, the black ones are the fastest! 8)
