**BELOVED YAMAHA FAZER FZS600 STOLEN !! ** - FZSteely - 02-06-14
Hi Guys,
It is with great regret and rage that I have to report my beloved Yamaha Fazer600 as stolen !! The Registration is R782 NFW. Please spread this as far and wide as you can and should you or anyone see it please report it to the police. It is a pretty standard bike but there are a few distinctive marks:
1) The oil cap has broken and the bike was stolen before I could replace it with the new one I ordered, so it looks like a cracked mess.
2) Both rear brake lights failed at the weekend, again stolen before the replacements could be fitted. I know it's not much to go on but that's the best I can do.
3) Grey paint stripe on the side of the rear tyre (for exactly this reason)
The bike was taken from the Wortley area in Leeds, West Yorkshire. Some of you may recall that this was a bike bought for me by my wife as an anniversary gift, something she saved long and hard for, she is even more pissed off than me!
Anyway I've attached pictures of the bike below and also included a Facebook link, please share to as many people as you can.

Kind Regards
James (1 pissed off Focer)

Cheers mate, you never know it might turn up, but after my experience with police enquiries I think I'm more likely to solve the mystery myself! Thanks for your support Red98

Really feel for u mate.... When it isn't just a mode of transport but ur BABY.. Then it will always hurt more ... my partner had her ER6 stolen a while back and she was devastated.. Lots of positive reinforcement from me didn't help but she has an Fz6 now and its blue so that more than compensates :-) u will find another bike and learn to love it just like the one that was stolen...(specially if the mrs helps u choose it) and move on. Hopefully u will be more aware ov where u leave it parked and invest in some portable lockage. Take care out there

LETS ALL DO OUR BIT
Imo - this bike will never be sold as a complete bike.....too much risk for so little return....such cheap bikes right now...yamaha fzs is hardly a stolen to order bike is it...this was opportune.
Parts will most likely end up on here....some indistinguishable ie not black.
Look out for the big bits....front black boxeye fairing undamaged.....rocking horse shite.....if one turns up then it is too good to be true & likely pinched...tank....front fender....rear plastics.....all suspicious if not damaged.
Lets look out for new members with zero posts selling bits for a mate.
Lets look out for folk who dont have a clue about fazers (actually scratch that one thats all of us but you get the point).
Lets look out for the above sellers not accepting pick up or being shadey about their location.
Come on guys...don't buy it if it seems suspect..regardless of how much you need it.....remember....we may give our personal details to these thieves so we can receive the bits, unwittingly or not......be careful....be alert......lets catch these bastards out.....lets show them not to foc with fazers.

Shame it wasn't a blue bike coz then they'd prob still only be round the corner if not only just outta the driveway.
Lets keep this post bumped for a little while, everybody comment as if you are on the word association thread & spread the dread.

Sorry to hear this mate.
Re: **BELOVED YAMAHA FAZER FZS600 STOLEN !! ** - Punkstig - 04-06-14
Sorry to hear, it'll more likely be in a field or stream somewhere!

It was the fastest colour too.
Good luck in finding her.

There's a guy on Biker Booty on facebook selling some Fazer stuff inc a black fairing may just be a coincidence.

Good spot Karlo
Ive had a deek at it & the guys profile...he studied criminology so i hope it wasnt him :b
Seems to have a real facebook profile which lessens the chances of it being him although i cant see most of his pics.
Here's a pic of it for fzsreely to look at anyway.
Lets keep up the good work foccers.

Thanks for spotting it but it doesn't look like it's the fairing from my bike, thank you for your efforts mate, very nice of you.

I just wanted to say a big thank you to all of you who have shown an interest and tried to help me out. I would hate the same thing to happen to anyone else, so I thought I'd share this product with you which I have bought today, a GPS Tracker! They are only £20 quid on ebay. The unit connects straight to your smartphone, laptop etc and alerts you instantly; should your bike be interfered with, without your consent.
If I had have thought to have one installed on my Fazer not only could I have reported the bike's location to the Police, I would also have had the pleasure of being at the scene and laughing my head off as the scum were nicked! You never know if my bike was found others may have been at the same location.
Anyway here's the link below as well as a demo video found on youtube.
All the Best
James.
