hi Guys - paul1962 - 27-10-16
Just like to say hi guys just got myself a fazer 600 on a 03 plate, love it so far
Name is Paul from Mollington nr Chester Had a few Bird before so after a few bumps I wanted something a bit lighter so got the Fazer and so far seems a great buy

Hello Paul. Welcome to the forum. Like you, I have recently bought a 2003 FZS 600 and really like it.
May well 'bump' into you as I only live in the Wrexham area. Enjoy your new machine in this incredibly mild weather we are having.

[size=1em]Hi Paul,[/size]
[size=1em]Welcome to the snake pit. [/size]
[size=1em]There are a lot of guys on here that know a lot about Fazers and are always willing to offer advice and sometimes practical help. [/size]
[size=1em]Oh! by the way I'm not one of them cos I know very little and my skill level would be classed as entry by most peoples standards.[/size]
[size=1em]It is also a good place to source spares.[/size]
[size=1em]But there is a plethora of knowledge on this forum.[/size]
[size=1em]Great choice of bike I myself have a 2003 Foxeye FZS 600, surprisingly light on its toes, great 4 pot lump that is always willing to please.[/size]
[size=1em]My understanding is it is a de-tuned Thundercat engine, mid rangy with a lot of torque, and, provided its is serviced regularly 125,000 -150,000 miles is not uncommon, mine is on 38,000 and pulls like a train.[/size]
[size=1em]But I do have the super fast Silver one, there are some on here that would have you believe that its just in primer and has never really been finished, but I believe that to be just sour grapes on their part.

This is my new stead hope the pics come out ok
Re: hi Guys - Fazer99 - 31-10-16
Very nice stead you have there and glad to see you purchased a red one as the red ones are the fastest :lol :lol :lol :lol
Re: hi Guys - paul1962 - 31-10-16
thanks well it had to be red as its my fav colour and of course the fastest, bestest colour, I have now painted the down pipes Black as they were looking old stained and discoloured
so to save a lot of time and money trying to polish them back up I thought black was the easy option, and they look fine now

Re: hi Guys - Fazer99 - 01-11-16
that sounds like a nice cheap idea, but what paint did you use?
