FS: Yamaha Fazer FZS600 2003
#1

Now SOLD.
[size=1em]Yamaha Fazer FZS600 2003, in deep metallic purplish blue - the coolest colour of Fazer![/size]

[size=1em]Great all round bike, as commuting hack, small tourer or fun blast at weekends. Showing some age, but maintained to a very high standard with all the big service items sorted. It has had a couple of drops but only received cosmetic damage, the majority of which has been repaired to a high standard.[/size]

[size=1em]I’m second owner of bike, had it just over 6 years, used it as my daily commute, fun weekend bike, longer distance touring and two-up pillion riding. I’ve kept it in tip-top shape and well maintained throughout, on average putting 8-10k a year on it.[/size]

[size=1em]Done 62866 miles (note clocks had to be replaced due to fuel gauge failing, new set show 6k less i.e. 56866). Unlikely to change, as I’ve a new bike for commuting now.[/size]

[size=1em]600cc inline 4 giving 95 bhp. Averages 50mpg ish, with a 200-230 mile range before fuel light comes on![/size]
[size=1em]Note the 2002-2003 FZS600’s have many advantages over older Fazers: large 21 litre tank, better mirrors (from FZS1000), better looking Fox-eye fairing, better headlights, preload adjustment on forks, better pillion pegs and grab handle and clocks with a clock!.[/size]

[size=1em]Rear hugger, and front fender extender fitted.[/size]

[size=1em]Scorpion Titanium exhaust.[/size]
[size=1em]Meta M357T alarm/immobiliser fitted. Replaced in July 2013, as internal battery of unit has ~10 year lifespan before it fails. Has worked faultlessly otherwise.[/size]

[size=1em]New Yusasa battery fitted in Oct 2015[/size]
[size=1em]Forks seals/oil replaced Mar 2015, with genuine seals & dust covers etc. Still good.[/size]

[size=1em]USB socket fitted on dash (auto cuts out when battery voltage drops when engine is off).[/size]

[size=1em]The bad:[/size]
[size=1em]Bike has gone down a couple of times and although has been repaired to a high standard, still has a little cosmetic damage.[/size]
[size=1em]Small scuffs and knocks to tank.[/size]
[size=1em]Small dent in exhaust.[/size]
[size=1em]Some paint lost on engine, radiator and couple of spots on frame.[/size]
