what did you do with your fazer today ?

[Red Ceri]

Finally finished putting the 5 spoke R6 wheels on my gen 1 fairly straight forward got a couple of runs arranged this weekend so should see how they perform, probably won't feel any different but needed a challenge.

Yep I guess they will just around and around same as the original ones did, but I agree sometime just for the aesthetics and the challenge it has to be done.  :thumbup

I bet they look awesome on the fazer,  what modifications do you need to do to make them fit?

Going on the LoFo run Sunday so will get some photos done then,

easyish install
Front wheel came with a set of 320mm discs so only needed some caliper mounting bracket spacers, available from Braketech in the USA (don't ask how much  :eek), otherwise a straight swap.

Rear little bit more complex but on sprocket side just needed original Gen1 Sprocket carrier and spacer, on the disc side the wheel came with a smaller disc so I ended up modifying a FZ1 ABS rear caliper mount by filing down ABS mounts then welding on a couple of 10 mm Aluminium plates to match original torque arm then had someone in work machine a large spacer for between caliper mounting bracket to swinging arm, plus a new rear brake line and FZ1 caliper, pain in the bum to get wheel on and off now but doable.

Everything I've done is reversible, so when (and if ever) I come to sell her I can put it all back to standard as I know Gen1s, or any bike, are more valuable standard when it comes to selling time

Done 180 miles today, can't really feel if they have made any difference as I also fitted new Metzler Roadtec 01's, new tyre to me, but overall bike felt really good.

Keep telling myself don't change anything else but already have a R1 Brembo front master cylinder on the way

Looking 4ward to seeing the pics

[Panzerbuilder]

Fixed the stuttering at 3-5k revs.  New plugs and 2nd hand coils for the two centre pots. Now she's
ready for the trip to Selkirk next weekend.  :b

Was it the plugs the coils or a combination of both?

[Panzerbuilder]

Maybe just the plugs. But I changed the coils jic. They were all, new and old, within the resistance check but I had bought them anyway. The bike ran better, or seemed to, after I had just changes the LHS two. And one of the plugs was outside the gap check. (0,7mm) So maybe that was it. I just didn't want to do the job twice.  :eek

Sounds like it was a good plan plus the coils you took off the bike are now in storage for any future issues that might occur. :thumbup

Put some led strip into my instrument cluster. Now I can see what dials are actually reading at night, rather than a dull green haze.

Dull Green Haze!!!! 
My 2002-2003 registered 600 FZS [size=1em]instrumentationlighting is very bright and clear, in-fact I wish there was a dimmer to take them all down a few lumins, and the main beam light is tooooooo bright[/size] :eek  the main beam warning light need its own set of flip down sunnys un [size=1em]like my bucket has.[/size]

[Shez]

Rode it on a new route through Devon and Somerset, a good day!  Saw a nice red fzs 600 near North Fitzwarren. Anyone?

Did you say green, because the standard bulbs are white/yellow, I wonder if somone before you has put crap green bulbs in either hat or most of the original ones were blown
