What have you done to your FZS600 bike today

[oddbob13]

And yesterday I put a brand new pair of Michelin PR 3s on, goodbye wobbly bars 

[mtread]

Good choice. PR3s are excellent on the 600

The PR3s on my Fazer are the best tyres I have used for all round performance wet or dry. (Got PR4s on the Tracer- factory fitted)

Oh no, not another tyre thread again  :pokefun :lol

[mtread]

You can never get tyred of the oiled threads getting repeated :-)

[Disorderlypunk]

these old treads seem to be doing circles

[sgpwwg]

just finished a 820 mile round trip to the Nurburgring, did 5 laps of the the 'Green Hell' which was an awesome but scary experience. The old Fazer never missed a beat even after maxing it out on the autobahn with an indicated 145 chasing my brother on Aprilia Mille.

Yeah, but he would have had to stop for juice a bit more often then you

Fitted my new shock. Hoping to try it tomorrow it the rain holds off long enough.

[kgjersda]

So got my remaining parts for the rear shock R6 upgrade.
Will be doing the swap shortly

Not as exciting as all the shiny new shocks, but I finally sorted out the crappy feel on the rear brake which has been there since I got the bike. It's never been sharp even after a full overhaul and bleed, but noticed a lot of play in the cotter pin on the pedal when I was cleaning/lubing it up the other day: https://gfycat.com/EarnestImaginaryHornedviper


Replaced the cotter and pin with new bits from Fowlers and it's solid as a rock now! 


Has anyone else noticed that the Boxeye no longer appears on Fowlers website when you type in your numberplate (or even if you search manually)?  I had to get the part numbers separately and search for them that way.

[darrsi]

You can still use the AJ Sutton website for part numbers or descriptions, plus to have look at the not so funny prices.  :lol

Taken the nose cone off, because i need to repair it, got a chunk missing on right hand side, so gonna be messing about with some fibre glass mesh, matting and that lovely resin  .
Spayed the rear panel red, looks quite good for my first ever attempt, resprayed the tank, all this is for the first time for me, so not going to look professional, and I am a little impatient
you know, all the time I'm repairing I'm not riding  :'( but we have to do what we have to do.....
any tips, tricks or advise welcomed.

Wrote 'er off. Or at least allowed some other idiot to.. :'(
Riding to work (Halifax) on A629 (new Road) just out of Denholme by the b6141 (long causeway) - for those that might know the area - I'm coming thru' the bend to be met with a largish flatbed truck out of control with its back end rapidly catching up and passing its front end. On my side of the road. It sideswiped me, pushed me down and under the back end and spat me out at the other end. I crawled away to be quickly met by various concerned souls who were a bit shocked to find me pissing myself laughing at my lucky escape (in't Adrenalin brilliaaaant!!!). Turns out there was a big diesel spill up ahead (which he had come through) - I reckon he'd braked as he met the back of the queue going into Denholme, unfortunately for all - mainly me - this was amidst said diesel spill so he lost it big time. Fortunately yrs truly was only doing 20 as I'd just exited some roadworks with no tarmac. Nevertheless very very scary to see a truck spiralling at you!!! :eek
So - long morning spent in A&E getting seen, fortunately no injures beyond extensive bruising and sprained foot. So far anyway. Astonishingly no damage to my kit though the helmet almost certainly took a knock. The bike however is goosed from nose to tail, deffo a write off. (No photos - you'll only get upset.)
Then off home for tea biscuits and a stern lecture from Mrs Wharfe along the lines of "isn't it time you gave up biking for the sake of your family etc etc" Er, no dear,  it's time I bought another low mileage foxeye Fazer to ride to work on  and maintain my sanity with, actually....
Anyway looks like I'll be doing Foc all for a few days (as I can't weight bear) so watch this space!

theres your defense to the other half
would have been trapped in a tin coffin if you were in a car

[daviee]

fitted hid projectors good improvement and the angel eyes are pretty cool

[vinnyb]

Fitted my new engine bars

[F4celess]

Fitted my new engine bars

VERY smart!  8) I like the "chunkiness" of these. Plus a nice colour match to the Engine/casings behind.
So utilising the 2 bolts on the side of the Frame, plus looks like a clamp (around the frame tube) underneath?

Do you think it gives the bike more "attitude" ?
