Hi Chaps, Just recently bought a FZS 600 (1998) S reg, done a few miles but is reasonable clean, in need of quite a bit of TLC though. Started with sorting the rear brake caliper, a right bugger (common problem I hear), getting new pistons and seals fitted.
This is my second one, recently I had a 1999 model, paint was a bit scruffy (DIY spray job by previous owner), but after I overhaulled all the brakes, fitted a Nitron Shock, Hyperpro fork springs & decent tyres (Dunlop road smarts) it handled reallly well.
Unfortunately I got a fantastic trade-in for a new Triumph Speed Triple R, so it had (Sadly) to go.
Got this one now for commuting etc, and am enjoying sorting it, as per the previous one (luckily I kept most of the goodies when I traded the first one in).
I have owned a lot of bikes over the years, and I must say that the Fazer is right up there with the best, I love em.
Cheers
Del Boy
