Does anyone know if the FZR 600 cylinder head, will fit the FZS 600. I have really had some bad luck with broken downpipe studs. Or has anyone got a good FZS 600 head with all exhaust studs by chance. Many thanks

Why do you need to replace the head? I had two snapped flush and just took the entire engine to my local engineering shop and they drilled them out and re-tapped all for like £30

I had 6 snap flush, and a new head (including valves, springs, shims, buckets, cams) was only £50, getting them drilled/retapped was quotes of £150 onwards everywhere I looked

I hope that wasn't a skilled mechanic who snapped 6 studs in a row?

It wouldn't have mattered who done it - They were soaked in penetrant for two weeks, there was very little of the exhaust nuts left before the procedure even started. I'm not sure what they're made out of on the fazer, but it's most certainly not standard. I kept some of the nuts in a bag to show people, if you press them between your fingers they actually crumble.

I know plenty of skilled mechanics, and I also know the procedure very well - they wouldn't have done it any differently. The best chance to remove them successfully would have actually been to dremel the nuts off, but due to the awkward frame of the fazer that's almost impossible.
