New fzs600 owner - Hello :) (more pics added)

[rw711]

Welcome
plenty of info on all things Fazer here so I'm sure you'll be able to get your new steed back to roadworthy, have a look around the site youll find everything you need to know
and people are pretty friendly here too
However .........  :useless
post some pics of your bike and tell us a bit more like what part of the country you are , how long you been biking etc etc.

No bother    - I havent been able to get any pics of the bike yet as I only picked up the bike yesterday, I will try get some soon - its a blue 2001 model - I still have my zzr600 it was a bit of an impulse buy  :rolleyes  - I have been having a bit of trouble with knee cartiledge just recently and found that the riding position on the zzr was just on the painful bit, and particularly lifting my leg up onto the peg was getting difficult and painful, the seat on the zzr is particularly low, and the pegs high.  I had a good long' delivery ride' for a friend on a Transalp and realised the upright riding position and higher seat was the way to go, the 'alp seemed a bit slow and soft though and they command a high resale value.

I have ridden bikes , mostly kawa's since passing my test at 18 - with a brief layoff whilst the family was young, I had a lot of kawasaki GT's but finding good ones is hard I've had 2 that sheared their frames.

This is first time for a Yamaha I do like the fazers esp the mk1's as they are individual and dont really look like any other bike.

the one I have has 50k miles and needs mot (but it has only done 300 since last mot) there seems to be bits of coolant coming out of the hole in the engine fins (o/s) but thanks to site read that this is a drainage hole for plugs and seen close -ups with a rad hose going above the plugs so I think I've found where to look.

Pics to follow, pic of an old bike in meantime lol.
