    Hi, So Im new, but I have a question for anyone who could help. My Box Eye Fazer has bad lights, a common problem. I want to swap the fairing for a standard headlight from an MT07 or similar, but can't see how the light attaches to the forks/steering and all the dealers are shut. Any one done this mod ?

    Question concerning the fazer headlight. I'm fitting a fazer headlight to my fz which I might say is taking some time due to the amount of fibre glassing. I would like to now if the lefthand light when you're on the bike is wired to the dip or main beam. If anyone can let me know I would appreciate it. Thanks

    awrite folks newbie looking for advice!! I have a 99 plate Fazer which was off the road for a while and when I put it nack on the road it developed this problem!! When accelelarating hard the bike stutters as if the carbs are flooding but the power kicks in after a second or so! I have replaced fuel pump, filter, drained tank and filled with new fuel, recharged battery, changed oil and filter, cleaned carbs and checked that clean fuel is flowing through but the problem is still there and I am at a loss as to what can be causing it!! Any ideas or suggestions will be appreciated. Thanks

    Hi just to advise I advertised my Fazer 600 abs model last week. This has now been sold elsewhere. Checkout other items from this bike I have forsale. Yamaha genuine accessories, Topbox Fazer mounting brackets, and a 45Ltr Gavi topbox, this box is a MonoLock system box ??I think, there are two type this is the cheaper one. Both items in excellent condition, they were only fitted in July 07. The brackets cost £140 new and the box was £60. No sensible offer refused but bear in mind this item will also be listed on e-bay. Items are located on Wirral Merseyside. If you e-mail about items I will give you a contact number to call. Lew

    ...So as not to inadvertantly hijack another thread (I'm guilty of it too :oops: )....I thought I'd carry on here.... About the only things that fit that bill right now are an EX500 Ninja or an SV650 :? .....oh & of course the new FZ6 Fazer 8) I used to ride this for 13 years, & TBH am missing it quite a bit lately .... Back in the 80's, all the manufacturers had middleweights (pre-600) both in the sportbike & cruiser classes. But now, you're hard-pressed to find any NON full-on 600 sportbikes......closest thing really is the SV650. When I 1st saw the new FZ6, I thought "Thats the ticket I've been waiting for!"......that is until …
