Hey all, been a while since i posted, still riding my 2nd Fazer but came badly unstuck and need advice please. Chain came off at about 80km/h, took out the mount for the front sprocket cover, plus a 6cm hole on the side of the block. I tried using pratley steel to cover it up but the engine...

Early november I dropped my bike ... not paying the correct attention led me locking up the front wheel and going down. It was less than 50km/h, full gear saved most of me, but the fazer sadly went to the grave. She had a cracked frame already, and at 173 odd thousand km it was not worth...

I did a search for this and found essentially nothing on here. Motogymkhana: Welcome to Moto Gymkhana American Motorcycle Gymkhana Riders Association - Index I've done parking lot training before that looked exactly the same as this, and the results are always really impressive for the...

Hey guys, i know this is a fazer forum, but i haven't joined any Suz forums yet, hoping for some advice :D Picked up a really neat gn250 recently to teach the wife and kids to ride, fully working, but it's been standing a lot so everything is a little bit rusted etc. Going through it one...

So i've been lane splitting the same highway for over four years now. Since they were doing horrendous road works, where there wasn't even space for bikes, until now, where the highway has been improved, and it's all great and happy. Now i guess i'm about the only rider who is still riding...

So i got my piece of tar, a nice guy who owns some parking up the road has agreed to let me use it for a "motorcycle training fun day" ... kind of thing. Here's what i have: 2 pieces of clean tar, longest about 60m, about 30m wide, plus parking. Some exercises: 1.Stopping (with tape...

I bought my fazer 4 years ago this month, 2nd hand with just over 30 000km on, still very neat. Looking around the showroom she just caught my eye, and i still rate her the most beautifully designed bike of the last few years ... it's the eyes i tell you! The price was R48 000, and worked out...

Following on a similar thread, i now have: 1. 2 Engine mounting bolts, about 8cm longer than the standard. 2. 1 Polyethaline plastic solid tube 65mm wide and about 300mm long. So all i need now is a lathe to shape the plastic into the correct format. 1 problem i see already is the...

So after a few repairs and adjustments, i'm not getting great fuel consumption. Now this could be a number of things, if you guys could just double my thinking on this? I ride a fair mix of high speed and slow, so it's a very all round average figure. From the start i was getting 22km/L, as...

Hey guys, found a really cool flickr stream, Flickr: ~FreeBirD®~'s Photostream Seems to be someone living in France, who travels quite a bit, pretty pictures from all over the place. But, they ride an FZ6, so aside from lotsa nice bikes, quite a lot of really nice shots of the fizzer...

I am investigating options in building a new frame for the fazer. It would likely be tubular stainless steel, done by an engineering shop. When i discussed this with the engineer, who is also looking for a bike, he replied that he'd make himself a frame, too. Then he could source an engine etc...

I'm riding to work yesterday, lane splitting on our N1 highway, 3 or 4 lanes between home and work. It's a gorgeous morning, sun nice and bright, air crisp and cool, and i'm just taking a leasurely ride to work. The traffic is free flowing, and i'm running a bit faster than them, working my...

Some of you may recall my problem with the cracked frame. Sadly the weld hasn't lasted, but it was a possibility at the time, since the weld was only done on one side. We suspect that one of the ribs on the inside on the frame still had a crack, which spread. So most likely month end, i'll...
