1.0 Running roughly - Spark plug leads were shorting - corrected by dealer.
2.0 Mixture adjusted incorrectly by the main dealer at the second service. Several attempts to correct - failed - Carbs balanced correctly by non-franchised workshop. Back to how she used to be.
Best bike I've owned as it suits my needs. It's quick enough, handles well and has really good brakes.
Bodywork has covered 9k and is still good - plenty of WD 40.
Exhaust downpipes were a problem on older models, but were improved for the 03 bike. I believe they are mostly stainless steel, so pleased about that.
Front and back tyres changed at 5k with the replacement front being a wider section. Now at 9k these will also need to be changed shortly. The bike is ridden sensibly, but road surface is poor. I've read of other people getting 10k out of their tyres, so I must be doing something wrong.
Engine is fantastic - really usable mid range, which suits me. I love it. It's a real pleasure when I'm out on the bike, I wish the journeys were longer.
A bike I still miss after selling it for something bigger 3 years ago.
Cheap and easy to ride, with real character. Good strong engine (early type), and cruised back from the Alps to the UK at almost 100mph all the way, while doing 50 mpg!
Watch out for worn out rear shocks and seized brakes.
I have got to agree with other FZS600 riders, the machine is simply perfect. I have bought one today and find it a pleasure to ride, even though I have only traveled from Leeds to Wolverhampton.
It is a six year old bike ,02 plate, but looks like new, can't fault it in any way.
