Fazer 1000/FZ1 corner / Renthal 658's
« on: 20 July 2016, 08:35:51 pm »
Hi,


I've fitted renthal 758's to my fazer which are brilliant, however I saw a fazer with the 658's which looked brilliant, I know they bring you forward slightly more but other than this are there any major issues when comparing the two?


thanks

Fazer 1000/FZ1 corner / Mirror alternatives
« on: 19 July 2016, 05:20:52 pm »
Hi,


Not too long ago I went for the bar end mirror look which I felt went really well with the bike, I used r1 mirror blanks and sprayed them silver to match the bike. Annoyingly as I have renthal bars fitted and this caused issues as I struggled securing the bar mirrors on correctly, I also found that the mirrors made the bike wider which caused problems with filtering. I did revert it back to standard mirrors but just don't seem to like the look of the "bug" shaped mirrors, are there any alternatives?


thanks

Fazer 1000/FZ1 corner / FZS 1000 battery
« on: 28 May 2016, 07:20:55 pm »
Hi, I purchased a , YTX14-BS Powerline Motorcycle Battery 12V 14Ah to replace the knackered battery in the fzs 1000. Got it this morning but its just slightly too big to fit in the bike. Its slightly bigger than the 12-BS it had fitted so its just out and wont budge. As it was listed for a fzs 1000 and some people have fitted them to there fazers its baffling as to why its too big, stupid mistake I guess! Anyone on here have one fitted?

Fazer 1000/FZ1 corner / FZS 1000 battery issue
« on: 26 May 2016, 04:25:16 pm »
Went out for a ride today, bike started and ran fine. I pulled over to have a quick stop but when I went to restart the bike, it just clicked on the starter button ie not enough power to turn the bike over. No terminals were loose on the battery and it ended up with me having to bump it down the road   :rolleyes


Once I got home, I got the multimeter out and got a reading of 11v on the battery which was the same when the bike was running  :\ . Would this indicate a dodgy battery as it does look dated (only acquired the bike recently). I will add that when the bike was sat for a while, I would trickle charge the battery to full charge but if it was left for a few days it would do the same (clicking) when I went to start the bike, so I'm thinking the battery has had it?


Thanks!

Fazer 1000/FZ1 corner / FZS 1000 neutral issue
« on: 10 May 2016, 12:41:17 pm »
Hi, my neutral light does not come up on the dash. The bike only starts when its on the centre stand and won't start with the side stand down, even when its in neutral.
I've given the side stand switch a clean and checked the connection at the blue connector which seems fine but I'm still not to sure where to look. There is a clicking noise at the box under the left hand side black panel by the seat when I pull the clutch in but that could possibly just be normal?


Any suggestions?


Thanks!

Fazer 1000/FZ1 corner / FZS 1000 Changes
« on: 10 April 2016, 06:59:49 pm »
My first four cyclinder bike was a fzs 600, was an excellent all rounder. After going through a sports bike stage I decided to go back to the fazer roots so I bought my FZS 1000 last year, as per usual I like changing the bike to how I'd like it to look  :rolleyes .


I've seen some spectacular 1000's on here and would love to see some examples of customizing. Here's what I've done to mine





As you can see its pretty much just cosmetic, but now I focusing on renewing the suspension as its showing wear and is quite soft.

Fazer 1000/FZ1 corner / Blue dot rear brake
« on: 03 March 2016, 08:16:24 pm »
Hi,


Doing a bit of maintenance work on the rear caliper. The rear caliper has clearly not seen a good clean in a while and has a fair amount of corrosion. Even the retaining pins were a huge task to remove, one piston was sticking which I've managed to free up with lots of cleaning and greasing. A question I do have is how do I remove the corrosion on the inner part of the pistons, Its most likely only surface rust but I'd rather remove it to stop it worsening.


Thanks!

Fazer 1000/FZ1 corner / neutral light
« on: 29 February 2016, 10:47:32 pm »
Hi,


My neutral light does not come on when my bike is in neutral, it also won't allow me to start the bike with the side stand down even in neutral, it has to be on the centre stand in neutral to start it. Any ideas?

Fazer 1000/FZ1 corner / Belly pan
« on: 07 February 2016, 05:29:37 pm »
Hi,


I'm looking for a bellypan, I know the Yamaha ones are quite rare so wondered if there are any alternatives? I've got a silver scheme which seems to be a difficult colour to get hold of.
I've seen some from emarx, powerbronze etc

Fazer 1000/FZ1 corner / Renthal Bars
« on: 04 February 2016, 08:36:20 am »
Hi,


Ordered some renthals for my FZS 1000, dissembled the stock bars but have one issue, the switchgear which when I removed off the handlebars obviously has a manual choke, completely forgot and it just flew out, I'm having difficulty figuring out how to reassemble it, which sounds basic I know but if anyone has any images etc it would be much appreciated!

Fazer 1000/FZ1 corner / Belly Pan

Hi, trying to find a bellypan for my fzs 1000, I've come across a few on ebay but was wondering what it needs to be fitted ie brackets etc.

Fazer 1000/FZ1 corner / Windscreen bolts
« on: 08 January 2016, 04:40:46 pm »
Trying to change my windscreen over, the bolts just seem to spin, two have come out with ease but the others just spin, they are still holding the windscreen in. Any suggestions

Fazer 1000/FZ1 corner / FZS 1000 cutting out issues
« on: 26 December 2015, 10:08:09 pm »
Hi,


Was riding around London, stopped the bike, went to restart it but nothing....all the lights were on, killswitch was off. Trouble is it wouldnt even turn over. In a moment of annoyance I pushed the side stand up hard and that seems to do the trick, I have a feeling its almost certainly the sidestand switch as it cut out when riding. I checked the fuses and all are fine, how do you check the switch, clean etc.


Mant thanks

Fazer 1000/FZ1 corner / FZS 1000 Ivans
« on: 15 December 2015, 08:34:31 pm »
Hi recently acquired a gen 1 fazer 1000, been great so far but have heard lots of people talking about ivans carb mod. Is it worth the money? I'm by no means a great mechanic so would need someone to fit it. If anyone has fitted the kit and can say about it that would be great, thanks

Fazer 1000/FZ1 corner / Radiator guard screws
« on: 15 November 2015, 08:23:37 am »
Hi,


Recently acquired a fzs 1000, decided to get a nice radiator guard however the stock one which is held in with to bolts at the bottom is being a nightmare to take off. I've tried pretty much everything, greasing them, impacting them, but they still wont budge and just seem to worsen. Any tips to get them off?

FZS600 Fazer / Massive DOH!
« on: 12 June 2014, 01:44:51 pm »
Hello all,


Just rode the fazer round some beautiful bends, when I was stopped I noticed the left hand side of the engine was making a very small "ticking". Getting worried I decided to head back home, to be honest I thought it could be the cam chain, however upon me looking I noticed the HT lead was vibrating abit too much, I then looked and saw the spark plug had become loosened so it had a tiny amount of play in it. I did actually remove that spark plug a few days back but I made sure it was hand tight with a small turn with the spark plug socket, it had no play at all? I'm just waiting for the engine to cool down, then I'll tighten it up and hopefully that ticking will vanish......Massive fail moment  :rolleyes

FZS600 Fazer / Suggestions for radiator cover?
« on: 11 June 2014, 09:31:48 am »
Hi,


I'm after a radiator cover, so far this seems to be the best value one: http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/YAMAHA-FZS-FAZER-600-RADIATOR-GRILL-/231255358482?pt=UK_Motorcycle_Parts_13&hash=item35d7e4bc12
However would you say its worth the extra £20 for the "fazer" version?


Many thanks

FZS600 Fazer / Is it time to change spark plugs?
« on: 09 June 2014, 01:01:34 pm »
Hi Everyone,


I decided to have a look at my spark plugs as I don't think they've ever been changed, they are NGK CR8E and certainly look old, some have a small amount of rust on the bolt side of the spark plug. Is it worth replacing them or just leaving them until they give up? I've had no problems with them just to add.

FZS600 Fazer / FZS 600 Foxeye Lights
« on: 02 June 2014, 07:24:58 pm »
Hi,


I know the fox eye lights are pretty good as standard, however is there a way to give the lights are brighter effect? I was looking at adding some white led's for sidelights, mainly for the look's.


Any ideas on good easy ways to upgrade the lighting?

FZS600 Fazer / Fitting Stainless Downpipes
« on: 21 May 2014, 06:56:29 pm »
Hi Everyone,


I picked up some downpipes and just want to clarify the fitting process as in all honesty I have not replaced downpipes before.
I have checked the exhaust bolts on my fazer and all are fine ie not seized or rusted, they can all be loosened as I have been greasing them prior to removal.
Also I am awaiting a new set of gaskets, is it a simply case of removing the old downpipes, fitting the new gaskets then re fitting the new downpipes (in a nut shell)


Thanks

FZS600 Fazer / Sharpening up the appearance of the Fazer!
« on: 17 May 2014, 09:39:59 pm »
Hi,


I'm looking to sharpen up the bike without going overboard! I have done some minor changes already:


1. Delkevic end can (mainly for sound purposes)
2. Wheel rim tape
3. Higher darkened screen
4. Anodised screen bolts


I have also just picked up some stainless downpipes for £40 from a t reg fazer, I'm hoping they fit my foxeye!
What are people's thoughts on:


1. Stainless radiator cover
2. Smaller indicators
3. Further decals


Any other suggestions to improve the bikes appearance?

FZS600 Fazer / FZS 600 vs Thundercat 600
« on: 14 May 2014, 09:29:58 pm »
Hi,


I'm aware the bikes are very similar but could anyone say the main differences apart from performance, I know the fairings are different but would a thundercat for example leave the fazer standing?
