Welcome, sense of humour which you will need with all these daft Foccers and the fastest colour slowed down by the black fairing   :lol

Welcome, but be careful what you believe because as can be seen above there are a few delusional or maybe senile people that frequent these pages.
Oh ye nice looking bike.

because we all know that blue is the fastest ;)
welcome

We told you there were delusional Foccers here, because we all know that blue is the slowest.  :lol :lol :lol

Welcome, some Foccers here who think other colours are fast and they are correct, it is just that the red ones are faster. :lol

Never heard of a bike cocking out before, must be owned by a dickhead  :lol

Mostly likely dirty pilot jets from the fuel being left in the bowls evaporating over the winter. Drain the float bowls as a first option. If this does not resolve it you may need to remove the carburettors and clean the pilot jets and float bowls.

Most likely blanking plugs for the water jacket in the cylinder head. Some times holes are drilled to complete water channels and oil ways which could not be fully created when casting and these blanking plugs are then used to seal the holes. Similar to the two oil way blanking plugs on the bottom of the crankcase under the Alternator on the left and directly opposite on the right.

I usually put axle stands under the Crash bungs on the 1000 and the engine bars on the 600. Raises the front safely as I do not like putting all the weight through the Down pipes.

Remember, always put the rear paddock stand in placed first on bikes without a centre stand before lifting the front with the front paddock stand.
Be aware that some of the cheaper front paddock stands will not lift the front of the Fazers high enough to allow the wheel to clear the fender. :eek
I have on occasion had to use 2 pieces of wood about 1 inch thick, 6 inches wide and 12 inches long under both sides of the stand before lifting, it was just less hassle than taking off the fender :rolleyes

If the rear paddock stand is not in place, when you remove the front axel the bike will become highly unstable  :'(

Front number plate on the way

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

From MAG UK

HELMET NUMBER PLATES INTRODUCED
UK motorcyclists will need to display a front number plate from next month onwards, under new laws passed by the British Government last night. Motorcyclists will need to apply to the DVLA by 30 April and purchase an envelope-sized sticker (at a cost of £19.95) – which they will need to attach to the front of their helmets. The UK’s top traffic cop, Thames Valley Police Commissioner Anthony Stansfeld , said bikers have been getting away with speeding offences for far too long, claiming that 61 percent of bikers caught speeding by traffic control and speed cameras escaped a fine because of the lack of front number plates.

Took my late daughter in laws sister who is with us for her first anniversary to visit the birth place of Henry Fords Grand Father " Any colour you like as long as its black" and then to see the famous Drombeg stone circle which is dated around 1000BC and the still intact Fulacht Fiadh (Cooking Pit)

Forget option 3 to easy to break the "easy out" because of the small size required. If that happens it is a real pain in the ass to get it out.

Does the chain need to be kept tightly tied, or just so it doesn't fall? The cams are aligned at tdc, so should be ok.

Thanks for detailed write up. Should drilling like that be successful or just if lucky? What about front cam guide, how do I remove that?

Just so it does not fall, but if it does it is not a huge problem as it can be picked out with a piece of bent stiff or Flexible Claw Pick Up Tool.

It has worked for me 9 out of 10 times and any time it did not there was exceptionally bad corrosion. The reason for leaving a few mm is get a grip with a vise grip to try unscrewing if the 4 mm bit does not twist it out. Most important thing is not to break the bit, so use good quality sharp ones bits. They may need to be ordered specially by your local engineering shop. The problem with using normal bits is that it is inclined to tighten the stud more.

Front cam guide does not need to be removed, but it just lifts out as it is only located in slots and the cam cover holds it in place

Removing the stud
Grind the stud flat within a few mm to the head, put a good deep punch mark dead centre and use a lefthand drill bit to drill it out. I have found that this method often spins the stud out. Start carefully with a 3 or 4 mm bit and work up. I usual use a 3mm bit to start, but they are easy to break if not extremely careful. If unsure start with a 4mm.

Removing the cams.
More of a fiddly than difficult job to do.  :) Take your time and make sure you have access to a good quality torque wrench when putting it back together as cam caps bolts only require 10Nm torque.
Remove the Alternator cover and line up the marks (T mark with the crankcase mating point at the front) Cam marks should line up exactly or within a few mm. If they are not within a few mm of the marks, it indicates chain wear and might be worth considering changing the chain.  Post a picture of the cam marks looking down straight as it is difficult to judge from the picture you have up.
Remove the Tensioner cap bolt.
Remove the cam Chain tensioner
Remove the cam chain guide.
Now the inlet cam first.
Loosen all the cam cap bolts a little first in a crisscross pattern, both sides should be treated as one whole piece.
Now loosen bolts evenly to about 1.5mm above the cam caps.
Cam caps may be stuck in place due to the tight tolerances of the dowels.
If cam caps do not move tap them gently. They might pop up with a crack and scare the crap out of you. :lol
Keep unscrewing all 11 bolts (Guide bolt is already removed) evenly a little at the time until they are all loose enough to be removed and there is no pressure on the cam caps,
Remove the cam caps and the 6 dowels. Try not to drop the bolts or dowels down the chain tunnel. :'(
The cam caps must go back on the exact same place and way they were removed.
Lift up the cam and roll it towards the front of the engine, lift off the chain and tie it up.  The cam must also go back in the same position.

Now do the exhaust cam.

You will just have to trade it for the real Fazer. You know, the one with the carburettors and real seat. :lol

Pushed back the rubber boots on the Coil end of the Plug caps and coated the area with Vaseline.
That will stop the water getting in and causing the rough running. :)
Replaced my worn clutch lever, clutch back to normal feel again. :D
Difficult to see the hole wear in the picture, but the difference is always amazing
