For Sale & Wanted / For sale : Front brake discs Gen1 1000
« on: 26 April 2018, 11:56:25 am »
I have for sale a pair of front brake discs for a Gen1 1000. Made by Metal Gear, an Australian company, I bought them a few years ago and only used them for about 4-500 miles before I sold the bike. They have been stored in their boxes and are in near new condition, I have taken some pics to give an idea of condition.
They will need thoroughly degrease before use.
£100 including postage in the UK. No offers please.

For Sale & Wanted / Nitron shock and Maxton forks plus goodies.
« on: 29 October 2015, 09:40:12 am »
Sold my Fazer a couple of weeks ago and have quite a bit of stuff to sell, Nitron sport shock and Maxton converted forks both in excellent condition. They are set up for 16 stone (+/- a stone) in full riding gear, really transforms the handling and can be ridden really aggressively , I've done a few track days and the bike was brilliant. Just a few clicks on the adjusters and the bike can be set up for every day commuting, cost me over a grand for both, looking for £500.
Genuine Yamaha exhaust headers (no exup valve) brand new, never been on a bike £150.
Nose fairing, no cracks or bits missing but there are slight scuffs, £50.
Tail unit, as above £30.
Complete airbox, £20.
I've got loads of other parts I haven't gone through yet, email me if your looking for stuff. I'll go through all the stuff early next week and list it .

Fazer 1000/FZ1 corner / Smooth gear change at last!
« on: 28 June 2014, 09:41:34 pm »
I've finally managed to get my gearbox to work smoothly, I was getting really fed up with the stupidly clunky gear change on my bike so decided to have a look inside the clutch to hopefully find out what the problem was. I'd read about the little core plug on the end of the clutch shaft coming out allowing the oil to bypass the clutch plates, but mine was still in situ so that ruled that out. Next I took the clutch plates off, I noticed there wasn't much oil on them with the inner most plates almost bone dry, so much so, the steel friction plates were slightly blued with heat. As standard they are just not getting enough oil, there are little oil holes in the basket that are supposed to allow oil onto the plates but they are not sufficient.
While the plates were off I left them soaking in oil. To improve the oil supply I drilled some additional 4mm holes around the basket between the teeth near the base to get some oil to the driest plates.
I assembled everything and now if I take the oil filler cap off with the engine running I can see oil being flung off the clutch which I couldn't see before.
I went for a run and the difference is amazing, I'd say its 95% better than before. There's still a bit of a clunk going into first from neutral but it's a huge improvement, changing gear up and down is far smoother and now I can get nice slick shifts.
The picture shows a core plug that has popped out of the shaft, if you look at the clutch you can see the oil holes at about the 4 o'clock position. I drilled the additional holes every second tooth, one near the base and one near the middle.
I've only covered about 600 miles so far but the difference is amazing.

Fazer 1000/FZ1 corner / What exhaust??
« on: 14 September 2013, 11:25:37 pm »
I'm thinking of a full exhaust system for my bike but i'm not sure which one. I want one that gives the best midrange power if possible. If you have a full system what are your thoughts as to how it works?

Fazer 1000/FZ1 corner / Ivan's jet kit
« on: 30 August 2013, 09:47:12 am »
I'm in the middle of fitting Ivan's SO jetkit, can anyone clarify exactly what the correct sequence is for the spacers and washers on the carb needles is. My bike is an '04 plate and has 3mm spacers, I've checked the various sites and can't work out the right sequence for my bike. Pat's site seems to contradict what I've read elsewhere.
Cheers
Jim.

For Sale & Wanted / FZS1000 MICRON RACE CANS X3
« on: 19 August 2013, 09:46:16 pm »
Having a clearout, I have 3 Micron end cans for sale. The 2 carbon cans are race only and the chrome can comes with a removable baffle. I only have 2 link pipes, the 3rd one in the pics doesn't fit, they come with a securing band. All are in pretty good nick although the chrome can has a small dink in it. The link pipes on the carbon cans also fit the chrome one.
Collection preferred but i will post if wanted although it'll be about £12.
Can on it's own £50 or £70 with link pipe plus post.
