Fazer 1000/FZ1 corner / 2002 FZS1000 Ignition switch options?
« on: 05 October 2023, 12:28:08 pm »
Yesterday my 2002 came the closest yet to stranding me, in 14 years of ownership, when the ignition switch decided to fall apart on top of a cloud covered mountain. A roadside bodge got me home but the switch has had its day, I've certainly lost confidence in trying to fix it given my 9yo is on the back more often than not.

So I look for a spare. P/N is 5LV-82501-00-00 (2 way + 5 way female connectors), and there seems to be nothing out there unless I want to spill 500 notes out of the wallet  :eek Even ebay has nothing second hand.

So in the absence of OEM, has anyone found an alternative or an aftermarket part that fits the yoke correctly and is as near as dam-it, that the wiring can be modified to make it work as intended. I'm handy with electrical work but would like something that is as neat as possible and does not shout "rat bike" when you look at it.
That said..... any options considered.

Fazer 1000/FZ1 corner / rear shock knackered.... advice please.

Before i start.... yes i've seen the R6 shock threads   :lol

The old shock is no longer up to handling bike with pillion (ground down center stand....oops!)

My issue is every time i ride the weight i put on the bike changes. Top box can be empty, half full or down right overloaded... Then add in optional pillion/ panniers and what i really need is a shock with remote adjusters because i aint about to get on my hands n knees with the spanner every journey?

What are my options? (if any) and what sort of money am i realisticaly looking at?

TIA

Don't "do" much on internet bike forums these days as i'm getting old and already know it all (almost)  ;)

2003 Fazer 1000. Almost standard with 34000 on the clock. An all year rider with lots of commuting, long runs with a local club and the odd Europian tour thrown in for good measure. Had the Fazer a couple of years and it's so good at everything its almost bland in a wierd kind of way. Having come from a Fuel injected BlackBird and more i see of the newer Bikes on offer, i hope the thou stays healthy for a good few years yet 8)

I've been lurking here for a while and look forward to meeting ya'll :)
