Fazer 1000/FZ1 corner / FZS 1000 rear wheel bearing spacer
« on: 08 January 2021, 05:46:20 pm »
I have finally got round to changing the rear wheel bearings - one is fine, the other is shagged. I noticed that the bearing spacer looks f***ed as well - see pics, am presuming that it will need replacing.

Does anyone know if a Gen 2 FZ1 spacer and spindle will fit?
Cheers!

Fazer 1000/FZ1 corner / Recommission the old girl
« on: 23 November 2020, 10:54:44 pm »
Forgive me for I have sinned. I bought an ex demo Tracer GT in Jan this year, after the old girl developed a few problems. Shock knackered, rear wheel bearing shot to bits - plus various other niggly bits and bodywork showing its age.
So she has sat unloved, languishing in the back of the garage. I felt guilty so have bought a Nitro road shock to replace the leaky Hagon, bearings ordered so off we go.
She was running great, 80k on the clock so once MoT'd will use her for the winter to save getting the Tracer too filthy (maybe a bit late as I broke her in at this year's Dragon Rally during storm wassername  :lol ).
The Tracer is a great all round bike, but I do miss that top end rush that the thou gives you.

Could do with new tyres as well, are Michelin Pilot Roads still the favourite for all weather riding? Was thinking about maybe doing the occasional track day  :eek
Cheers!Colin

For Sale & Wanted / Sena SMH10 Bluetooth intercom - boxed as new
« on: 09 April 2017, 08:01:05 pm »
Sena SMH10 Bluetooth intercom for sale. Boxed and as new, only used for 6 months or so. Genuine reason for sale: I bought wired audio custom-made  earplugs at the MCN bike show in Feb, which sadly won't connect wired to the Sena.  :'(

Great piece of kit, never had any probs with it.

£130 posted, can send pics if required.

Many thanks,
Colin

Fazer 1000/FZ1 corner / Fork springs
« on: 03 October 2016, 08:42:12 pm »
In an effort to improve my bike's handling, new fork springs are on the cards.

I have seen Ohlins springs for £115, has anyone fitted them, and if so are they a good bet?

Cheers

Fazer 1000/FZ1 corner / Reliability issues and high mileage
« on: 05 April 2016, 05:08:29 pm »
I have been toying with the idea of buying a new bike cos my fazer has done 65k. I've had it regularly serviced and it still runs well - only possible issue is cam chain a bit rattly so guess the tensioner is wearing out... plus i suspect the suspension needs attention before too long.

Is 65k considered high mileage for a fazer thou and anyone had any reliability issues? I've put 15k on it in 2 years, and that includes a 2,500 mile trip to the Alps and Cote d'Azur without any drama.

Got 5 grand burning a hole in my bank account so am having a bit of a guilt trip!

Fazer 1000/FZ1 corner / Tyres - PR3 or 4?
« on: 15 March 2014, 06:47:07 pm »
Picked up a nail in my rear today so rather than get it repaired (am a bit unsure anyway) so have decided to change the ContiMotion which I'm not keen on for a pair of michelins.

Anyone tried the new PR4s? They're supposed to be longer lasting and better in the wet than the PR3s.

Any suggestions?

Fazer 1000/FZ1 corner / Engine oil - grade and brand?
« on: 10 March 2014, 09:03:00 pm »
Hi all,
Planning a first oil change at the weekend and was wondering what grade and brand is favourite? I've had a couple of thumpers over the last few years and always used Motul 10/40 but not sure if any good for my Fazer thou. Also, fully or semi synth?

Cheers!

Fazer 1000/FZ1 corner / Alternative can to Scorpion?
« on: 24 February 2014, 09:23:07 pm »
Hi all, have been riding my 03 Fazer thou for a week and am finding it a bit difficult to live with the Scorpion can that came with the bike - it's a bit too loud for my liking.

Judging by the photo, there isn't any way of fitting a DB killer as there was on a Scorpion I had on an old DRZ supermoto.

I'm doing a 2k European trip in the summer and would like a can that's a bit less intrusive....any suggestions?

Introduction / First Fazer and hi from Kent
« on: 18 February 2014, 01:20:38 pm »
Hi all,
Just bought my first Fazer and am delighted with it so far. It's a Fazer thou on an 03 plate, although it has high-ish mileage - 52k - it's very, very clean and has been well maintained - all the stamps in the book, a stack of receipts and old MoTs.


It's a do everything bike for me: local commuting, weekend toy and tourer - planning a 2k mile european trip with a few mates in June.


Below are some pics, it needs a wash as it p****d down when I collected it last night. First impressions are very comfy, very quick and stable - much more engaging ride than my last bike, a ZX6R...


Cheers and looking forward to being active on the forum.
