FZS600 Fazer / Re: pulling away issue on mk1 fazer
« on: 02 September 2016, 12:22:25 pm »
Power is good. If I slow to almost tick over and pull away again it's the same issue as pulling away from standing start. Less noticable as the bike Has momentum.
Not a clutch issue I'm sure.
Everything's operating smooth and clean other than that specific rev range.
You only really notice it in first as there is no momentum to the bike so a drop in revs almost stalls the bike. Once moving it is still there but only just noticeable if your looking for it and that low in the revs.
Plug caps are OE as far as I know

The tickover is smooth as a babys bottom.
Rev out of gear and it lifts clean and drops back to tickover fast and smooth.
Once pulled away it rides like a dream. One of the best Fazer 600 engines I have heard.
Its just that initial pull away or even once hot and waiting at lights etc same issue.

Adjusted throttle cables, no change
Lubbed cables and linkages.
Tried a 2k tick over, but just the same. Now back to 1.5k I know manual says 1.4 but felt better.

Ran some Red x stuff through before but might do another bottle before giving in and trying a garage.

FZS600 Fazer / pulling away issue on mk1 fazer

Frustrated!
Fazer 600 with an issue pulling away.
As you pull off the revs rise smoothly to approx 2500 - 3000 then drop like a stone to 500 then slip clutch to stop stall and she pulls fine. Bike rides like a dream. Tps set per manual. Carbs ballanced. Full service with plugs gapped. Clean air filter (KnN), oil and filter changed.

Bike was stood for a while so I'm now thinking gunked up pilot yet? Seems to be about where it swaps from pilot to main I think.

The carb balance did make it better, it's less agressive when it happens but it's still there.
Grrr

For Sale & Wanted / Nitron rear shock for fzs 1000 sold stc
« on: 14 May 2016, 09:48:42 pm »
Now up on eBay.
Nitron race shock. High and low speed compression damping, rebound damping, preload and hight adjustment.
All works as it should and serviced every 2 years.
Stunning but of kit, set for 21 stone rider for track and fast road use. If your under 14 stone in kit will likely need a softer spring.


£320 ono on eBay

I don't know but I'm fairly sure the gen1 shock didn't fit later ones. Some one will have tried it and know I'm sure.

Fazer 1000/FZ1 corner / Nitron rear shock
« on: 08 May 2016, 10:41:08 am »
Now that sadly the Fazer is sold I have the nitron shock but not sure on 2nd hand prices for shocks. Its the full race spec nitron with full high and low speed adjustment on damping and rebound. Aprox £700 New
Was serviced last spring by nitron.
Set up for a 20 Stone rider fast road use but can slacker the preload off to probably 15 stone. Might be a bit stiff for any lower than that without a respring.
Great condition. Will take pics later
I just have no idea on what they go for 2nd hand.
Am I far off the mark at £300 on eBay?

Also have 3 screens I will take pics later.
1 short street fighter look
Think 1 original and 1 flip

For Sale & Wanted / Re: 2004 Fazer 1000. still for sale

The hiding info and bent frame remarks were made in a different post and I don't like to pollute other people's posts unless I'm doing it for their benefit.
The edit was title changed from sold to still for sale, also making clearer the actual damage caused i.e. mudguard replaced and the 2nd edit was lowering price to match the New eBay buy now.
I haven't forced anyone to purchase the bike and the buyer that pulled out hasn't been slagged off, he pulled out because I didn't place in the add it was a cat bike. In all honesty as I wrote the eBay add it didn't even cross my mind that it was a cat bike. It happened years ago and hasn't been an issue. But the seller was shown the scratch and told how it happened.
He then offered to continue the sale at a much reduced price. A lower price than I am willing to accept. Hence the seller low balling the price.

The price hike on insurance is because of a claim not the bike. My van and other bike insurance also went up due to that no fault claim and my old van getting written off while parked up at my house.
Doesn't matter if you keep your no claims bonus (i did in both cases) you have to declare a claim in the last 5 years with most company's even if it was in another class of vehicle or truck v bike.

The issue with the insurance company was simply because I had a full claim so the policy ended. At the time I thought it was they wouldn't insure that bike. And was kinda pissed at that. What it actually was is they wouldn't let that policy continue for the rest of that year.

I'm not sure why people feel the need to find fault and try to tear down a sale when they are not even interested in it.

All the details of the "crash" are on the site including photos of the damage if I remember. Bike stationary and car tapped the mudguard at under 5mph. Just enough to make me lose balance and drop it.

If you think for a fleeting moment that it damaged the frame from that your nuts.
This bike has been on this site since shortly after I got it. Nothing is being hidden or lied about.
4Th cat bike I have owned and never had trouble with insurance with any company I have used . and yes it's always been declared same as most of the mods.

Bennits said they pay 80% on cat bikes in the event of a full claim and 100% on partial claims. So not sure where you get 40% from

But more importantly, I'm not asking you to buy it or even forcing you to pay 2000 for it. So rather than try to screw with a sale your not interested in maybe you should keep your opinion about my sale to your self rather than imply I'm a liar.

I'm that we clearly disagree. 2600 - 2700 would be about right on a 2004 with these mods. So 600 off that as cat c I fell is about right. Hence 2250 aiming for 2k.

Bike was a cosmetic write off about 4 years ago. Front mudguard was damaged and a scuff mark on left fairing and mirror.
Mudguard at the time was a carbon fiber one so the original was placed back on and the scuff mark covered with touch up pen.

For some reason this is showing on hpi as C and I'm trying to find original emails from insurance as they said cosmetic so should be D. Not that it make any actual difference in the use of the bike. But C seems to put people off and D less so. So would be nice if I got them to correct the mistake on hpi (day chance though after 4 years)

There is mention of it here but wasn't in the eBay ad. Hence buyer then trying to low ball price.
Bike is already adjusted in price for the accident and he felt his bid was to much. His choice and his loss.

Bike is 2250 ono
Any questions feel free to ask

« on: 21 April 2016, 05:34:01 pm »
Won't use anything but motobatt unless I'm desperate. Sparadic use all year round on the Fazer 1000 used to mean a new yusa or rob H each spring. Motobatt on 4 years and strong. Seems to hold charge in cold better than most I have tried.
Fitted to the VTR cbr900r zx6r and will be fitted to the ZX9R when I replace it. Not one ever have me a problem. Even the cbr reg/rec fault didn't screw it up .
Highly recommend.

Fazer 1000/FZ1 corner / years of wheelies finally caught up with me
« on: 08 April 2016, 10:01:22 pm »
We all know the Fazer likes to lift it's front a little from time to time ;-)
Well I noticed a slight knocking feeling from the front when dabbing the front brake on and off a few times quickly.couldn't get it to do it on centre stand and smooth movement left and right.
So to be safe I dropped it to a friend with a mot rolling road thing.

Yup you could feel the bottom of the stock move a little each time the brake was applied.

Booked in for next week as I hate the idea of doing them lol

Now bearings seem to be about £25 a set including seal. Tappered all balls or koyo
Local spanner said £65 for the job. Supply and fit

So is this an hours job?  I figured it was bigger than that. Not complaining but that seemed very reasonable?

Make sure you have a test on a fz1 as it's a lot different to the fzs.
