Liking the decals on the bike, did you make those yourself as I've been after a similar set

Hi,
I've fitted renthal 758's to my fazer which are brilliant, however I saw a fazer with the 658's which looked brilliant, I know they bring you forward slightly more but other than this are there any major issues when comparing the two?
thanks

Hi,
Not too long ago I went for the bar end mirror look which I felt went really well with the bike, I used r1 mirror blanks and sprayed them silver to match the bike. Annoyingly as I have renthal bars fitted and this caused issues as I struggled securing the bar mirrors on correctly, I also found that the mirrors made the bike wider which caused problems with filtering. I did revert it back to standard mirrors but just don't seem to like the look of the "bug" shaped mirrors, are there any alternatives?
thanks

Hi, I purchased a , YTX14-BS Powerline Motorcycle Battery 12V 14Ah to replace the knackered battery in the fzs 1000. Got it this morning but its just slightly too big to fit in the bike. Its slightly bigger than the 12-BS it had fitted so its just out and wont budge. As it was listed for a fzs 1000 and some people have fitted them to there fazers its baffling as to why its too big, stupid mistake I guess! Anyone on here have one fitted?

If you can that would be great, on a note: this replaces the bellypan?

Would be very interested as I own a silver 2004 bike, problem may be the distance as I'm in Surrey.

Went out for a ride today, bike started and ran fine. I pulled over to have a quick stop but when I went to restart the bike, it just clicked on the starter button ie not enough power to turn the bike over. No terminals were loose on the battery and it ended up with me having to bump it down the road  Once I got home, I got the multimeter out and got a reading of 11v on the battery which was the same when the bike was running  . Would this indicate a dodgy battery as it does look dated (only acquired the bike recently). I will add that when the bike was sat for a while, I would trickle charge the battery to full charge but if it was left for a few days it would do the same (clicking) when I went to start the bike, so I'm thinking the battery has had it? Thanks!

Hi, my neutral light does not come up on the dash. The bike only starts when its on the centre stand and won't start with the side stand down, even when its in neutral.
I've given the side stand switch a clean and checked the connection at the blue connector which seems fine but I'm still not to sure where to look. There is a clicking noise at the box under the left hand side black panel by the seat when I pull the clutch in but that could possibly just be normal?
Any suggestions?
Thanks!

I'm after a rear hugger for my thou, while I'm here does anyone have any bits they are selling for a fzs 1000?

Thanks, I am going to fit some braided lines for sure. Also the bellypan is OEM, actually got it off this forum

My first four cyclinder bike was a fzs 600, was an excellent all rounder. After going through a sports bike stage I decided to go back to the fazer roots so I bought my FZS 1000 last year, as per usual I like changing the bike to how I'd like it to look . I've seen some spectacular 1000's on here and would love to see some examples of customizing. Here's what I've done to mine  As you can see its pretty much just cosmetic, but now I focusing on renewing the suspension as its showing wear and is quite soft.

Yeah would agree with the above, it's more down to if you want to say a few lb/kg which is normally under racing conditions. Its alot of money for a little bit of weight saving

Hi,
Doing a bit of maintenance work on the rear caliper. The rear caliper has clearly not seen a good clean in a while and has a fair amount of corrosion. Even the retaining pins were a huge task to remove, one piston was sticking which I've managed to free up with lots of cleaning and greasing. A question I do have is how do I remove the corrosion on the inner part of the pistons, Its most likely only surface rust but I'd rather remove it to stop it worsening.
Thanks!

Hi,
My neutral light does not come on when my bike is in neutral, it also won't allow me to start the bike with the side stand down even in neutral, it has to be on the centre stand in neutral to start it. Any ideas?

Hi,
I'm looking for a bellypan, I know the Yamaha ones are quite rare so wondered if there are any alternatives? I've got a silver scheme which seems to be a difficult colour to get hold of.
I've seen some from emarx, powerbronze etc

Hi,
Ordered some renthals for my FZS 1000, dissembled the stock bars but have one issue, the switchgear which when I removed off the handlebars obviously has a manual choke, completely forgot and it just flew out, I'm having difficulty figuring out how to reassemble it, which sounds basic I know but if anyone has any images etc it would be much appreciated!

Hi, trying to find a bellypan for my fzs 1000, I've come across a few on ebay but was wondering what it needs to be fitted ie brackets etc.

Thanks for the reply, under the rubber it appears its round metal ie no bolts. I've tried holding them in place while turning the bolt but it just spins the same

Trying to change my windscreen over, the bolts just seem to spin, two have come out with ease but the others just spin, they are still holding the windscreen in. Any suggestions

Hi,
Was riding around London, stopped the bike, went to restart it but nothing....all the lights were on, killswitch was off. Trouble is it wouldnt even turn over. In a moment of annoyance I pushed the side stand up hard and that seems to do the trick, I have a feeling its almost certainly the sidestand switch as it cut out when riding. I checked the fuses and all are fine, how do you check the switch, clean etc.
Mant thanks

Hi recently acquired a gen 1 fazer 1000, been great so far but have heard lots of people talking about ivans carb mod. Is it worth the money? I'm by no means a great mechanic so would need someone to fit it. If anyone has fitted the kit and can say about it that would be great, thanks
