Fazer 1000/FZ1 corner / Fazer 1000 ... Rattling brake pads
« on: 22 August 2023, 12:43:15 am »
Hi Peeps.


Seems Yamaha can't or won't fix this issue that plagues many models old & new.


I've found the machining clearances within Blue Spot calipers to be excessive, allowing cold pad chatter, no improvement under thermal expansion as the pad to caliper tolerances are way to large, under riding condition the pads clatter around within the caliper giving a loud click upon brake application as the front pads rotate around the single pad pin & smash into the caliper, this excessive tolerance can also cause a noticeable brake judder, this gets even worse with age & use as the caliper wears.
Rear calipers also suffer from pad rattle, but to a lesser degree.


After some trial & error & testing various ideas, I've found a permanent cure.
It's a simple solution to a PITA rattle that can plague just about any bike caliper.
It involves fabrication of 4 front shims, it's not too difficult a job, just a bit time consuming.
Pad edges need a bit of fettling to square them up.


Parts required:
0.5mm stainless sheet.
Scriber or sharp pick tool.
Quality aviation style tin snips or a plasma cutter.
Selections of files.
Vernier.
Centre punch & hammer.
Drill / drill bits.
Sanding block.
400 grit wet n dry paper.
Vice.
Lots of patience.
Stool, it's a long winded job & your back will thank you for it.

Pics show end result of shims & modified rattle springs which can be a proper mare to install, 2 pad pins make it a simpler process, strong thumbs help no end. :thumbup

Fazer 1000/FZ1 corner / Experiences using a 4 degree advance rotor
« on: 03 May 2023, 09:52:39 am »
Hi Peeps.


Anyone using a 4 degree advance rotor on a 1000?
Just tried one on mine yesterday & the old girl has a tad more grunt in the lower rpm range, but not impressed in general.
It's ruined the buttery smooth bottom end & turned the motor into a jerkomatic below 3,000rpm.
Reckon i'll refit the OEM rotor later, just need to make a new gasket up.

Is it just me,or has this been addressed in the past?
I don't see why there's no tab to mark a sales add as Sold.
Sale adds stay on for mths on end, even if marked as sold buy the seller.


Surely this is an easy fix for some computermabob wizard to add in a "Delete or Sold" tab, this would instantly free up space on the site. :rolleyes

Fazer 1000/FZ1 corner / Noisy fork springs
« on: 14 August 2022, 08:56:01 pm »
Hi peeps.


Anyone having noisy forks after a full strip & rebuild, all K-tech parts used, so should be ok for a good few miles.
Top bushes were a proper mare to fit, had to re-gap em to get em in.


Issue I'm having now is scraping noise on compression of forks, springs rubbing inside of stanchions.


Does anyone know of any stepped top hat bushes available to replace the washers on spring tops, this would keep the spring central & eliminate metal to metal contact of spring & stanchion.

Fazer 1000/FZ1 corner / Fixed it *** Gen 1 (wobbly loose seat)
« on: 14 August 2022, 08:20:51 pm »
Hi Peeps


Just been steadily rebuilding my Fazer 1000 (full refurb)


Road test time tuther day Oh yes, giddy heads on. :lol


Clicked seat in place & low & behold the feckers flopping about like crazy loose. :'(
All rubber buffers in place, all measure same depth so can't have fitted any in wrong position.
Nothing obviously wrong with the locking mechanism (or so I thought).


Took it out, close examination, nope can't see feck all wrong with it, refitted it & packed it away from frame rail with a couple of stainless washers, clicked seat in expecting wobble to be much improved, not a feckin chance, in fact it was just as bad.
Took the latch out again, another close inspection with specs on this time.
Nope, can't see owt wrong causing this massive wobble issue.
Downed tools, it's tea time.


Back in garage after tea, bit of head scratching, latch out again ... WTF is up with this bastard?


Made another buffer pad to fit the plastic locating peg next to the latch, still no improvement.


By this time, I'm getting a bit pissed off, as obviously itching to get out for a shake down road test after the rebuild.


Downed tools, fuck it, back in house, light bulb moment "PING" I'd fitted the chromed plate on top of frame rail to use as a washer plate.
When in fact it fits under the frame rail to retain the latch sliding keeper from slapping up & down, hence my floppy seat.


Lesson learned, even a Master Tech of 40 plus yrs can't always see the wood for the trees ... DOH !!!  :lol

Anyone know of a trusted powder coating in Yorkshire area, S/Yorks preferably that can do a proper bare metal strip & powder coat bike wheels.


Just had a wheel fucked up by a so called wheel specialist in Gainsborough (PB Powder Coatings / Gainsborough).
Avoid these muppets at all costs, only used them based on good reviews, just goes to show reviews count for nowt.

General / Warning ** Wezmoto shop**
« on: 06 August 2022, 11:02:54 am »
Hi-de-hi.


Bit of a warning about the tossers trading as Wezmoto.
Purchased a set of braided hoses for my Gen1 refurb that's been in progress for the last year or so, she's nearly done Hooray.


Yes it's been a while since purchase, only opened up pack yesterday, hence a bit shocked in what I found, the Stainless banjo's drillings are full of swarf, spent a good while cleaning em out with a small drill bit & a good flush out with brake cleaner.


Checked hoses & OMG!

These clowns have made me up a set with crimped in banjo's & basically fucked em up, banjo's crimped in wrong position with wrong ends fitted.
Messaged em via Ebay explaining their error.
Shop Reply:Stick hose in vice & force crimped banjo into a better position.
My reply: Are u having a laugh, they're made wrong by you!
Shop reply: We'll only accept a return if within 30 days of purchase.


Basically front hoses are scrap, rear is ok & fits as it should.
If anyone needs a Brand new Braided (Black) rear hose with stainless fittings, I have 1 for sale £15 posted.


Hope this post helps anyone else having the same issue.


Personally I'll never use these tossers again, your money, your choice.

If anyone's interested, this site does some good quality & polished Titanium parts.
You can buy direct on the link below or buy via eBay shop.
These aren't necessarily the cheapest, but from personal experience, they're better than some I've bought in the past, just bought a set of front disc rotor mounting bolts for my Gen1 1000.  :thumbup


No idea why link has shrunk to Antman dimensions? maybe admin can jump in & correct it's size, but it still works as intended.
