Fazer 1000/FZ1 corner / Hard luggage for 2002 Gen1
« on: 30 May 2017, 09:53:17 am »
Im planning for a big two up trip next summer (Ireland) and as a result I need some luggage capacity. I tried soft panniers previously but they are too much effort getting on and off the bike and my wife cant get her feet on the pegs :(


I looked at some Givi systems but they say suitable for 03-05 bikes, mines a 2002.


What have people used? is there a "best buy" set up that will do the trick?  Im thinking top box and side cases.


thanks for any help

Fazer 1000/FZ1 corner / Coolant leak
« on: 27 April 2015, 09:15:33 pm »
Having replaced the chain and sprockets at the weekend I made a school boy error and omitted the cable tie that keeps the hoses out of the chain... Doh..  So now I need to replace the hose that goes into the back of the engine.

Does anyone know the part number? (2002)

Also,can I just top up the coolant through the top of the radiator? Will it flow into the expansion tank to get the level?

Any other good ideas accepted.

Fazer 1000/FZ1 corner / Unexpected warning lights
« on: 29 September 2013, 11:32:40 pm »
I will explain what's happening....


I start the bike with the headlight on (low), then I switch the lights (left handlebar) to main beam, the low fuel, engine temp and oil level lights all come on for a second or two. If I go back to low they immediately extinguish, if I then go back to main again  they don't reappear. Its a one off (but repeated regularly)


If I leave the light on low for a few minutes and then flick to main they may(sometimes) light up again


I'm not sure what this indicates? has anyone else seen this happen?

Introduction / Hello from Warrington

I expect mine is a tale that you hear again and again on this forum.... A fifty year old who has finally given up on sports bikes and bought himself a Fazer. In my case Gen1 FZS1000. I've only had the bike since yesterday and I must say I'm very impressed. Its so much easier to ride than my old R6. I reckon I'm actually faster (from a low base!) and certainly much smoother.


This forum seems to have a huge amount of information and very helpful members (I hope!)
