No longer available.

Just wondering if this belonged to anyone on here?
Looks to be a very clean nice example but imho, a bit strong on pricing?

Greetings all,


Had a spare taller seat that i purchased on here a while back. Unfortunately, it was a little too tall. Took it to be reupholstered but when they took the cover off, the foam etc underneath was pretty much rotten / been eaten. It wasn’t cost effective to have them rebuild it from scratch.


Soo…..


Anybody got a slightly taller than standard reworked / comfort type seat that they’d like to part with for sensible money please?


Thought I’d ask here before I go to that auction site to pick up a cheap second hand seat to be recovered.


I’ve tried a gel pad strapped on top of the standard, but don’t like the way that you roll around on it whilst riding and tbh, I didn’t find it much, if any more comfortable. It’s really a little more height that I’m after, to reduce the angle of my knees and hips as I get older.

Greetings all,
Are the Gen1 indicators really different from each other??? Fowlers list a different part number for each indicator unit.
Haven’t got the bike in the garage at the moment so can’t go and compare each of them.
I’m after a new front right indicator, part number

Greetings all,


I’m hoping for a bit of constructive advice from the collective please? I know a few of you have had this dilemma previously and wouldn’t mind hearing your thoughts about how you resolved it and whether, in hind sight, you feel that you made the right choice.


Had my Gen1 (3rd over the years) for about eight years now. Had some of the best mods done, Ohlins front and rear, Full Monty, etc. its been a cracking bike and every time I ride it, I come away feeling it’s such a fantastic allrounder and so versatile.


I’ve been pondering recently over a more modern replacement again. (It’s a biannual cycle 🙄). I tried the MT10 in 2018 and it wasn’t for me, a year and a pro lapsed disc later. [size=78%]Been looking at lots of things, Speed Triple, Street Triple, Speed Twin, XSR900, MT09 but, to be honest, there’s nothing that REALLY floats my boat. Particularly after I’ve looked at the cost to change[/size][/size][size=78%]. I should add that Im lucky enough to also have a BMW Gs12.[/size]
[/size]
Unfortunately, over the years, the ravages of time, all year round use, British climate and my less than perfect cleaning regime, have taken their toll on the Fazer. A couple of years back, I unfortunately dropped it on some black ice over the winter. This left some scuffs and minor cracks on the fairing / nose cone. The worst part by far, is the engine paint.


Sooo.......


I’ve been looking around for a while online at decent condition second hand ones, to see what I would need to pay for a REALLY nice condition one.


Do I:


1. Buy a second Gen1 as above to “Keep for Best”, sunny days out etc OR
2. Spend the money getting mine refurbed / partial restoration.


I can see advantages to both options.


I would keep my current one and continue to use it as a winter / poor weather ride, if it was option one. I wouldn’t get a great deal of money back from it I don’t think, unless I stripped it back to basics and sold on the extras.I could always take it on the odd track day without any great worry if I did end up dropping it again.


Anyone gone down the refurb / resto route, paying to have it done (as I would)? Appreciate any feedback on costs involved if you have?


Any thoughts please from those that have been there and done either option?


Cheers

Greetings all,


I don’t know if it’s anybody on here, but there’s an as new Gen1 belly pan, in I believe, candy blue. Staring price is £50. The only downside is that it’s currently collection only from Chiselhurst, near Orpington in Kent.


Hope it’s of use to someone on here. Here’s the link. It’s nothing to do with me by the way, don’t know the seller, just saw it on the bay.

Please see the below link if you're interested.


Sick of having to climb over bikes to get out of the garage, something has got to give and it isnt going to be the Gen1. 


For a Foccer, I'll leave the touring Scottoiler on it and also throw in a top box as well.


Theres nothing wrong with it, runs sweet. Only thing it will need in the short term would be a new rear tyre. Currently on about 2mm in the centre.


Any interest please message me either here or via EBay BUT please state that you're a Foccer.

Dont know if this one has done the rounds before or not?
If it has, my apologies and please delete the thread.
Just spotted this "interesting" take on a Gen1 Thousand for sale on eBay. Nothing to do with me (thank god).


Marmite indeed.

Greetings all,


Before I go and order a new set of the above, does anyone have a set in good condition that they're not using and might want to get rid of? Must be for the standard 22mm diameter handlebars. As per below links....

Greetings All,


First of all this bike is nothing at all to do with me. Whilst the dealer may be geographically near me in Reading, I have no idea where (at the moment). 


I just thought that all you fellow Gen1 owners / enthusiasts might enjoy having a look at it. Surely this must be the best low mileage Gen1 available anywhere?


Please let us all know if one of you buys it. Enjoy!

Greetings All.


Posting this from holiday at the moment. Ive heard back from the workshop where my Gen 1 is in having I t's near side fork leg looked at again. I've now had the seals changed three times, twice with pattern seals and the last with OEM ones. Sadly, now that the forks have been stripped down, there does appear to be some damage to  the stanchion / slider that wasn't evident previously, hence why they keep blowing.


Turn around for the forks to be sent off to be refinished is apparently six weeks. [size=78%]As I'm booked on a locally organized track day at the beginning of September on the Fazer that doesn't really work for me.(I've already paid for it)[/size]


Soooooo..............


Does anyone have either an excellent condition undamaged complete single left side fork leg available?


Or............


A pair of original fork legs for a Gen1 that are in excellent condition please?


I'd need them posting ideally, so if you do have something, please could you PM me with a price including P&P?


Clearly the track day cost me £120 and I know roughly how much it would cost to have to forks refinished, so if replacements are going to cost me a fortune, then I may just be better off losing the cost of the track day and waiting.


Any ideas about costing would be appreciated though, as I really have no idea what would be a reasonable price for either a single complete leg or a pair.


Gutted. Just had Mike "Full Monty" it and put a new rear tyre on and haven't been able to use it since. 😡

Greetings All,


I have a Sargent seat for a Gen1 for sale. It's in excellent condition and comes with a tool tube fitted on the underside. £80 plus p&p at cost. Or you can collect from near Reading RG8 postcode.
I'll try and attach a couple of photos below, but if, like most of my other attempts to do so, it doesn't work very well, PM me with an email address and I'll send them across to you.

Greetings All,


Ive posted previously about some issues with my Gen 1 Thou cutting out.
To recap, the bike cuts out after running it for a couple of miles, no spluttering / coughing etc, it literally just dies on the spot!
It will then turn over fine but apparently no spark because it won't fire up. Give it a minute or two and try again………….it then fires up no problem, runs fine and off you head down the road, only for it to repeat the procedure about half a mile further on.
I have managed to replicate this in the garage on the ramp, merely by running the bike at a fast idle. After a while, it then just dies as before.
Electrics not being my thing, I therefore sent the bike off to a respected factory trained mechanic who has spent some time looking at it.
He has been through the bike and has deduced that it can't be a loose / faulty wire in the ignition circuit, because it has done it in the workshop at a standstill and in that sterile environment would fail and stay failed, not correct itself a few minutes later, as it also does at the roadside.
He's been through the fault code readings and can't find anything showing a fault on these.
The only thing that he has noticed is that at the front right corner of the cdi box, to the right of where the block connector goes in, this is very hot to the touch, whereas the rest of the unit is coolish.
Would any of you guys have experienced this with your Gen 1's? Would some of you mind checking yours please, when the bike is hot and feeding back to me as to whether or not you have significant heat on your cdi boxes in any particular places?
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Just costed up a new Cdi box from Fowlers…………….£459-80 PLUS VAT. 
Clearly thats not something that I can afford to splash out on, just on the off chance that it might be this causing the issue.
If, with some feedback, I can establish with more certainty if this is the problem, then I can decide whether to buy a new one, try and source a secondhand one, or just break the bike.


Thanks in advance for any help / advice.
