Fazer 1000/FZ1 corner / 2005 Fazer Thou Ignition Barrel - What else will fit?
« on: 13 March 2024, 05:44:17 pm »
My ignition barrel is pretty shot and I've put an wanted topic in For Sale and Wanted.


Are there any other barrels that will fit? I've got R1 forks on my bike. The ignition lock only works when the steering is dead ahead. Does that mean an R1 lock might fit?

For Sale & Wanted / WANTED - 2005 Thou Ignition Barrel
« on: 13 March 2024, 05:07:58 pm »
My key is finding it harder and harder to switch on my ignition. I have tried lubrication with a drop of chain lube but its not made much difference. The key works fine in the fuel cap and seat lock. I think it is just worn out, the bike has done 119k miles.


Does anybody have a spare they are willing to sell? I accept keys wont match but that is not the end of the world, I'd sooner have a reliable bike.


Many thanks

Fazer 1000/FZ1 corner / Misted Headlight Lens
« on: 24 May 2023, 06:18:26 pm »
One of my headlight lenses is getting misted up. Does anybody have a sensible cure for this please?


The bike is kept in a warm garage but nonetheless, it should not be misting up in this weather!


Thanks

Fazer 1000/FZ1 corner / Gen 1 LED Headlights
« on: 19 February 2023, 04:52:43 pm »
I’ve had LED headlights on the bike for about 5 years. They have been great. Unfortunately one of the bulbs have blown in dipped mode. I have tried to find a bulb with similar plugs but have hit a wall. The bulb connects to a black box via a four pin plug. There is a locking strap around the outside of the plug to lock the two parts together. Has anybody seen this type of connection?  They are 4000LM.


Alternatively, had anybody fitted LED lights and were happy with the install and they’ve not had any issues?  I’ll probably end up buying a new pair so any information would be greatly received.

For Sale & Wanted / Wanted - Off Side Yamaha Crash Bung
« on: 31 October 2022, 01:16:24 pm »
I came out of work the other day and found my Gen 1 laying on its side  :'(


A few bent and cracked pieces which I have mostly now found.


I need an offside crash bung, the one with the blue metal support that holds the nylon bung. The blue support has 'bent' but luckily the bike frame is still fine.


Does anybody have one they are willing to sell?


Thanks

Fazer 1000/FZ1 corner / Fuel Gauge Issues
« on: 09 January 2022, 11:58:46 am »
I have recently refitted my fuel tank. I have a TFT dash and it was showing 2 bars when I removed and when I refitted. I've just filled up and the gauge is still showing the same reading. I've tried shorting out the plug from the loom but the gauge shows the same. Maybe I didn't leave is long enough?


Am I right in thinking that by shoring out the plug in the loom under the left cover the gauge should be showing full?


Is there a separate fuse for the fuel gauge?


Are there any connections or joins between the plug under the left hand cover and the plug that connects the TFT?


Thanks

Fazer 1000/FZ1 corner / Water Leak
« on: 29 October 2021, 05:28:52 pm »
I have a very small water leak on my Gen1. The leak shows on the seam of the engine casing below the carburettors on the left hand side.  It is not obvious where it is leaking from. Has anybody else had this issue?

Fazer 1000/FZ1 corner / New E10 and E5 fuel

Does anybody have any concerns with using the new fuels? I understand the Fazer Gen 1 will run on E10?

For Sale & Wanted / For Sale - R6 Forks to fit Gen 1
« on: 15 December 2020, 05:39:00 pm »
I have a pair of forks which were off the second version of the R6 (2003-2005 5SL model) although it gained bling gold USD forks in 2005.  They were on my Gen 1 for about 9 months until I upgraded to R1 units. They certainly perform better than standard forks. One of the forks has a leaking oil seal so you'd be looking at Right-Way-Up fork seals for the 5SL model made during 2003-2004. These are about £25 per pair. There are some marks on the chrome tubes where they have been clamped in the headstock. I think they are worth £150 plus postage. Anybody interested?

Fazer 1000/FZ1 corner / Forks Leaking
« on: 28 November 2020, 11:17:49 am »
I have leaking forks between the slider and the aluminium lower section. I have bought some new oil seals, dust covers and lower bushes. My dealer tells me the upper bushes hardly ever wear out. This will save me £28 plus postage.
What do the experts think on here? The bike has done 30k miles
Thanks

Fazer 1000/FZ1 corner / Forks Leaking
« on: 06 May 2020, 05:26:39 pm »

I noticed today that one of the forks on my 05 Gen1 is leaking from the seal at the top of the leg. The bike has covered £32k miles. It would make sense to me to change the seals on both legs. Obviously change the oil. Is there anything else I need to change/check at the same time?


Where is the best place to buy the new parts?
What is the best grade oil to buy and how much do I need?


Thanks

Fazer 1000/FZ1 corner / Rain Issues
« on: 06 March 2020, 02:08:22 pm »
The engine in my Gen 1misses quite a lot when its raining hard. I think I need to cut the HT leads down and make a new joint. Am I right I need to unscrew the lead from the cap. cut 5mm or so off and refix

I don't think it can be much else, if I spray with WD45 before I leave the bike behaves much better.

Thanks

One of the headlights on my Gen 1 is badly misted. Presumably moisture getting in somewhere.


Has anybody else had this problem and how did they resolve it please?

Fazer 1000/FZ1 corner / Oil Leak
« on: 09 November 2019, 04:54:48 pm »

I have an oil leak that seems to be coming from the area around the bottom of the casing that has the gear change spindle coming through it. If it's the gasket that has blown then I presume I can do this with the engine in-situ? Why would this gasket blow for no obvious reason?


Is there anything else in this area that could cause an oil leak? I notice two oil feed pipes just below the cover. The oil leak seems to be above these pipes but is it worth removing these at the same time and changing the O rings on the ends (if they have O rings to seal)?


The leak is serious enough that I cant use the bike until the leak is resolved, any suggestions would be much appreciated.


Thanks

Fazer 1000/FZ1 corner / Chain & Sprocket Replacement
« on: 03 August 2019, 11:50:26 am »

It's time I replaced my chain and sprockets. I would like to stick to standard gearing and a rubber absorbed front sprocket.


What is the best way to achieve this, buy each component separately or buy a kit? O ring or X ring? Comments please.

Fazer 1000/FZ1 corner / Air Box Connection to AIS
« on: 17 May 2019, 09:25:12 am »
Does anybody have a spare cap for the large spigot on the air box that connects to the AIS or maybe suggest something I can use to seal it?

I have looked at all of our bottle caps but nothing fits.

As a last resort I will turn the rubber hose back on itself and secure with a cable tie but it is a bodge and not what I like to do.

Thanks

Fazer 1000/FZ1 corner / LED Side light Bulbs
« on: 30 March 2019, 07:22:06 pm »

I want to change my side light bulbs to LED. I think they are 501? I've seen some for sale but they are non canbus and might need a resistor to stop flickering?


Can anybody direct me to a web site with the correct bulbs that don't flicker and are not an arm and a leg!!


Thanks

Fazer 1000/FZ1 corner / Wheel Balance Weight Glue

Can anybody suggest a way to remove the sticky tape that holds the wheel balance weights on?

Fazer 1000/FZ1 corner / TPO - AIS Removal Kit
« on: 17 March 2019, 08:27:43 pm »

I've got one of these kits. You have to remove the stubs in the head just above the exhaust manifold. Has anybody ever removed these stubs and if you have how did you do it and how hard was it?


I know I can put some bolts in and I know I can buy the caps but I want to investigate this first.
Anybody help please?

Fazer 1000/FZ1 corner / R1 Front End Bodywork Issues
« on: 14 February 2019, 06:14:50 am »
I am in the process of fitting an R1 front end and the bottom yoke plate(?) which holds the lower clamps is touching the edge of the fairing. Is this usual and di you just grind away a little of the fairing? It is out of the way and can't be seen. Thanks
