Signed, hopefully my days of London commuting are long gone but this is unjust and unfair from Hackney.

Fazer 1000/FZ1 corner / Re: Fork it! (Upper fork bushing)
« on: 20 July 2022, 04:22:26 pm »
Just had the same issue on my Gen 1 , i used Allballs fork kit and couldn't get the top bush to seat all the way same as you, so i ordered gen yam stuff , then a set of forks came up on ebay cheap so i brought them , just changed the oil.


once the bike is together i may attempt redoing the ordinal forks or just sell the lot (forks in bits, gen yam seals & top & bottom bushes)


i have also rebuilt many sets of forks over the years but i did admit defeat on these !! :lol :lol

Fitted a new (to me) uncut wiring loom to the Fazer 1000 Wonkey Donkey project, it had an old alarm which I bypassed but still loads of issues, clocked turned off when lights were on, right indicators didn't work etc, spent about 20 hours trying to sort the dodgy loom, took me 2 hours to replace it  :rollin Next job fix the neutral light (which didn't work before i swapped the loom) as it wont turn over unless the side stand is up :rolleyes

I use the Velcro pads in a battery drill for paint prep as it saves on elbow grease, i brought this kit for the brushes to clean car carpets and seats, but found the Velcro flat pads a great for paint prep  :lol

Fazer 1000/FZ1 corner / Re: Batteries - Seriously.
« on: 11 March 2022, 03:49:12 pm »
I use Motobatt on all my bikes, the R1 has had one for 5 years, the LC for a year ,RXS100 2 year (6V so i use a Motobatt charger from Yambits) however my 1st R1 was still going strong after 8 years (Motobatt). i use an optimate charger i got at the bike show in 2001  :eek  and its still going strong, i fit battery leads for charging convenience, i don't leave the bikes on charge i charge them monthly.
The Fazer 1000 came with a dead AGM battery (not Motobatt) but it charged ok and is fine while i work on the bike but when i start using it daily i will get a Motobatt as i have never had an issue with them.


I think Lithium need a certain type of charger but im not sure TBH

So i thought i would have a bash at unseizing the EXUP valve , put the bike on the centre stand and notice the stand is split  :'(  anyway deal with that later, try and remove exup cover, 2 bolts ok 1 rounded , had to snap the cover to get it off, notice the cables are snapped, the pulley just crumbled and the bolt heads are just rust  :'(


So exup not fixed not sure to fit some non exup headers or try and fix this mess and looking at the header stud bolts i think i will try and fix the exup first.


Moved on to trying to fix the occasional working right hand indicators/hazard switch, stripped, cleaned, reassembled and nothing, so new(2nd hand) switch needed.


Did manage to fit two new exhaust clamps on the Micron  :rollin

i use this stuff, wear proper gloves, eye protection, PPE etc if you get it on you it burns, i used it to strip paint off my 250LC as nitromors didn't touch it.

i am doing up a neglected 03 and doing suspension now i got the 08 r6 shock
drilled the top to 12mm got 2mm spacers for the top
found a very helpful guy on ebay that has all dogbone size
if you want standard hight its 130mm i wanted to lower mine so got 134mm so just under 20mm lower


Great info, i think you can get DL650 dogbones at 129mm that fit ( been searching the net), did you drill the top of the shock to 12mm or the frame( im guessing the shock?)

Ask for a cash in lieu settlement , you keep the bike and the insurance pay you a percentage of the repairs, you can then source 2nd hand parts, and as others have said until you're paid out its still your bike.

The RS100 is my actual bike from when i was 17 (54 now) got it back by luck .....well a random convo :short story, scooter got a puncture so had to use the R1 , IT guy at work said he didnt realise i had "proper" bikes as he has a TLR 1000 got chatting about 2 strokes, i said about getting an RS100 , he said he had one rusting away in his garage , turns out it was my old bike  :D

Thank you, the bike is a bit of a mess so im ordering bits now and then in the warmer months give it a gentle resto as its going to be my all year round bike if, need to remove the bullsh!t shine paint job on the motor as nothing was masked up , paint the wheels/ frame, brackets etc, fix the exup and of course the forks and suspension but nothing major.
i know a bit about the suspension but always good to know more and to know i can ask on here as well and the setting up will be fun !!
Normally i would do this over the winter but i have a garage full:
R1
RD250LC
RXS100
RS100
DT50MX
Fazer 1000
and an AJS125 Cadwell i commute on  :rollin
Going to let the RXS and the AJS go soon ............... i think  :evil


Thanks
