Hi bud,  I'm thinking about selling my FZ1N.  8k or so on the clock.  2007 bike.  Needs an MOT and service before I put it up.  It comes with a tail cowl (plus standard rear seat), aftermarket can and body coloured radiator guard thingies (both unfitted).  I'm based just outside Edinburgh.

Fazer 1000/FZ1 corner / Re: All Good Things ...

I don't post on here often, but I'd like to offer my sincere thanks for your Scottish trip last year.  I ended up selling the Fazer to another forum member recently after my father in law made an offer to buy his FZ1 I couldn't refuse (having barely ridden it since the Ivanising  :rolleyes ). It was a pleasure meeting you, best wishes to you and your family for the future.

replied chap - I know the weather sucks - I'm not going up for the FZ1 until it's a bit better than it is just now - don't fancy bouncing up the A9 again!

well. I'm not exactly being proactive about the sale except on here, so you never know, it might still be around when Venus and Uranus make contact  :lol

Due to my father in law making an offer for me to buy his FZ1 that I can't refuse, I am now selling my fazer 1000.  It runs well, but cosmetically isn't prefect.  Crack and small hole in the right hand side inner fairing inserts, scrape to right hand fairing and headlight and very small chip in the tank paint where the previous owner dropped it. Left hand crank case discoloured from small fuel spillage during carb removal for Ivanising. (should be visible in the photos).  There is also no cover over the exup valve bolts - all works fine though as Mike found no issues with it's function when Ivanising.


Specs:
40k on clock
flip up brake and clutch levers
full monty Ivans kit fitted by Mike in August
aftermarket can (obviously) - standard will also come with the bike
aftermarket rack (standard grab handles will also come with the bike)
clutch friction plates and springs just replaced with EBC heavy duty items (oil and filter done at the same time)
valves done at 28k
rear tyre has only done a couple of hundred miles max
will be MOT'd prior to sale

Was thinking of £1600 for anyone on here (will be advertising for a bit more elsewhere)

Fazer 1000/FZ1 corner / Clutch plate order
« on: 27 August 2017, 11:30:59 am »
Hi folks.  Replacing the friction plates on my 04 with EBC heavy duty ones (currently soaking in oil).  I know order is important and have taken the old ones out as one to keep them in order.  The question I have is, is ther an easy way to tell the order on the EBC ones as they all look the same to me (except one which I think is the first one to go in the basket).  Have found one or two posts online saying they're all the same unlike the yam ones.

No probs guys, was great to meet everyone.  Shame about the rain but felt like a nice chilled out day (despite Mike working like a man possessed the entire day!).  Bike was obviosuly much smoother straight away - can't wait to test it out properly.


Hope you arrive home safe Mike.

how a 300bhp bike can be easier to ride than 250.

😂😂 are they the same kind of people that would say driving a Ferrari is easier than a Fiat punto


Look up Big CC racing, if you can't grasp the concept of progressive increase in power over a rev range as opposed to a huge kick up the backside then I'll happily photograph the whole article and post it on here.

What I wanna know is who the hell needs a supercharger on a bike? Especially one already putting out 140+bhp!!
I would imagine it would be pretty much un rideable as a road bike


Found this vid of a FZ1 turbo thats basically a wheelie machine , I think supercharger boost is more throughout the rev range as opposed to a turbo kick which would make the supercharger more useable


not according to everything I've read on turbo'd bikes.  The whole lag thing is a car phenomenon - a turbo tends to start spooling up at 2.5-3k (depending on size and throttle) - you don't generally run a bike that low down.  The way a turbo comes in is more about turbo choice than turbocharging itself.  The Big CC guys wrote a good article on it in Streetfigthers a few years ago explaing how a 300bhp bike can be easier to ride than 250 as the increase in power is more progressive than something spooling up really quickly and kicking you up the arse.
