Hi They are available from a good Yamaha dealer as they are listed as a Yamaha part. Have done this in the past. Dont remember what the price was.

Hi Diablo
The crash bungs are standard Yamaha. Part No: 5LV-W0741-00. I think the price was about £75.00 at the time of purchas in 2002. It is possible to find an accessories catalogue in any good Yamaha dealer or perhaps on Yamaha uk website. They do work. I have seen evidence on other Fazers. They do not damage the frame as some cheaper models do.
Regards Mike

Hi
Have had close contact with the local Yamaha shop for a number of years collecting bikes for them to take to the workshop. This time of year brings many with the problems you encountered. Drain all the fuel, tank and carbs. Make sure battery is fully charged. Refill with 95 unleaded (anything else is a waste of money), turn on ignition and wait for the petrol pump to fill. Proceed with the starting procedure thus: full choke, press starter button for only a few seconds at a time and do not use throttle until it starts to run. Good Luck. Let me know the result.

Hi Best of luck with the gearbox rebuild. Have not got that far into an engine for a number of years now. Would like to know what your Nautilus horn is all about. Have tried to replace the standard beep beep but am always short of space. Good luck. Mike

Hi I have Renthal bars and matching bar ends with no problem of vibration, you can cut them about 1/2 inch shorter either end if you wish. Do not forget to drill holes in the bars for the lighting and switch gear. Wrap masking tape around the bars in the vicinity of the holes before drilling. Mark the peg on the inside of the switch with permanent marker or like, place swicthgear in the position you require and press, thus marking the masking tape with the position of the hole required. Do this with handlebars in the centre clamps and sit on bike to get the positon you require. Best of luck. Mike.

Hi Good choice of machine. I have had Gen1 Fazer since 2002. Any info I will gladly pass on if I can help. Good Luck and a Happy New Year.

Fazer thou Gen1 Petrol Guage. Mine reads perfect. I have checked a long time ago. The handbook reads "When the needle reaches E approx 4 litres of fuel remain in the fuel tank. My check some time ago - the reserve light came on just before a fuel stop and I filled up with 16.9 litres. Plus the 4 litres reserve totals 20.9 litres. As the tank capacity is 21 litres you can see there is very little error. Leave well alone then you will have some 30 miles or more with the reserve light on before you have to panic. I have had 2 of this model now and they have both been the same. Happy Xmas. Mike

Hi Make sure your chain is slack enough to sit on the rubber on the top of the swingarm when on the centrestand. The early 2001-2005 Fazer needs plenty of slack. Have a Happy and Safe Xmas. Mike

Please do not use car oil of any sort in a motor cycle engine. There is a difference, but as I am not a chemist I cant clearly explain the difference. I have used only good quality engine oil on my bikes for the past 50 years and have never had a mechanical issue that you could put down to lubrication problems. Be careful. Have a good Xmas. Ask Santa for some expensive oil.

Hi fellow fazer owners
My name is Mike Lockyer and I live in Colchester. I am retired and have plenty of spare time to go on rideouts. Unfortunately I do not find many other people as lucky as me. I am 72 years of age and first rode a motorcycle in 1957. Had a break but have now been ridin continously since 1980. Hope to meet up with some of you soon.
ride safe, mike
