Introduction / I might be back

« on: 06 September 2015, 04:32:52 am »

Hi Guys

It's been a few years since I came here!

I sold my more perfect than yamaha made gen 1 fazer thou 05 plate, ivanised, acra full system bike in 2012

I went to triumph speed triple 1050. 2011 and like a daft fool didn't keep the fazer(told you so springs to mind)

Anyway great bike the trumpet was apart from shocking gearbox and heavy clutch.

I then had the hotrod triumph thunderbird storm 1700 with 8ball paint lucifers ride, amazing kit but too big to get round back of me house.

I traded in for 2015 speed triple r with all the ohlins, arrows etc, sweet gearbox and a sound like a Lancaster bomber!

I now also own well on PCP a new R12015.

The reason I'm here is I want a project to please my missus, as she wants the fazer back, she loved that bike, and more comfy on that than the thunderbird.

Is there any good ones still left that get sold on? Looking for 02-06 gen 1. Can't be many that the great Mike ain't ivanised! I saw an 04 for sale at a dealer for 3500 quid but it had crap headers and doubt the exup had ever been serviced.

Just be nice to get some pointers on prices for one in reasonable condition, miles not a problem as long as full service history.

Anyway hope everyone is well and getting some riding done. Thought I'd say hello in here again first.

Cheers to all fazerish peeps

Fazer 1000/FZ1 corner / Cans to fit akra headers

« on: 07 February 2013, 06:37:50 pm »

Does anyone know or tried fitting an alternative can to akra full system. IE does a Mivv stubby measure 60mm to slip on midpipe on headers.
I fancy a change as I find I like the akra can but don't fancy cutting it down and prefer a carbon one. I already own a BOS carbon which fits but is full length and don't want to cut that either.
Any thoughts? Ta in advance

Fazer 1000/FZ1 corner / focin dealers

« on: 04 September 2012, 05:08:53 pm »

Bought my k7 gixxer early in the summer.
Kept getting Fi light on dash, take it back, they say it's.the arrow pipes I have fitted. Check this out no mention of errors fitting cans. They sold me the cans !
I tell them that the light kept coming on before I fitted the cans and decat pipe. I explain the exhaust valve in headers squeaks and should be checked. They say no won't be that.
I check myself and it seemed stiff and cables needed a lube. All is well for a while then error light on again.
Book dealer and he said it's the valve, well l knew that. He sorts any fault codes and adjusts the valve. Light goes off for a while then back again.
On my investigation the bastard thing stuck again. And because the mechanic put loads of slack in cables they weren't working the valve.
I get it working again and get rid of fault light.
I then do research on the gixxer forum. The valve in the headers is to cut down noise and nothing else. So off with the cables and servo

And careful snipping of a wire to ECU and no error code or annoying light. The bike runs better too as the valve stays open now permanent and isn't playing silly buggers anymore.
The dealer could of of let me know he could'nt fix it instead of leaving it so the cables weren't working the valve, leaving me thinking it was

Fazer 1000/FZ1 corner / dare I !

« on: 16 August 2012, 11:32:33 pm »

Hi all what's the most I dare push std forks through the yokes? Got 12 mm now no problems.

Question is can I go more?
Reason is my gen 1 always felt top heavy, to me and your hands sit in the wind blast as not covered by front fairing.
Daft question to some but just experimenting.
Obviously don't want lose too much suspension travel or put horn through mudguard .
Any expert thoughts on this welcome

Cheers jacko

Fazer 1000/FZ1 corner / akrapovic full system fitted

« on: 10 August 2012, 02:26:08 pm »

Hi all, fitted the akra headers and teamed up to Bos can as it has the correct stamps, as off for MOT, spoke to tester and he said as long as not over loud the akra can would have passed.
Slight problem my battery failed at test centre, so MOT with engine running then trip for new battery at bike shop, another £55, not bad I thought.
With full monty and new pipes this bike howls!
Instant drive from tickover, no dips or troughs, at 5k revs we are off! So much power all through the rev range.
Really impressive, just hard to hold on now

Some weight loss too, also removed exup cables aswell .
Many thanks to Tmation for sale of pipes, a real bargain.
Off to try akra end can now, more throaty.

It looks the dogs and fits with pyramid belly pan.

Cheers all will post pics soon once I fathom how from new phone.

Fazer 1000/FZ1 corner / nearly a divorce

« on: 04 May 2012, 06:20:54 am »

After a nice ride on wednesday and a relaxing day off for a change

put some well needed miles on the fazer thou, and tested devilsyam R6 shocker which is brill by the way.

I made a slight error and landed at my local bike shop, this is where i orginally bought the fazer brand new in 05.

I asked if they had any secondhand R1's for sale around 07 vintage, as i think it time the fazer got a stablemate.

Well they have'nt but he had a mint 07 GSXR1000K7 ! just come in as trade in as the bloke came in for an MOT on the gixxer and went home with a 12 plate R1.

well i could'nt resist it , so a thrilling test ride later i bought the gixxer thou .

Well i didnt tell her indoors and spilled the beans as soon as i got home !

as you probably guessed the reception was not good , my ears still ringing now!

i have been as nice as poss since divorce threat and promised to do more round the house etc ! and am slowly sweet talking etc, being attentive to conversation etc etc.

anyway pick the gixxer up later today, just hope it dries up a bit as im unsure the insane power is what i need on a wet road!

by the way the fazer thou still gets more attention than the gixxer, its a forever bike

Fazer 1000/FZ1 corner / Fazer owners meet new venue possibly

« on: 31 March 2012, 05:47:23 am »

Hi everyone

Being as i could'nt make the fazer meet last year at the brum bike shed.

I would like to invite any fazer rider to my fishery .

I run fisherwick lakes at whittington nr Lichfield in staffordshire. fisheries.co.uk/fisherwick

We offer the full angling experience and any non anglers or bikers are more than welcome.

I have a fishing lodge fully equipped overlooking our specimen carp lake, its very scenic and tranquill setting. the lodge has a cafe and ladies and gents toilets, and also a shop selling choc bars, cold pop etc.

there is a patio area at the back with ample bike parking and hard standing outside

The lakes 11 in total cover some 32 acres, so lots to see if you fancy a stroll round .

I can offer free tuition for visitors fancying a go at fly fishing while your there, and a substantial discount to foccers using our cafe.

im a qualified cook with a five star rating by environmental health .

Anyone wishing to come let me know i love to see bikes and this would make me happy as i dont get much time to ride myself.

Im not trying to plug myself or our fishery on here . just want to see you.

We are only 20 mins from Brum and close to the famous basset pole bike meet.

Cheers all

Fazer 1000/FZ1 corner / Got the bike out the shed

« on: 31 March 2012, 05:06:42 am »

Finally had enough time yesterday to uncover Fazzee as she is called by the wife after a long lay up. unconnected the optimate .

Thanks to Mike tinkering she started first touch of the button and purred like my cat Jetski.

as i backed her out the shed and over the ramp i got stuck in the doorway, i thought whats up. im sat onthe bike.

i then twigged what wasup, i hadnt took the centre stand off, no spring on see, as i take it off when riding and pop it on minus spring to work on the bike.

couldnt get the mrs as she was in the kitchen playing with the ferrets . i thought shit what do i do ? i cant backwards as the stand is stuck round the step. Anyway i pulled the clutch in selected first and tried to go forward .

I now have a rubber darkie on the freshly washed patio slabs and step. it was fun though and my bike is safe in the shed.

im pissed off with myself for not remembering to take the stand off before moving the bike. anyway in harm done

She aint seen it yet

Fazer 1000/FZ1 corner / where's the R1 fork conversion sticky gone?

« on: 31 December 2011, 11:33:22 am »

Hi all and happy new year to you

Been a while but not much time to ride or come on here.

just wondered where the R1 front end installation guide has gone from the old site? The one that Mike put together.

Anyone ?

thanks Jacko
