A reasonable condition decal from the swinging arm that I can get copied. These used to be available new from Fowlers Yamaha. Part No 5LV-21668-00. But alas now N.L.A as many Gen 1 Fazer parts are rapidly becoming,  (The Gen 2 decal is available) If someone has a knackered swinging arm, the decal can be removed with little damage, see you tube.

Anyone got an original "as new one" they are not going to use. I know they are shit but I like the standard look.

Just wondered who makes the original Yamaha brake pads? Had a look at mine today while changing the brake fluid, they are o.k but just checked the price from Yamaha 😡 bloody hell! Don’t want anything fancy that rips the disc to shreds, any recommendations?

Firstly, is a belly pan worth fitting to keep crap off the bottom of the bike/exhausts, or are they purely cosmetic? Can you access the EXUP valve without removing them, or only on some makes? Can the fitting of them be damaging to the bike frame paint? What ones have you found to be the best, and can I buy them in original bike matching colours? Amen! You Guru's on here will know.

Anyone got a totally knackered, utterly useless, EXUP/manifold set? Looking for one downpipe, just butchered off with a grinder or hacksaw? For research/developement and analytical purposes!

Just curious about the header downpipes, I know the exhaust flanges and collars are mild steel but what kind of material are the downpipes? They are often quoted as "stainless steel", but as I am involved in engineering where we use a lot of stainless material, this stuff seems to be as poor as it can possibly get, Piss poor in fact! P.S. Anyone know what the pipe wall thickness of these are?

Got some RS paints, frame touch up bottles. Metalic black and a bottle of lacquer. Tried to use the brush on the bottle top! What a load of utter shit! Found and used an ideal small soft brush. Question is, what the hell do you was the brush in! I tried everything I could think of but had to bin it! Expensive but damn good paint though.

Best way to polish the standard downpipes? They are meant to be stainless but that's a joke surely!

Is the original FZS 1000 front sprocket, (as fitted to the bike when supplied) a silent rubber damped type? If not, is it worth fitting one?

Standard seat, foam cut down by about 25-30 mm then covered with an original seat cover copy. Small split in the cover, about 10 mm, very clean and in V.G.C. apart from this. Would suit someone 5' 7'' or under. £75 Posted. P.S. In the last picture the seat is damp from being wiped down. Now sold.

As my bike will be kept permanently! Question is, should I change my fork oil? The bike is soon to be 15 years old but only done just over 10,000 miles, as far as I know it has never been done ( I am obviously not the first owner). If I should change it what viscosity of oil do you think is best , or do I stick to what Yamaha recommends?

Believe the 01 to 04 models had the same seat cover, but the 05 was slightly different. Anyone able to confirm this? What are the differences?

Can anyone give me the part number from the very bottom R.H.S. of the sticker. From an original U.K. bike please.

Made a fundamental error! Went to change my clutch cable without pulling a fine piece of string behind it to check the routing. OK with all the clips etc, but under the left side of the tank there seems to be no sympathetic way to route it, there is a rubber cup thing that looks like its meant to go on there? But but after that I am clueless! Can anyone attempt to explain to me exactly what the original routing is.

For a 2004 FZS 1000. Part no. 5LV-2470F-00. Believe it or not some years do have different part numbers.

Noticed some bikes have a Yamaha sticker on the lower of what looks like the original Yamaha screen, is this simply a common personal addition or is it year specific? Cannot see one shown on any parts list for any year of FZS 01-05.

Genuine Yamaha, Part No. 5LV-26335-00. Worth a try! Had pattern stuff before, utter SHITE!

Maybe it is just me but does anyone else find they leave their indicators on? Why was the good old self cancelling 70s and 80s idea done away with? Is there an easy to fit audible indication unit like on a car? I am conscious of not cancelling them and feel I spend too much time looking down checking the idiot lights!  Or are there bulbs in the idiot lights that can be changed to brighter ones, might help.

Just thought i would ask if anyone knows why the difference in oil change mileages, according to the Haynes manual, between the European models (6,000 miles) and the U.S. models (4,000 miles). On a Gen 1, 2001-2005, i believe its only a designation difference, the bikes are the same?

Where do we start on this one!!!!!!!!!!!!! I would love someone to give me a reason why some openly unrepentant stupid little worthless excuse of a human being, who joined an anti Christian terrorist organisation would EVER in ANY circumstances be allowed back into this country of ours? An utter disgrace to any British parents who lost a son/daughter or children who lost a mother/father fighting this barbaric scum!
