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!

Call it what you like "Document fee", "Admin fee" it all ads up to the same thing! Rip off dealers trying to employ some kind of "clever salesmanship" nonsense. How many people have been caught out by this crap! An agreement is reached as to the total purchase price of a vehicle, after a deposit is paid the balance suddenly becomes plus X £, whatever they charge! This is always after the deal is made and is only highlighted after the supposed total cost is agreed verbally and the deposit paid! Yes it is mentioned in the website or advert small print but what they are trying to say is they are charging you for selling you the bike! The problem is on paying the deposit they then have your deposit money and a bike which may be short changed if they have promised to service it if you tell them to go and F*** themselves for the fee! Make sure you get a text, deposit and and balance amount BEFORE parting with ANY cash and keep it! Being a canny Scot it was only 300 and odd miles that prevented me from going and having an articulate word or two in person, (I had spoke to him on the phone about this"phantom charge") with the scrawny little smarmy shit (I had previously met in person) who I dealt with. No wonder dealers get a bad name when some are like this! No excuse for their actions! On the plus side bloody good bike  ! More to do with the original owner though. If you are going to buy a bike from a dealer who charges this the FIRST thing to tell them is "Shove their fee up their ARSE!"

Wondering what material these things are made from? Anyone had any success in welding up the stripped valve housing retaining threads and re-tapping them? I hate helicoils! Being time served in engineering and having full access to all the necessary workshop machines and tools it would not be difficult if the material is weldable, possibly using a T.I.G. set up?
P.S. Forgot to say even if weldable will it go very hard and thus unable to drill it?

Part No 5LV 271110000. Most of the S/H ones look crap!

I have seen it mentioned on here that the 143 bhp that Yamaha states for a standard Gen 1 power output is bollocks! If so what would you expect a totally standard low mileage machine to produce.. I am a 55 year old git and ex 2-stroke nut to my shame  , more than happy (ecstatic) with the bike, owned one year, cannot understand why I never bought one donkeys years ago. P.S. There are less than 200 employees where I work and no less than four Gen 1 1000 owners, including me, and a 600 Boxeye owner. All of the Gen 1 owners have no intention of parting with them!

Part No 5LV 214000000 or 1C2 214000000. The front engine/ frame bracket with the rubber mounts/bushes. No longer available from Yamaha, anyone got a new one they are willing to part with? Or anyone know of any specialist dealers who have hoards of new old stock Yamaha parts? Thought I would get a more modern bike and leave the classics as they are so hard to find parts for!

Looking to buy some bodywork RS paints silver spray for my 2004 Thou, (Not 1000S) model code 1C21-080 B. Believe this to be what they call "Silver Tech" can anyone of you confirm this.

As I own a 2004 model FZS 1000 (registered on an 05 plate) I noticed there are two part number prefixes for the front engine mount brace, 5LV and 1C2 the rest of the numbers are the same. Anyone know why this is? What is the difference? Will they both fit?

I may be being a bit obsessive, (Mechanical engineer), but I have heard that some thous tend to knock and snatch a bit going into 1st from neutral when stationary, as mine did slightly. Found the best way to make this quite sweet was to use a low idle speed (just under 1000 rpm). Sure I read somewhere on here it is not a good idea to have the idle speed so low. The bike ticks over nicely at this speed and just clicks going into gear, Is this a load of bollocks or not, I know this is lower than the handbook says?

Even just an original tag A7338. I just like to have all the little bits that were supplied with the bike. I know I can get a key cut by several methods would just like the silly little metal tag. Lots of old and knackered Fazers around now, I believe there are only a few different keys.

Just been sent the key tag from the bikes (05 FZS 1000) previous owner. Code prefix is F and five digits! I thought all of these keys had the prefix A and four digits? I think he has sent me the code tag from another bike or could this be correct? Does anyone have a Gen 1 tag with a prefix of F and five digits? No point in ordering a useless key!

Why does there seem to be two Yamaha owners handbooks for the Fazer Fzs1000? The book i got with my bike (2004) has a part number prefix, 1C2, but there seems to be one with the prefix 5LV which seems to have more pages. ( There is a 5LV prefix one on the bay now which is said to cover all the Fzs1000 models 2001-5) I'm sure there is a simple explanation for this which you learned guys will know. SORRY, JUST REALIZED I HAVE STUCK THIS IN THE WRONG SECTION! Could someone in authority move it for me please. Thank you.

New ones off the bay are only £16.39 posted!

These three black rubber retaining bands. The one buried up near the rear light in the tail cowling I assume is for the toolkit, its pretty crap as there is hardly any room at all for the tools and bag?  [/size] S[/size]hite really! What are the other two for, the one nearer the battery and the one attached to the underside of the the seat?

Wanted, original Yamaha key No A7338 with tag or even just the tag.

Does the part of the frame that the centre stand hangs from (the mounting lugs assembly) unbolt from the rest of the frame?
73
« on: 23 December 2017, 02:25:24 am »
Anyone found the best match for the frame? Almost looks slightly grayish black , you knowledgeable veteran owners know what I mean. Both aerosol and brush paint please.

I have no number code tag on the spare key and there is nothing recorded where it should in the handbook. I know I can get a key cut by copying the original but I have been told the number is noted discreetly on the locks, or at least one of them. If this is so where exactly? And do all Fazer key numbers of around this time have a prefix letter 'A'. Secondly if I send it to get copied will they be able to tell me the number?
75
« on: 02 December 2017, 08:06:57 pm »
Anyone got a Fazer (or any Yamaha) with a Key No 0918? P.S. Lads, I know I can get a new key cut as long as I have the number.
