Fazer 1000/FZ1 corner / Adjustable rider foot pegs
« on: 08 October 2018, 07:52:18 pm »
Has anyone fitted adjustable rider foot pegs? having long legs I find the ride slightly cramped, I thought if I could lower the pegs slightly it may help. I was wondering if there was any problems altering the brake and gear selectors?Cheers John

Fazer 1000/FZ1 corner / TPS
« on: 30 July 2018, 07:04:22 pm »
Hi guys, I have just balanced the carbs and then checked the TPS, the reading was 10, I read on here it should be 5 so I have adjusted it to 5.Looking through the Haynes manual it says the 5 setting is for bikes before 2003 and the later bikes you have to measure the resistance on the wires.Does anyone know if I have done wrong?Cheers John

Fazer 1000/FZ1 corner / Baffled!
« on: 12 April 2018, 06:57:34 pm »
Hi guys, a while back I got myself a SP Engineering can n link pipe. I thought I would take out the baffle before fitting it and just replace for the mot next year. When removed its only about 2" long and just fits into the last bit it the pipe. Would this be right? the last time I removed the baffles they were about 6" long and went right into the can. Perhaps its been cut down to give the appearance of having a baffle fitted? Any Ideas?
Thanks John

Fazer 1000/FZ1 corner / Forks
« on: 05 April 2018, 08:25:48 pm »
hello guys, what a p1sser!, checked bike over before I took it for MOT n all seemed well, got to mot station and front fork had blown a seal on the way there :-( needless to say it failed.

I have stareted to strip down the forks to replace the seal but when I took the top cap of the forks I forgot to measure where the lock nut was on the damper rod (numpty). Is there a standard measure for this? or should it be the same measurement as the other fork?

The good news is the MOT guy said apart from that its it excellent condition

Any help would be most apreciated

Cheers John

Fazer 1000/FZ1 corner / Possible stupid speedo question
« on: 08 March 2018, 07:46:35 pm »
Hi guys, I have recently replaced my dials with white ones and followed the instructions on the link on the site. I Plugged the speedo back in and tried it, everything seems to work fine, rev counter fuel guage, all the lights. I wanted to check the speedo and as the mot is up and its on a sorn I dont want to risk riding it down the street.

As the speedo is electronic, if I put the bike on the stand and put it into gear should the speedo work then? I am assuming the speedo drive is in the gearbox.

I did say it was a stupid question sorry :o

« on: 02 September 2017, 09:19:27 am »
Hi guys, has any one fitted an aditional digi speedo to a gen 1 fazer 1000?  My problem is i cant quite see the numbers on the speedo dial without taking my eyes of the road and trying to focus. If I wear my glasses I can see it fine but cant see the road. The joys of getting old  :rolleyes

Introduction / Newbie
« on: 13 June 2017, 06:00:33 pm »
Hi guys, just joined your site and thought I would say hello. I just bought myself a nice low milage fazer 1000 (2003) and thought this would be a good place for any hints or tips. AS my old FJ1200 is getting a bit heavy for me now due to a back injury I thought I would get something a bit lighter. It was a toss up between the fazer and a speedtriple 955, I thought the seating position on the fazer was more like the FJ so went for it.
