3 screens for Fazer 1000 gen 1 for sale. Don't really want to mess around single so 3 as a set.
Oe screen
Street fighter dark tint
Flip screen dark tint.
Now up on eBay £20 starting bid

Now that sadly the Fazer is sold I have the nitron shock but not sure on 2nd hand prices for shocks. Its the full race spec nitron with full high and low speed adjustment on damping and rebound. Aprox £700 New
Was serviced last spring by nitron.
Set up for a 20 Stone rider fast road use but can slacker the preload off to probably 15 stone. Might be a bit stiff for any lower than that without a respring.
Great condition. Will take pics later
I just have no idea on what they go for 2nd hand.
Am I far off the mark at £300 on eBay?

Also have 3 screens I will take pics later.
1 short street fighter look
Think 1 original and 1 flip

Well i have had my fazer for almost 9 years now, much of that time i have spent on and off this site (mostly off for last few years) but it is time to sell. will be very sad to see it go, still belive its the best all rounder ever made but cant afford to run 2 bikes and my truck so something has to go. as i want to focus on track days for a bit the ZX9r will be staying and the fazer needs a new home.


most on here will know the fazer so i will skip to the important bits lol.


Fazer 1000 2004 in silver with black engine (best colour combo :P )
will post pics later when i get a chance but no doubt there are old ones knocking around here till then if your interested or just search Gumtree for it as its listed there in TA81QJ area
bike is mechanicly perfect, Exup serviced at least once a year and often 2-3 times for luck lol. new chain and sprockets last year and recent tyres to. battery is the Gel type (holds charge trough winter better).


Only real marks are on nose cone a scuff (cosmetic write off with scuff and broken mudguard) and a slight tear in seat where the join is at the front.
everything else is just age related , but it is in pretty good nic 


mods.... the list is long and i am sure i will forget some. most have been recommended here anyway lol


Full monty fitted by Mike with Air box mod
Blue Flame exhaust (twin port oval)
4 deg ignition advancer (plus original if wanted)
front forks had a full Ktec workover on internals
rear shock is currently full spec Nitron track but will be coming with the OE shock fitted not the Nitron as i will be selling that speratlely. the OE shock is very low miles as i put the Nitron on at the start of my ownership and has been serviced by nitron 3 times since then (i normally fully service it every 3 years)
new exup cables last year
fuzzy mirror mod
AIS removed
rear hugger fitted
yamaha belly pan and crash bungs
double bubble screen (can come with a street fighter cut down screen if wanted)
KnN filter with refresh kit

upgraded clutch springs
R1 gear leaver mod
speedo healer fitted
forks dropped 10mm
rear jacked 20mm
shorty leavers in black
stainless rad cover
givi top box and rack but may decide to put back on the grab rails and sell sepratley not sure yet.
i'm sure i have some spare knocking around to like oil filter and a few parts




now i'm sure i have forgotten some stuff but that covers the bulk of it i think


the bike is based in Burnham on sea somerset
has MOT till 9th july 2016
i'm asking £2050 ono. but this will not include the Nitron shock

The time seems to have finally arrived while servicing the Exup a few days back I noticed the pull cable was frayed. I would say about a 1/3 worn away.
Anyone found a good place to get them yet that isn't going to take triple didgets?

Speedo seems to have died
Not had a chance to have a good poke around yet but did check the connection blocks behind the screen. All look fine, but cleaned them best I could anyway.
Fault is no speedo and the clock resets each time ignition is off.
Fully charged battery and It's in good condition. That's as far as I have got so far.

I have a speedo healer fitted, due to gearing change.
Also a acumen gear indicator. (Make no change when unplugged. Lights up but as it runs partly from speedo not working)
So what blocks to check next?
Think there was one under the right side panel, any more?

Anyone ridden around lydden track?
Thinking of doing a day there on 21st Sept but know nothing about it, never seen it. Just happens to be close to where I'm going to be that week :P

Playing with a beat up Zx6r and gunna try a mot on it.
Done pretty much all the mot work now apart from its front mudguard is smashed.
Now with the 1998 Zx6r the front fairing hangs a long way over the wheel.
Is a front mudguard a must for mot (got one on way but will be a week or so) or can I get away with out it.

No, not a knackered one for a change
Serviced mine yesterday and everything came out with ease thx to the copper slip and spring washers.
But I did notice to things that may cause issues later.
Top cable has very slight fraying as it enters the outer cover
But what caught my eye was the end plate and just how worn its starting to get.
Works 100% no rattle, squeak or anything but really starting to grove the end plate as per pic.


 

Anyone else noticed thier plate doing it to?

Non fazer but allways worth a shot with the knowledge pool we have here.

I have a H Reg GSX 600 f katana.
Was in a garden un covered for 3 years, I brought it and played with it a bit over winter. Passed an mot today but still has a few issues. Main 1 is poor running missfire and poor tickover.

But once I sort that I want to take a look at very cheaply getting the suspension working. Front springs are shot and rear ain't far off.
If I go hyper pro I'm looking at 200 for front and rear kits.
Gota be cheaper springs around. Anyone recomend a place for them? Linier I would prefer and stronger than std.
Not had much luck on owner clubs for it as all I have been to so far are inactive.
Shame as I'm sure there is a shock that's a straight swap if you know what to look for. Like maybe the Gsx 750 f rear or some such.


Shoe string budget as its a real ratty bike.

Well I just booked in for my 2nd track day.
18 th April brands hatch Indy with instruction from tommy hill
Just hope it don't snow.

In the market for a new lock for the bike. At home its in a garage now with a ground anchor. And the garage is locked but only with the normal garage lock and a floor bolt and padlock.

But while out and about I used to have the data tool uno immobilizer and a cheapish bike it disc lock.
Now the data tool is no more and the bike it disc lock is worn and was crap to start with :P

So in the market for a new lock. Needs to be easy to carry and easy to accses. So I am thinking disc lock again. But maybe something a bit better than the last one that can be broken in 2 by droping it from a hight not much greater than the top box LOL.

Oxford boss seems to get ok reviews and is a sensible price, they do normal and an alarm version.
About 50 or 70 give or take a tenner from what I have seen.
There is also the oxford screamer that's cheap and alarmed.
But I prefer the boss as it doubles up as a chain lock to if needed.


What do you guys use? Recomend? Are the alarm ones any use?  Do you get bigger discounts on them than the non alarm ones with insurance etc
Lots of cheap tat around that I want to avoid but don't want to spend a huge amount either.

Brought myself a toy now that i have a garage to play with

Been stuck in a shed for 2 years then a garden for a year or so.
I thought it was bad but now i have started taking bits off its a lot worse than i thought heheh
never had a project before really other than a trike. so the idea is basicly to get it running and either use it for fun at the local airfield or maybe if i want a lot of punishment then get it mot'd

pictures make it look MUCH better than it is :P most of the electrics are rotted or held together with block conectors and the paint is screwed, fairing cracked and tank leaks like a tea bag (didnt know that till i filled it up)
