I'm selling my Fazer due to wanting a bigger bike.


I've put it up on Ebay for £1150. I'll knock another £50 off for a focer

I found out subsequently that the bike is Cat D, although that doesnt really bother me. The previous owner says he was unaware, and based on how much he has spent on the bike, im tending to believe him, however I couldnt sell the bike without disclosing it. Unfortunately it means I'll be taking a heavy loss, but think £1150 is fair, what do you think?

PS Mods apologies if this isn't allowed.

Thanks, think the eeprom might be bad. Need to investigate further....

It works. Economical these motorbike things

Thanks. Its my first bike so wasnt sure. If i turn the fuel tap off im guessing it will still vent? Wife doesnt like the smell!

Thanks once again Christian. Nice to know it's an easy fix.

Thanks. Yeah was thinking of buying a whole replacement unit but just swap out the good LCD for the bad, unless I can just pop the entire unit in and it still remembers the mileage?


Dean

This is the odometer LCD module that is damaged on my bike. I am assuming the mileage is stored within the odometer assembly.


I'm handy with a soldering iron/electronics so was thinking of buying a replacement speedometer assembly, desoldering the lcd unit and then swapping it out with my bad one. Anyone done this? Is the speedo unit easy to strip down?


If you have a unit going cheap, let me know.


Dean

Looking forward to riding it. Test on the 13th I think.


I'm going to get the wheels changed to black, bit blingy for me!!

Its not that I need a keeper, and I'll probably progress fairly quickly to a newer/faster bike, however I don't want to ride around on a piece of tat. I take pride in the things I own, and like them to be "right".


Went to view it today and had a quick ride on it (private road). I can see why people like them The front brakes are awesome.


Spoke to the guy who did the engine work and it has had a full service of the carburettors including ultrasonic cleaning, new seals, air filter, balancing of jets, cleaning fuel lines etc plus the MOT (no advisories). It runs perfectly.


By my reckoning it needs at least the following:-


Tyres front and back (manufactured 2008). They look in good condition, thoughts?
Oil Change
Oil Filter
Spark Plugs
Swingarm regreased
Steering head bearings regreased
Brake fluid change plus master cylinder seals
Age of some of the brake lines etc. are probably questionable

Chain is on exactly 150mm, brakes are fine.

It does have the centre stand on it

He still wants £1400 for it. Also said he will provide a warranty if anything breaks.

I'm torn as it does run very well, but it is a bit tatty. More cosmetic, the underlying mechanics plus the low mileage are positives. The black paint is coming of in parts on the front wheel, plus scratches on rear of bike (see photo). Front forks could also do with being tidied up (see photo).

Maybe I should just spend more on my first bike? Anyone got a mint FZS600 they want to sell me?

Dean

Hmm, good point. Hadn't noticed the centre stand was missing. I'm guessing if it's not there, he doesn't have it.

I rechecked the MOT history and he got it MOTd last year, but it only shows 70 miles difference from 2011 until last years MOT which expires on 5th Feb. I'm guessing this doesnt make much difference and comments ref price still stand?

Thanks Arfa very comprehensive, just what I needed and no, it didnt scare me off. Id already budgeted for new tyres and a rear shock as a minimum plus probably a chain. Ive had a look at the MOT history and its sat unused for the last 7 years since he bought it from a friend. Hes a bit of a hoarder and he has a lot of classic cars and motorbikes.

He is asking £1100 for it, does that seem reasonable?

Also, can you fit heated grips easily enough?
