General / Ultrasonic cleaners, any good ?
« on: 20 February 2016, 07:08:15 pm »
Just bought an old 750 Honda to restore and I'm thinking of buying an ultrasonic cleaner, not too sure how they work or if the ones the 'hobbyist' buys are any good?, any of you guys have any experience or advice (carb cleaning).

Fazer 1000/FZ1 corner / That bastard water pipe !
« on: 14 February 2016, 11:45:43 am »
Just putting the gen 1 back together after doing the water pump seals, come to put the metal water pipe back on the engine (the short one under the gearbox sprocket) and what a pig to fit. Even tried a new o ring thinking that that was the problem, basically the thing will not go in and sit properly, I've tried putting the seal onto the pipe then trying to sit it home....no good, I've also tried putting the seal in the casing then pushing the pipe in, still no good.
I've ended up using a smaller o ring stretched over the pipe then it sits home ok but my concern is that it will leak, has anybody come across this before ??

Just having a browse on Ebay and noticed these new headers for sale, they took my eye because one of the guys in Practical Sports bike mag just fitted the same brand exhaust system on to his bike:


http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/YAMAHA-FZS-1000-FZS1000-FAZER-EXHAUST-DOWNPIPES-FRONTPIPES-DOWN-PIPES-/141446021887?hash=item20eed702ff:g:V6oAAOSwLVZVn83a


The blurb says it the pipes will run fine with no mods as long as your bike is standard, I've read on here that it's a massive no no to try and remove the EXUP valve and have the bike run right.


Thoughts please guys :rolleyes

Fazer 1000/FZ1 corner / R6 Mod dog bone length anybody?
« on: 16 January 2016, 07:35:41 pm »
Just waiting for a price back on the Dogbone kit off Devils yam for a R6 shock I've just bought, depending on price I might be able to get a pair made by a mate. I've done a search for the R6 Dog bone conversion length but to no avail, every message seems to point to the R6 mod thread but then comes to a blank. I could do with hole centre to hole centre dims if possible.


Cheers guys

Fazer 1000/FZ1 corner / Water leak on gen 1 but from where ?
« on: 05 December 2015, 05:43:28 pm »
2001 gen 1 been laid up for a good few week now and I decided to start her up today, bike started fine and sounds great but it sprang a small water leak from the underside of the engine. Took the belly pan off to get a better look and it seems to be leaking from the underside of the engine onto the collector box then on the floor, its defiantly not coming from the front of the lump or the rad........any idea's guys. Oh yeah on one other thing I noticed is it only seemed to leak for a short while then stopped as soon as it got warm :\

Fazer 1000/FZ1 corner / HID Headlights
« on: 26 July 2015, 06:43:55 pm »
Thinking of fitting a HID conversion to my gen 1, looked at LED bulbs after watching a ruck of youtube vids I think the HID Xenon type might be the way to go. Has anybody fitted a kit to there bike and if so are they any better than the OEM and lastly do they pass the MOT ok?.

Fazer 1000/FZ1 corner / The dreaded vibes!
« on: 22 June 2015, 08:28:48 pm »
Hi Guys,


read all the recent threads on reducing vibration on the gen 1 thou, I guess mine is no different to others making it's presence felt between 3.5 and 5k, the right hand handlebar grip is noticeably worse than the left, and my lad assures me the exhaust side rear footrest is very bad.


I've undone all the engine mountain bolts, started the engine up the re-torqued the bolts back up but what I did notice is how close the exhaust downpipes are to the engine sump......practically touching just where the exup value is! is this normal? surely if the exhaust is touching the engine that would be the cause of the vibes on the rear footrest??

Fazer 1000/FZ1 corner / Inlet rubbers required
« on: 03 June 2015, 07:00:05 pm »
Hi guys,


just as I'm knocking one out over my newly acquired 2001 1000 Fazer I've found the first issue, the carb inlet rubber are cracked to shit  :'( it's probably only a matter of time before they start to let air in.
Where is the best place to buy new ones?, I know with older Honda's Dave Silver was the man, who is the Yam man so to speak? or does anybody know of a good second set for sale?.
Lastly, are they they the same as the R1 ?......on a happy note the rest of the bike is sweet  :b
