Well Ive done it, was a piece of piss really.
On centre stand, jack up under the down pipes so front wheel just off floor.
Loosen off top yoke fork pinch bolts. Take top nut off, 27mm socket, remove lock washer, separate the two slotted nuts, tighten up the lower one a bit, reassemble and test.

It looks like you have to remove the handle bars and the top yoke. Is that right?

I have the factory manual download and it's not clear to me how this is done. On my other bikes it was loosen lower fork clamp bolts then tighten up basically pulling the lower fork clamp up towards the top yoke.


Is it the same? Cos the manual isn't clear at all.

I've figured it out. It's not an FZS 1000 radiator. For a start the original doesn't have a cap, it's mounted on the thermostat housing above normally. My bike has 2 Rad [size=78%]caps, the proper one on the thermostat and this other one on the rad itself that is blanked off. Bikes been crashed and bodged back together with random parts.[/size]

Fazer 1000/FZ1 corner / Live wire
« on: 21 May 2017, 08:55:55 pm »
I was changing my rear fender for a new one from Fowlers and I noticed a bolt sticking out the rear bodywork on the LHS. I was horrified to find this unisulated bolt wired direct to the live terminal of the bike! Why the food would someone do this? It was obviously thought about as they had wound a piece of 2.5mm red insulate ire round the live terminal and taped it up. Anyway it's off before it had a chance to short the battery out.  New fender in so the battery has somewhere to sit securely at last. I'm slowly getting the bike back to standard.


The battery was originally wedged in with rags and both terminals were insulated with children's shoe insoles ffs.

For Sale & Wanted / Re: WANTED - Rear fender, undertray for Gen 1
« on: 16 May 2017, 08:53:27 pm »
Hi Everyone,


Does anyone have a un-modified OE rear fender undertray for an 01-05 FZS going spare?  Apart from a couple of dubious examples in the US, there are none on eBay.


The previous owner butchered the original and I'm sick of getting covered in crap from the spray from the rear tyre even with a hugger fitted.


Cheers
AyJay.


I've just bought one from Fowlers, arrived in less than a week, about £60 brand new. There's a shitty one on eBay for not much less......

I've read the loping but your photos show different hoses to the ones are plugged.

Fazer 1000/FZ1 corner / Chain adjuster found snapped and bodged
« on: 10 May 2017, 09:58:49 pm »
come to change the rear tyre and a PO has fitted stainless bolts without coppers lip and its snapped on them. So what did they do? Left the stud, put a nut on it then screwed a short bolt in it! You can't adjust the chain!


So I need someone to remove the broken stud for me. As I don't have a welder.

Used to have an FZ6 1st big bike about 7 years ago. Now got an FAzer 1000.


It's rough in places but seems to go ok.


I'm in Lichfield Staffordshire if anyone is near me and knows the bikes let me know I could do with some advice.
