I used an old number plate, pealed off the number, cut to size and used a blow torch to warm it up and bend into shape.

I used Ford Stardust silver for the cam cover on my last Fazer and 3 years later it still looked perfect. Just bought the spraycans from Halfords.

Solorider,
Yes the link pipe is a 50mm outlet, on saturday i'll double check it is a fazer one and let you know.
Red Ceri,
I'd rather sell the cans with the link pipes as they are not much use without.
regards,
Jim.

Having a clearout, I have 3 Micron end cans for sale. The 2 carbon cans are race only and the chrome can comes with a removable baffle. I only have 2 link pipes, the 3rd one in the pics doesn't fit, they come with a securing band. All are in pretty good nick although the chrome can has a small dink in it. The link pipes on the carbon cans also fit the chrome one.
Collection preferred but i will post if wanted although it'll be about £12.
Can on it's own £50 or £70 with link pipe plus post.
Jim.

There's a little spring behind the gear shaft cover, it weakens over time. I found If I changed it the gear change would be nice and slick again until it weakened again. The local Yamaha mechanic used to squeeze 2 springs in. I think it's job is to align the shift shaft ready for the next gear change, as it weakens it doesn't work so well. I always meant to find a supplier to get a slightly stronger spring.

I found the pads glazed over and lost all bite after a track day, several days of normal braking on the road seemed to fix it though. That was with EBC pads, never had a problem with the genuine ones.

I have one, you have mail.
I remember getting my last Fazer forks done by Maxton and they strongly advised me to change the dampers. They made ones from steel if I remember.

I'd go for the lower wattage bulbs, the brighter ones would be serious overkill. I have always found the standard lights to be pretty good once set up properly. I've had 3 Fazers and all needed the headlamps adjusted, i think they are set up at the shop without a rider but as soon as anyone sits on the bike the headlight aim is way too high especially with the soft rear spring.
Spend a bit of time setting up the aim left and right as well as up and down and you might find they are bright enough.

I'll be interested in this as i too think the pegs are a little too far forward. I was thinking about getting adjustable plates to mount the pegs a little further back.

Thanks AyJay, i did the full monty to my last fazer myself so i'm happy to do this one, i was just wondering if it was worthwhile with the standard can.

I'm thinking about fitting one of Ivan's jet kits to my bike, the thing is i want to run the standard can. Would the kit work with the standard can?

Get one made, find a local radiator maker and take yours in for them to copy. I did this with my old ST1100 and it was far better quality, cost me £150.

I'd go with tapered roller bearings every time, pack them well with grease and you'll probably never need touch them again. There is a supplier listed somewhere on this site, i've used them before and their service is first class. They also know exactly what bearings you will need and won't supply cheap cr*p.
The standard ball bearings need carefull torquing up to get the adjustment right whereas roller bearing are far easier as they can stand a fair bit of preload and still work ok.

Yes I have bought a spring from them previously, they supply Maxton and for that reason wouldn't do one in purple as it's their colour. My mate who is about the same weight as me got a spring from K-Tech and they recommend a 95N spring. The Ohlins website has some good info regarding spring rates. Thanks for the help.

Hi, I've just bought another fazer (my third). I am looking for a standard uncut rear under tray . Please get in touch if you have one.
Thanks
Jim
