posssibly issues or not, I'm not an expert so I can only give symptoms and hopefully someone may have come across this and have an idea?


Bike is a 2004 model, 28K miles, full service history.  OK, issue is sometimes (only sometimes) when changing between 1st and 2nd it feels like what car drivers would say finding a gear is like stirring a pot with a spoon syndrome, going into first is clunky but I know that this can be the norm, I've had it on various other bikes over the years so this isn't really bothering me too much.  But the main concern is when trying to change between 1st to 2nd and then back down.  Sometimes it finds the gear no problem but at others it feels like it needs a good stamp to get it into gear and that doesn't always work (no I'm not actually stamping on the lever!).  No nasty noises coming from the engine or gearbox, chain is going to need a change pretty soon but other than that I'm stumped?  All other gears are fine, new clutch cable fitted and set up correctly etc


Any ideas?


cheers

as per title, must be in good condition.


thanks

Instructions that have come with the undertray are pants and from what I can gather you cut upto the central fixing point - if anyone can remember of top of their heads is it a straight line all the way from left to right using the central fixing point as reference?


cheers

Just taken off of my bike as my dark one has arrived, this is the clear screen with tint at the lower part of screen and has "Fazer" etched into it, will take pics if any interest but I'm guessing you know which one it is.

Does anyone know where I can source some skunk decals? I'm after the nose cone decal, am I stuffed and have no choice but to go through Yamahahahaha and pay silly money?


cheers

Just waited 19 minutes to speak to one of these so called professionals about my policy which I paid in full on the 21st of last month, so call handler answers after ridiculous waiting time and asks how he can help, I say "firstly can you explain to me why I have been waiting 19 minutes on an 0844 number?" he then tells me that they are actually closed? So I ask him why is there not a recorded message at the beginning of the call to allow me to hang up and NOT stay on the line thinking someone will pick up? He then changed his mind and say's that they are open but not expecting calls??? WTF????


I then ask why haven't I received my documents after all of this time, he then tries to tell me that they were sent out the day I took the policy out and as a back up they also sent them via email.  He asks me to confirm email addy along with home address which I do and yes that's them, so where are the documents then ???? - smells like horseshit to me!! I fucking hate insurance companies with a passion and when shit like this happens that anger goes super sonic, so basically it costs me my time and money to call the Dick Turpins for something that should have been done in the first place with no hassle AND NOT ON MY TIME!!!


Wankers 

looking for the rubber bushed mounted in the footrest brackets on the gen 1 Fazer 1000, spoke to yamahahahahaha and they want a £10 each!!!!! If anyone has some even used but in decent knick (I know I know tall measure) or know of a specialist that may have them as I'm sure that the bush is pretty generic then please give me a shout.


cheers

Hi all, bought a Fazer the other night, and the fuel light was stuck on and the needle registered near empty, I filled the tank and the light stayed on and the needle didn't budge.  Yesterday when I started the bike up the light did go out but the needle wouldn't move (again) and then the light started to be intermittent.  I spoke to the seller and he said that it was fine before he parked the bike up, but it hasn't been used since September as he had another bike.


Any ideas or suggestions that could be of help are greatly appreciated.


 

Ok flame suit on and ready 


Used the search option for suspension set-up but could only find one that was suited for an 18st rider.  So here goes again....i'm 15st and occasionally will have a pillion, pretty quick rider but no track days, spoke to K-Tech about linear springs but they advised a complete rebuild at over £400 which is not what I want to do or spend if I can help it!  I had a GSX1400 that I fightered and spent a good few quid on her over the years and don't want to go down that route again, I found an old article with regards to set-up on the www but it was Niall Mackenzie at Jerez so can't see that being much use 


So any of you guys that can shed a light on an otherwise dark subject i'm at your mercy, kind thanks in advance.
