I have leaking forks between the slider and the aluminium lower section. I have bought some new oil seals, dust covers and lower bushes. My dealer tells me the upper bushes hardly ever wear out. This will save me £28 plus postage.
What do the experts think on here? The bike has done 30k miles
Thanks

Lets be honest, a centre stand is not a lot of money

DJDLTD - I went through your videos and it seems like I will be ordering your dash soon :-)
Go for it, they are very good and so easy to read

They can be straightened. I put the shaft of mine is a drill at very low speed and I could see how bent it was. Slow tugs on the valve will straighten, take your time!

How much do you want for the front fairing?

I ran a strip of LED lights around the edge of the gauges. It worked quite well.

I did the same, bought a Gen 1 in Red. Couldn't see the issues at the time, I was smitten by the bike. I've now replaced a lot of stuff, cleaned a lost of stuff and I still have leaking forks to sort out. I notice my header bolts are badly corroded so without doubt they will snap if I try to undo them. This is on a 30k bike. My main bike is a Gen 1 with 112k on it and overall its finish is much better.

Probably needs the chain adjusting correctly. Check the manual. It would also be a good idea to lubricate the linkages.

I have a 2004 and a 2005. Both have no information on the V5. Then information TFL need is on the cert of conformity. Once you have this you can apply for indemnity. Its a bit of hassle but will save a lot of money if you need to enter the ULEZ regularly. Both my bikes have NOs readings below the required level and so get in free.

Many thanks, I understand now.

The nut inside in the forks to hold the damper rod when opening the bottom bolt is 26mm.I used a a 3/8drive 26mm socket duct taped to the end of an vacuum cleaner tube to hold it while undoing the bolt
I watched a couple of videos on how to do this job and don't quite understand your statement above. There is a bolt head up through the bottom of the suspension leg. Are you saying there is a nut on the other side of this? The main video I watched was from Dels Garage and his leg had a cartridge in it, maybe that was the difference? There was certainly no nut on the inside of that leg that needed to be retrieved.

I noticed today that one of the forks on my 05 Gen1 is leaking from the seal at the top of the leg. The bike has covered £32k miles. It would make sense to me to change the seals on both legs. Obviously change the oil. Is there anything else I need to change/check at the same time?
Where is the best place to buy the new parts?
What is the best grade oil to buy and how much do I need?
Thanks

I've got two Fazers and only ever seem to use one of them. When I need to use the other one because something has broken on my 'main' one I find I haven't bothered to tax/MOT/insure the second one so cant use it anyway.

The engine in my Gen 1misses quite a lot when its raining hard. I think I need to cut the HT leads down and make a new joint. Am I right I need to unscrew the lead from the cap. cut 5mm or so off and refix
I don't think it can be much else, if I spray with WD45 before I leave the bike behaves much better.
Thanks

Brilliant, what a cool upgrade this display is. Very easy to read and to date totally reliable. Thanks DJDLTD

I probably have some silver ones. They will have some marks on them but they are the original bars. Let me know if you want to look for them.
