Fazer 1000/FZ1 corner / Valve clearances

« on: 03 April 2017, 09:28:15 pm »

Hi Foc people, Please forgive my ignorance but would grey gasket sealant on the valve cover rubber gasket indicate that it has been off before.
Also where can I obtain feeler gauges that measure 0.11 (intake) and 0.21 (Exhaust) both the minimum gap but mine are extremely close on cyl 1 (only one checked so far) and my gauges are in increments of 0.05mm.
Thanks

Fazer 1000/FZ1 corner / ngk iridium

« on: 23 March 2017, 08:02:09 pm »

Hi folks, what do you make of this. ok they were fitted 2 years ago, 7k miles. I know i replaced the plug caps correctly. my Question is whats the point in fitting iridium (supposedly longer life) when the rest of the plug is made from recycled baked bean cans

Fazer 1000/FZ1 corner / Valve cover removal

« on: 13 March 2017, 06:35:02 pm »

Hi folks, gonna have a go at the valve clearances, bikes at 28odd K. I know i dont need to remove the carbs (thanks to PieEater) But just wanted to ask if i still have to remove the fairing and thermostat housing (as per Haynes manual) to get the valve cover off? AIS has been removed.
Also, my feeler gauges are not tapered, will this matter?
Thanks in advance guys.

Fazer 1000/FZ1 corner / shocks

« on: 12 February 2016, 10:01:19 pm »

Hi Folks,

Newbie here, late to join Foc-u (got my Fazer 3 years ago) a nice example with 12000 miles on it, now has 25000. I intend to do some upgrades (limited budget) thinking I should start with the rear shock and maybe front springs.
I would appreciate any advice.
Thanks
Jim
