So Joy has been having some problems with the fazer 6.
It kept stalling at lights or low revs. The rev would also hang for a second or to.
And when she got it going afterwards there was black smoke out of the exhaust.
So 2 weeks ago i bought a secondhand fuel system to swap over.
This afternoon i had time to take it all apart and see what was wrong.
As soon as i removed the fuel system i could see the problem.
Injector 2,3 & 4 were leaking as they were wet and Number 1 was bone dry.
The bike was in a very poor way when we going it and standing for some years.
I also pulled the plugs and they were black but not with soot. So i bought new plugs.
So i got the plugs and fuel system fitted and the bike started first time which was a good thing.
I got it up to temp and revved up the engine. there was no hanging of revs and it idle around 1200rpm.
So i just need to put the rest of it back together in the morning and take it for a test ride.
Will let you know if i have to call the AA or not lmao.

Ok, I have not long ago rebuilt the wife Fazer 6. Now i did not know it was a fault until i did some reading online.
The problem is when the bike is in gear and the clutch is pulled in, the neutral light comes on.
Now i have replaced the clutch lever switch, side stand switch and tried another second hand relay.
So even after doing this the neutral light still comes on when the clutch lever is pulled.
The bike has not got wet and has not been on the road yet.
Any help please would be great as sorting this problem out will keep the wife happy.

I have just spent the last 3 months rebuilding a 2004 Fazer 6 that i bought in 2016. It was in a very bad way and most of the parts were shot. It's had a total rebuild, with every bearing, Seal and gasket replaced. Rust was really bad and every part was sand blasted, even the nuts and bolts. Every alloy part looked like it had been under water for years. It has cost me way more than the bike is worth, but it's for the wife. The wife wanted it all painted Purple, but i said it would look crap. I said to her that less is more and Black and Purple would look better. Now it is finished, the wife said i was right for once. So now i have a happy wife for 5 mins lol

So the wife is having the Fazer 8 and i'm getting a bigger big again. The fazer is now 30mm lower on the rear and 15mm lower on the front. just waiting to pick the seat up on friday after having some taken out of it. It was funny the other day as the wife scared herself silly. She has a XJ6F and thought that the Fazer 8 would only have a little bit more power. I told her to try it up the drive way ( 30 meter). First of all she started it up and put it in to 1st gear right away. I shouted at her to take it out of gear ( i was opening the gates at the time). I said let it warm up a bit so the rev's drop to normal. She did not look happy about this ( like i was treating her like a child) Well once the rev's dropped i told her to now try the bike and to take it very easy. so she put it in to gear. and went to pull away like she was on the xj6. She did 30m at warp factor 7 up the drive way lol. she said it is a lot faster than her old bike in that i've just scared myself silly voice  . She then rode it back down to the garage on tic over. Once we have the seat back she will take it out for a proper run.

Wanted: I need a pair of FZ1/Fazer1 top yoke handle bar risers. Or upto a 30mm bar riser kit.
Wife is having the Fazer8 and i need to lower it for her. I have already fitted 30mm lowering kit to the rear. But need to drop the forks though the yokes. The standard bar mount does not give enough room to do this.

Hi Guys
When i first got the Fazer8 i found the riders seat very hard. So i went on eBay and found a second hand one from an earlier bike. I was going to send it off and have it redone. But i have found that the earlier seat (pre 2012) is much softer than the 2013-14 seat, and seems to lift a bit more at the front to give a bit more support.
hope this info help someone as the new model seat is very hard on the A**.

Hi guys
I have only had my new Fazer8 a couple of week. But i am thinking have i done the right thing. Now what i would like to ask is, how does the Fazer1 compare to the Fazer8. Would i enjoy the Fazer1 more after being use to a vfr1200 over the Fazer8. My wife is happy to have the Fazer8 and then use her 2012 xj6f as px for a Fazer1. What is worrying me is i don't want to get the Fazer1 and find its just the same as the Fazer8, as once the deal on the next bike is done there is no going back or changing it. I want a bike that i can still have a play on, but also eat up the miles on a long trip and also do some 2 up riding as well on. I am finding it hard as i have had big bikes over the past 8 years starting off with the old kawasaki zx10 then a suzuki dl1000 then a hayabusa and then the vfr1200. i got the speed out of my system with the hayabusa so i'm not after speed now. want a bike that i'm not hurting after a long ride out.
My short list is:
Fazer1
zzr1400
xjr1300
CB1300
I dont want to spend no more than 9k, but can push to 10k for the right bike. Dont want another vfr12 as i never buy the same bike.
thanks for listening

I was washing my bike for the first time yesterday. And when i washed around the front brakes 2 rubber caps fell off, one from each side. There not the small ones that go over the bleed nipples. There about 13mm across and about the same tall going narrower at the top. Inside them the lower part is round and the narrower part is square inside. So can anyone please tell me where they are meant to go.
Martin
Edit.. Don't worry guys, i found where they came from after going to my local dealer and having a look. they cover the from brake pipe bolts that go in to the calipers.

Because the Fazer 8 has ABS, Yamaha in there wisdom stuck the rectifier in front on the oil viewing glass, as the ABS unit is where it is on non-ABS bike.
Has anyone moved it on there bike to somewhere out the way.

Hi all
Never thought i would be joining a Fazer forum. But i had a bit of bad luck last Sunday and came off my bike.
I had a Honda VFR1200F which i got new in 2012. when buying it, I was going to keep it for good. But on Sunday i was out and i got took out by a crosswind and the bike ended up in a ream totally under water. The insurance have written it off, so i am now just waiting to sort it all out. I never of thought i would be so upset and gutted at the loss of a bike. i did look after this one, it was mint and had never seen rain in the 5000 miles i did on it.
I've had a good talk with the wife and after looking at all the pro's and con's, i would not be getting another vfr12. So we went out and i have replaced it with a Fazer 8 in black. I have now just got to wait for the insurance to sort out so i can put the Fazer on the policy. Wife has a XJ6F in black so she is happy i went with the Fazer 8. On the down side i'm not over the moon at buying another bike because of how i lost my vfr12. But i'm sure i will grow to love it just as much. So i am looking forward to getting to know you all on here. so get ready for lots and lots of question.
Kind Regards
Martin
