There's a bank of carbs coming up for sale which have been modded to accept Ivan's kit but which don't have the needles or jets for them installed. Reason is they're in another set of carbs I sold on a while ago.
All you'd need is to get hold of one of Ivan's kits and install the parts in place of the originals. No need to do the drilling of the pilot bypass holes, which is what frightens a lot off doing this themselves.
Would also make a good set of carbs for spares use in the future.
Hi JonnyFoxtrot
i have a Micron titanium silencer and link pipe
sat in the shed if you are still looking.

If neither option works, I can tell how to check it yourself quite quickly.
Hi Jonny, the Fazer is the bike that i have had the longest, 5 years, sold it, bought it back after 4 years!
The SX was a great bike, mega engine pulls from nothing and is sports bike fast, heavy ish steering at slow speed, lots of vibes through the seat and foot pegs, not as comfy as the Fazer on long trips, better brakes than the Fazer (its more modern), handles well in the twisties,
Go try one, it may be for you (i should have kept the fazer warm in the garage whilst owning the SX)
Hi All, i was on here 5 years ago but left when I sold my Gen1 1000, well.................... i have bought the same bike back again as to good to
let someone else have him (he is called Freddy!), the bike has a a full monty ivan upgrade (done by mike), a niton rear shock, hagon front springs, braided hoses, yam sports screen, Arrow can, heated grips, new battery and chain and sprockets, hugger and belly pan, pazzo leavers, new PR 4 tyres, just been serviced, im not selling him again as regretted doing so 4 years ago to buy a green SX thingy
Excellent stuff. Don't forget to use stainless allen bolts when you swap it over,and plenty of highmelt copper grease.
Also if you come across one from a Thunder Ace of the same period.Thanks robbo, another one I can keep my eye out on! Got some R1 pipes arriving today/tomorrow so fingers crossed the valve in them is ok. Seller made it sound alright!
So looks like my EXUP valve is completely seized solid in the housing so I'm looking to get hold of another one, preferably that actually comes apart! Thanks
Just wondering: have you tried freeing up your existing EXUP assembly? Heat it up and stick it in some penetrating fluid: WD40, paraffin + oil, diesel, etc. Might take a while but with a bit of persistence you may get it free.
1998 to 2000 R1 exup valve has the same part number as the Fazer 1000 so will fit.
some year R1 valves fit... there's a set of R1 headers on ebay for £62 (2001 /5jj model) someone or search here will tell you if it's the right one..
Mine have been brilliant. No breakdowns and absolutely no issues.Brilliant cheers!
