(Resolved) - Ignition barrell fzs fazer 1000 2004

[Fuzzygoth]

I am looking for an ignition barrell for a Fazer 1000 2004 edition. Anyone know if an 03 barrell will fit?

Cheers,

03-05 will fit.

what is the problem with yours?

My bike has had problems starting and it's been suggested that the ignition barrel is gubbed.
The bike struggles to start but once started it's fine and ticks over nicely, everything else has
been checked so they suspect that the ignition barrel when turned on it so worn its not
connecting properly so replacing the barrel should solve the problem. I'd rather not as I have
two keys for my bike and changing the ignition means a key for the ignition and a seperate
one for the seat lock and fuel tank. But I'd rather it starts

Cheers,
Fuzzy

rather than suspect, take the connectors apart and check for continuity in the wiring. if the dash lights come on, there's a fair bet it's working.

Well its in my garage and he said its the ignition barrel is the problem because It's so worn
he also said its sealed so its hard to tell. But I don't want to pay £300 for a new one so I
need to find one second hand to fit an 04 Fazer 1000 gen 1

Oh nice, I just found and orders a complete set on Saturday £80 from a breakers
now onto the next challenge
 
A rear brake caliper, hopefully easier and cheaper than an ignition barrel.
