Just doing some spring cleaning on the bike today and came to swap the plugs and was reminded what a ballache working around that monstrosity of an a.i.s system is. I hate it and would like to remove it for good. This is my second fazer thou, on the first one i pulled it out and ended up tapping the spigot's and plugging them with bolts, but doing the 2 outside cylinders was an ordeal as you can't get a tap holder into such a tight space; it took hours of turning a tap with a tiny spanner 1/8th of a turn at a time. I Have zero desire to do this ever again. l
Long story short does anyone know of any kits with the caps that go over the top of the spigot's that can be sourced in the uk, or anyone have a such a thing in their spare parts box they'd be willing to part ways with. The only proper kit i can find is the holeshot one which i'd like to avoid as it's a long 'ol trip from the states to yorkshire for the postman and i'm sure hmrc would be demanding some import taxes aswell...

As per the title, the oil cooler on my gen one thou well and truly shat the bed the other day, one of the spigots for the coolant hoses has rotted right through leaving me with an exhaust covered in coolant and a bike that is now an ornament till i can replace the part. there are none in the uk on ebay and you can't buy them new anymore, surely someone around here has an old engine they don't mind pulling one off... This bike is my commuter and i'm having to now use my summer bike through the worst of the winter grime and salty roads to get to work which doesn't fill me with joy, so any assistance would be greatly appreciated.

It's with a heavy heart that i'm selling my trusty old fzs 1000, 32'000 miles on the clock, 2002 model, i'm after £1500.00, located in Leeds
Priced low for a quick sale, bearing in mind it needs some TLC, hence the low price.

This bike has been my commuter/hack/touring bike for the past 3 years and has been ridden 12 months a year in all weathers, as such it is far from a show bike, with various dings, scratches and general age related wear and tear

The good bits:

I have maintained it mechanically, and in my ownership it's had all the suspension linkage bearings replaced, braided brake Hoses, stainless steel pistons fitted in front brake calipers, carb inlet rubbers replaced, clutch cable replaced, battery replaced with a motobatt recently, tyres replaced a few months ago, Renthal flat bars fitted and forks dropped through the yokes for a sportier riding position/quicker handling, forks stripped and serviced a couple of winters ago, exup valve regularly serviced , and new exup cables fitted.

The not so good bits:

-Looks tired, cosmetic issues, some flaking engine paint, scratches, a couple of small cracks in the fairings, small ding in the tank, rusty bolts and fixings etc.
-Big tear in the seat which I've expertly re-upholstered  up  with gaffer tape
-Due a proper service; a few thousand miles past the service interval for a valve check, fluids and filters etc need changing and Carbs could probably do with a strip and clean, chain and sprockets past their best, advisory for head bearings on last mot
-I've been advised by a mechanic that the old datatool immobilizer / alarm system should be removed asap to prevent electrical issues later down the line

Despite all this she still pulls harder than a 14 year old boy who's just discovered how to turn off parental controls on the family computer, and can get you from 0 mph to a license ban in a few seconds. I would love to keep her and restore her to her former glory, but i got a good deal on a low mile fz1 last month, and can't justify owning both so this needs to go to free up some space in the shed and recoup some funds.

Please don't send daft offers, it's priced low already,  there's plenty of dodgy folk who would list this as a minter and ask for a grand more. throw 500 quid or so at it and this could be a nice tidy bike again, or just do the basics and ride the hell out of it like i did, these bike last forever!

that's fine by me, pm sent

Has anyone got one of these they are happy to part with? just after the rear rack and top plate to fit either a monokey or monolock topbox. Needed asap for a trip next weekend, last minute jaunt with the other half and could do with more luggage capacity than what i can get in my soft panniers... Any help from fellow foccers would be greatly appreciated as everywhere is currently quoting several weeks wait as the Givi racks are all in Italy apparently
