Can anyone recommend which bars to use for a more upright riding position ?, standard at present but I'd prefer slightly higher.

I'd like to raise the bars a small amount, what's the best way, risers or different bars ? Renthall do several types but which bar will give a small raise ?

Just got back from a ride and noticed the clutch felt odd, pulling the lever it feels like a two stage trigger on a gun with a very definite change half way through the travel, it's not the lever as I pushed the lever on the clutch cover and the same can be felt, any ideas before I pull it to bits ?

I have a '04 Fazer 1000 fitted with the above mentioned system...on Saturday whilst out for a ride around the N/Yorks Moors with a mate I stopped in a lay by near RAF Fylingdales to fiddle with my ear plugs, I then attempted to restart the bike but the alarm / immobiliser would not come off, go back 3yrs , out with same mate who was on a ZZR14 with the same alarm fitted, we went to Olivers Mount cafe which is next to several radio or phone masts and guess what ? his alarm wouldn't come off and the bike wouldn't start, a lady came out of the cafe and told him to push it down the road about 200yds and try it, worked a treat.....so back to present, we pushed mine into a valley out of line of sight of the big transmitter at Fylingdales and when I placed the fob next to the alarm it worked perfectly.
Just a bit of info if anyone has a similar problem...these systems are obviously affected by powerful radio masts.

My Fazer 1000 has stood for about a month without running as I've had the exup out and cleaned it, refitted with lots of Coppaslip however on start up it's smoking, not a great amount but prior to this it didn't smoke,I've run it till hot but it still smokes, could this be the Coppaslip burning off or do they all smoke after they've been stood a while ? it's currently on SORN so I can't take it for a long ride.

I have an old Oxford Optimiser that has worked perfectly for years, however the traffic light system which indicates the state of the battery has stopped working, the power light is still on....how can I tell if it's still working ? I have a multi tester but little idea how to use it.
Can anyone advise please ?

New to Fazer 1000 ownership I'm very impressed by it's ability to pull high gears at low speeds...I can go to 25mph in 6th and accelerate away smoothly, no labouring or juddering....is this normal or has my bike been "Ivanised " and how would I tell without stripping it ??

I thought I'd cured the misfire by fitting new plugs and trimming the ht leads but it's back ! has anyone got a good coil for sale ???

As I'm new to Fazer 1000 Gen 1 2004 ownership I could use a bit of info, I understand "Ivan" makes jet kits for Fazers, what do they do ? who fits them ? how much are they ? are they worth it ?
Cheers,

Hello, my name is Greg, 60yrs old, I live in Durham and am currently wanting to buy a Fazer 1000.
I have an Aprilia RSVR that I use for track days and short rides but want a Fazer for longer stuff and touring. I've just sold a Blackbird as I was no longer comfortable on it.
I've been to see a really nice '03 Fazer (19,000 miles) but was put off buying as the exup valve was rattling loudly, question.....do they all do this ? is it repairable ? is it expensive to repair ? what other options are there i.e. remove it, custom system, jam it open etc?
I would appreciate your input,
thanks,
Greg
